Hey all.
Is there a easy option to toggle the faceme (and shadowsfacesun) behaviour on a part that’s already inserted in a mannequin?
In fact it’s potential to change it when you open the part as a mannequin within the Mannequin Data.
Ideally, I’d prefer to toggle the FaceMe property within the Entity Data of the tray (1), and never need to open the part in one other Sketchup session, open the Mannequin Data and tick All the time face digicam and Shadows face solar (2)…
I take advantage of SU since v2.1 (so twenty years in the past) however I’ve all the time questioned why it wasn’t potential.
FaceMe is a property you may solely work together with when creating the part (thus not accessible once you insert an exterior part) or once you open the compo itself.

You possibly can change that within the part panel as properly.
Choose the part in that tray after which change the tab in ‘Edit’ .

Okay I get that. I used to be trying within the fallacious panel. It’s a bit bizarre to not have that risk within the entity information panel although. 
Think about having to crawl by way of tons of of elements within the elements panel to seek out the one equivalent to the one chosen within the middle of your display screen… counter intuitive, I’d say.
If you choose a part, within the Entity Data panel you see its identify. Then it’s straightforward to seek out it within the Elements panel.
properly… I form of have understood that you just discover this regular.
Let me simply say that it’s not logical to need to seek for the part within the elements panel (amongst tons of of equally named ones) when the part itself is already chosen within the viewport, proven the Entity information panel, and that the FaceMe toggle isn’t out there though you have already got all these toggles???
I’ll move your touch upon as a characteristic request.
Within the meantime, I discovered this free extension:
https://extensions.sketchup.com/extension/1779a590-1342-4e2f-abb2-c19f0747627e/curic-behavior
It solely claims to work as much as SketchUp 2018, however it nonetheless works within the newest model I’ve.
There may be one oddity, a minimum of on my Mac. The instruments are usually not enabled till you go to Instruments/Curic/Behaior, and select Habits all the time face digicam, for instance. Then that entry within the instrument palette works okay.
