Hi guys… please help me out. I’m currently having an issue about component. When I create a component as usually (ex. Component Name : Box), then I was using Move-Copy tools to create a similar component, it should under same name also “Box”, right? but, I don’t know why it became to Box#1 as another intended new component which unrelated to that component Box. so, when I edit the component those Box ad Box#1 are not affected between each other. And I also see that there is no way to click Make Unique for any of those components.
So, please advice me what should I do? Thanks
After you right click the second box and select make unique, the model looks like this. The first box is still defined as box and the second unique one is assigned the definition box#1.
If this is all that is in the model, when you try to right click either of these components the selection Unique is grayed out because both components are already unique at this point.
It seems that this is not what actually happened with @Hepi … Or maybe I do not understand myself
Anyway, check the Component Window here
Sketchup
the program may be understanding that when copying, a “box” is an internal component and another box is another external component to the file you are working on
Hi @zaz1
thanks for your response, but unfortunately your opinion doesn’t work in my case. please see the reference video for getting better understanding on my issue : https://ufile.io/m5g85
anyway, appreciated your idea as well
after you see that video, please see what’s your suggestion to solve that please
thanks very much
Hi @Eduardo
Thanks for your response too…
I’ve just tried your idea to my SKP as a new file, so not really matter about the purge unused bcoz it’s just a box and no other object may effect to it. Well, in your first idea also same, the original box and the duplicate box both are in internal component.
please see this reference video for better understanding my issue and please help me out with any new idea
thanks very much
Hi @eneroth3
Yes, you got the point… but, I dont know what exactly causing this issue. If it is as you said coz by a bad extension, then would you please advice me how to detect which bad extension and how to remove this to solve my issue? any idea please
Here’s a short Ruby snippet that prints out the backtrace to any method using Sketchup::ComponentInstance#make_unique. You can paste it into the Ruby console and press enter to run it, then copy the component and see what is making it unique.
class Sketchup::ComponentInstance
unless defined?(ene_original_make_unique)
alias_method :ene_original_make_unique, :make_unique
private :ene_original_make_unique
end
def make_unique(*args)
puts caller
ene_original_make_unique(*args)
end
end
Note that this is not intended to be installed in the plugin folder, and after identifying the misbehaving extension I would recommend to restart SketchUp before continue working, as the snippet modifies API base classes.
Hi @eneroth3,
I have followed your instruction to paste that coding to ruby console as seen in my video here : https://ufile.io/wkvig but, it’s still the same… doesnt solve yet
are these item need to be removed just by remove/delete in that plugin folder, right?
