Dimension Tools. I am using SketchUp 2017 professionally and. I'd be willing to to compensate the extension author who is able to create a Dimension Tool. Smith for an in-depth discussion in this video, Creating a template watermark with Adobe Illustrator, part of SketchUp for Architecture: LayOut.
The two tools in this file facilitate the workflow recommended by many SketchUp experts: Begin by drawing the complete model without dimensions or annotations. Place all primitive entities on Layer0 and move Groups and Components to other layers when necessary to control visibility.
When the model is complete, create scenes/pages with the model oriented so that critical features can be dimensioned visibly and draw dimensions, text, and angular dimensions again all on Layer0. Finally,move the dimension entities to a layer specific to the scene(s) on which they can be displayed legibly and without being clutter. The first tool, 'Select all Dimensions' activates the Select tool, clears it, and adds all currently visible linear dimensions, Texts, and Groups with names matching 'Angular Dimension' to the selection. This prepares you to manipulate all the dimensions in bulk, e.g. To assign a font or layer. The second tool, 'Dimensions to Layer', prompts the user to select an existing layer or create a new layer. If a new layer is requested, it is made hidden on all scenes except the current one. Snooper db8500 serial number location.

It's a good timesaver when someone works with a lot of dimensions in the model.

Please, can you take me the rb file text modification to obtain this? Thank you very much anyway for the plugin.
