I have finally mostly finished modelling our construction project this summer. I’d like to be as efficient and effective as possible in my Component naming scheme before transferring to Layout drawings though. I have applied as much logic as my limited SketchUp experience will allow in these Compone…

Profile Builder has a batch renamer. You could use the filter search in the Outliner panel to select the objects. It does sound that you don’t have a hierarchy set up in the model. That is, you nest all joists in a group and assign that group to a Tag. That group can than be part of a larger group …

Thank you Mike. I will try this batch renamer today. Am happy knowing that there this in fact, a built in means of renaming multiple components at once. This will be a very useful tool for re-organizing my model’s component names. I do have hierarchy set up in my model, and have nested components o…

There’s some heady stuff in this reply. I’m going to have to spend some time digesting it. [image] MikeWayzovski: One could use the definition of a standard length 2x4 and scale the length only. This will take the number of unique definitions down and you could easily generate a report for the …

You are allowed to create one extension per day😀

This is just a five-minute code snippet… :blush:

Yes, this looks like it might do the trick. Mike the SketchUp Sage already sent me the link. Coding is a little over my head. It’d be like learning Arabic or Klingon. I got a syntax error, after ‘copy and paste’ so obviously did something wrong. I’ll figure it out. Thank you Learned One.

How do I change this for renaming groups?
