plugin should also suggest saving component back to disk once editing is done.once you start editing xrefed component the plugin should check if xrefed component is locked and latest and if it’s not it would allow editing, otherwise it would warn the user.by default once component is Xrefed it would get locked to prevent editing.Would it be possbile to add a kind of file locking system that would only allow one person to edit the xrefed file at a time? I imagine it could work like this: When several people work on the same project they need to have a system that prevents two of them working on the same part of the model concurently. But they all lack one important feature that is needed in a team enviroment. I’ve been looking for xref manager plugin for a while now and tested TIG’s Xref manager, Cross Reference manager and this one. I’ll say it here again: This extension should be absorbed into SketchUp natively. I can say this process has helped me shave off a couple of hours per job. This is rather dangerous for organisational reasons, but I understand the need for this to be the case. The trick is that an incoming/replacement component must have the same file name as its proxy counterpart or Reference Manager will not be able to match them up. I point to the folder which contains all my new components to be batch imported. I select all proxy components from the list and then click ‘relink’ and select ‘common directory’. I open the duplicate template model and launch Eneroth Reference Manager. To preserve my template model for later use and other jobs, at this point, I close it and then duplicate it to a new working folder. (Easy to do) - they are now living in the designated folder on my HD. I use Eneroth Reference Manager to do a batch save out operation of the proxy components. The template model’s proxy components are given meaningful, preferably sequential, definitions such as ‘A,B,C……Z’ or ‘1,2,3…100’ etc These components exist in the positions I want my batch imported components to eventually occupy. The key is to make a ‘template model’ which contains pre positioned proxy components. This helps with cost estimates and also helps us identify problems before cutting etc.īefore Eneroth’s Reference Manager this was a rather laborious task. Which I flatten down, if you will, in order to layout the parts on modelled material sheets. * The extension does show all paths with forward slashes as it looks awful to mix the two styles and it makes sorting more predictable, but the meaning of the path isn’t changed. However, you can use the bulk relink feature yourself to relink all components in “C:/ProgramData/SketchUp/SketchUp 2019” to “/Applications/SketchUp 2019/SketchUp.app/Contents/Resources/Content/”. The extension is honestly and transparently* displaying the path the component is already associated with, not using any secret rules to silently remap the path depending on system. If the same template is used on both systems this component will however show the location on Windows machine. In some cases the suggested file name can probably be helpful to differentiate what component you relink, but that wont work for internal components or components with non-descriptive I don’t know if the Mac template is different but you can select Marc and run Sketchup.active_.path to see what path he is associated with. I’ve logged this issue in the SketchUp API issue tracker ( Title missing on Mac openpanel įor now I think the workaround has to be to relink one component at a time on Mac (when not using bulk relink to relink a whole folder structure at once).
