Is there an extension that automatically make an exploded view of a complex sketchup model, like a gearbox? I would like to have be able to set distance etc …
There are a couple of old ones. No idea if either works in current versions of SketchUp, though. There’s ExplodeImplode and Exploded View. I found it’s easier to make exploded views that work for my needs using just the Move tool.
Not sure if you are still looking for an answer to this question, but i just found something called ABF at getabf.net. The site is from Thailand, but I hovered over the various blocks and found the “download” button. It installed as an extension and I’m experimenting with it. It looks like it can do the job, but the model has to be built right (e.g., each piece has to be a unique component). If you get it and figure anything else out, let me know.
