Function Introduction: This is an efficiency enhancement tool designed for professional SketchUp users, aimed at perfectly addressing the limitations of component associations in specific workflows. It can intelligently, securely, and efficiently convert all component instances in the model into independent groups with just one click, clearing the way for your subsequent fine editing (especially entity tool operations).
Core application scenarios: When you need to perform various solid tool operations (intersection, difference, union, etc.) on a large number of identical component instances in a model (such as building columns, doors and windows, curtain wall units, array modules, etc.), you usually need to manually "set each component as unique" to break their associations. This plugin is designed to address this pain point by enabling all component instances to become independent entities through a batch conversion, making the subsequent editing process as smooth as silk.
Main features: ○ Full model processing: One click start, automatically scan and process all selected component instances. Deep nesting support: It can accurately identify and transform components nested within other components or groups at any depth. Efficient transformation logic: For multiple instances of the same component, optimization algorithms are used to perform only one core transformation, while the rest is achieved through transformation, balancing speed and efficiency. Intelligent cleaning option: After the conversion is completed, it will remind you whether you need to thoroughly clean all component definitions in the model that are no longer used due to this operation, and purify the model file with one click. ○ Non trace operation: If a hidden object is temporarily displayed during the operation, it will automatically restore its original hidden state after completion, without interfering with your work settings. ○ Security and revocability: Built in multiple security checks (such as hidden object warnings), and the entire "conversion+cleaning" process is a complete and revocable operation at any time.
How to use: Select the components/groups that require batch conversion, right-click and select "Component to Group" to activate the plugin.
