Transforms

Transforming Entities By ID

let model = await SketchUpApi.getActiveModel();
let selection = await model.getSelection();

model.performOperation((op) => {
    // Transform using the translate shorthand (an array with 3 numbers)
    // This will transform all x coords by 0, y coords by 0 and z coords by 100
    op.drawingElementsApplyTransformation(selection.drawingElements, [0, 0, 100]);
}, 'translate selected elements');

Transforming Entities By ID Bulk

You may find that applying transformations one at a time can result in undesirable intersections of geometry. To avoid this you can apply multiple different transforms atomically using this method

let model = await SketchUpApi.getActiveModel();
let selection = await model.getSelection();

model.performOperation((op) => {
    // Transform using the translate shorthand (an array with 3 numbers)
    // This will transform all x coords by 0, y coords by 0 and z coordinates randomly between 0 and 100.
    const transforms = selection.drawingElements.map((drawingElement) => {
        return [0, 0, Math.random() * 100];
    })
    op.drawingElementsBulkTransformation(selection.drawingElements, transforms);
}, 'translate selected elements');
