#Sketchup mirror plugin install#
i’ve replaced one of the machines and uninstalled sketchup but i can not install the plugin on the new machine with the warehouse manager reporting a license limit exceeded. The other two files are needed on a PC to do the roll-up of the Outliner. i bought the s4u mirror plugin for sketchup a while a go and installed it on the computers i use for modelling.

The mirror plane has to be one of the planes defined by the center of the object.

The downfall is that you can`t select the mirror plane. We can select the object we want to mirror, right click on it and select "Flip Along:" This will give us the chance to select which plane (red, green or blue) of the object to use as a mirror plane. Two of them can be done with the standard SketchUp installation, the third one which is preffered method requires a Plugin.
