Play — It Again Sketchup Plugin

You turn on the recorder, perform a series of clicks and commands (e.g., Draw a line > Offset it by 2 feet > Push/Pull it up 6 inches ), stop the recorder, and then click "Play." The plugin repeats that exact sequence automatically.

Download the plugin, spend 10 minutes recording simple movements, and watch your modeling speed double. Your mouse-clicking finger will thank you.

In the realm of 3D modeling, efficiency often hinges on the ability to revisit and modify previous design states. SketchUp, a leading tool for architectural and conceptual design, includes a native "Undo" function, but it is linear and volatile—once a new action is performed, previous states are lost. The “Play It Again” plugin (often distributed as part of the TT_Lib2 toolset or similar utilities) addresses this gap by functioning as a parametric sequence recorder . This paper explores the utility, mechanics, and practical applications of this tool. play it again sketchup plugin

It is often compared to an "Auto-Clicker" for CAD, but much smarter—it respects geometry context and relative positioning.

Click on the transformed copy . Each subsequent click on that copy will generate a new instance that follows the same transformation pattern. Common Use Cases

| Problem | Fix | |---------|-----| | Macro does nothing | Start playback after selecting a face/edge/point. Macros need a reference. | | Playback jumps wildly | You orbited or panned during recording. Re‑record with a fixed camera (Parallel Projection + Top view is safest). | | "TT_Lib not found" | Download and install TT_Lib² manually from SketchUcation. | | Macro works once, fails on repeat | The second location lacks the same geometry type (e.g., you recorded selecting an edge but now select a face). |

Use SketchUp's native Move , Rotate , or Scale tools to create the first copy of your component.
