Hi everyone! Let me know if you've used this tool and what you think about it in the comments below! :)

This is much appreciated and way overdue. This should be a native SketchUp function. Thanks for the review, Justin and thank you Curic for what looks like a great extension.

Another amazing find Justin! I have been begging SU to implement a “browser style” folder system to organize scenes for years!!! I still don’t understand why this isn’t a native feature, but glad Curic developed this! Looking forward to implementing this into my work flow!

I've been making the point on the SKP forums that this functionality needs to be cooked into the main app for years now and multiple times (especially since they added similar folder functionality to tags). The scene bar at top can have dropdown folders showing the sub scenes as example. The side tray can be made to resemble the tag tray. Ill be checking this. Can you have the same scene in multiple folders?

This still breaks in the sense that this functionality can't be shared with clients unless they also have the plugin (they won't) so it will still be messy for client usage or sharing models over trimble (or Ipad). I believe much of the copy/paste functionality, one can already do in the SKP scene tray but certainly the ability to sort to ones own needs and hide and put into folders of scenes is much needed.

Any chance you can do a tutorial on a Self Reversing Screw ? need it for a wire winding machine; doing my head in trying this, cheers in advance :)

This is an old one, but be careful because I was using it in SU 2022 (and the extension version is the same, the last one, it hasn't been updated) and was full of bugs, SU would freeze and in a few seconds crash almost every time just for opening this extension window, and when SU wouldn't crash i would learn the second day when i open the same project that no changes to scenes/tags made through this extension weren't saved, although in the previous day everything seemed to be saved. Maybe in 2024 version there are no bugs, but for sure i have become scared of using this extension, not because of the crash but because not saving the changes to scenes/tags and i don't have the time to work twice. I'll give it a try again with SU 2024.
The entities states can not be saved because you already have a tag for those entities, and that tag it already has been associated with the scene, for that function to work you should not have tag, or at least no association for that tag and scene, but better no tag.

honestly I'm wondering if the latest version of SketchUp is better than an older version with free extensions?

"I want to know how to minimize an SKP file by creating groups and components, because whenever I create a model, I think I create too many unnecessary groups. My computer lags even with a high-end PC, including 32GB RAM, an i7 13th Gen, and a 3060 Ti.

Note : I am an Architect, but whenever i do complex model i struggles with groups and components,

Please make a detailed video on this senerio Sir...🙏☺️
