    Awesome plugin Kwok!

    This will be a real time saver. I always like to tweak my code and that always meant to explode everything to be able to regroup things the way I wanted.
    You may want to add in the read me file to use the control key for those that may not have caught that part in the video. I kept trying to click on it lol thinking it wasn't working.

    Thank you so much!

    You are welcome, guys. I can't believe, I came up with that either. Oh, it does say to use the "control" key in the readme. ;)

    There was a question in the chat about, if there is some online tutorials to learn Ruby. So I will list a few that I used. I watched Chris Fullmer's youtube videos, and he has two tutorial on sketchucation.com. And the sketcucation forum is where the new plugins 1st show up and there is a developer's forum there, too:
    http://www.sketchucation.com/advanced-tutorials-index/
    http://www.youtube.com/results?search_q ... type=&aq=f

    The Sketchup Ruby application programming interface (API) is here and there are some tutorials too. Basically, the api is a listing of all the commands (Classes and methods):
    http://code.google.com/apis/sketchup/

    And it's good to read something on generic ruby, too, because I think the sketchup tutorials don't go into enough details on the language itself and details of the syntax or on different ways to write the same thing. For that, I suggest a ~80 page online book called "The Little book of Ruby". I just read it a few days ago.
    http://www.sapphiresteel.com/The-Little-Book-Of-Ruby or the direct link to the pdf

    Kwok, I have to say this is a huge time saver!
    Great work you really have the hang of this ruby now.
    Very cool using the micro KnightOWL for the test, if it can do that one it can do any of them :)
    The really great part of this plugin for me is the ability not to have to reselect them to reorder them.
    Thank you for making this cool plugin keep up the good work! :D

    Wow, lots of replys today. Thanks, Mark for the top of page promo. You're all very welcome. I was snowed in and without power all day, so nothing to do but came up with 3 pages of notes for possible future plugins. :)

    Kwok, The original link seems disconnected. How can I get this wonderful script? I have just spent the last 4 hours trying to group and control order of cuts with obviously miserable success.

    I just made it so you can download it as a zip file for now. It's in the first post.
    Just unzip and take the .rb file out and put it in the plugins folder.
