          It zooms into what ever is selected. As its name says. 🤓
          What do you want it to do? Zoom into the unselected open group?

            I've got Jim's version, available from this forum, but it does the same thing...zooms to any selected faces in an open group.

              if i select something inside of a group it does not work - but will fit the contents to screen if nothing is selected. 😎

              all i'm doing is edit geometry inside the group..

              EDIT i take it open group means inside of it - what about comps?

              [can't seem to replicate it now but when modeling complex stuff it always happens]

                What do you mean with "It doesnt work" ? What do you want it to do?
                If you are inside a group the group itself isn't selected.
                My script zooms in to whats selected. Inside group or not.

                  it happens especially with large models [most of mine are]

                  if i am inside a group and i select an entity, when i press zoom the selected entity is not zoomed to screen. if i deselect then the contents of the group will fit to screen

                  now that is strange right?

                    ok, this is what happens to the script: if i am inside of a group/component and 'hide rest of model' is on, zoom selection does not work. surely this must happen to everyone?

                      I've just tried it.
                      When Hide similar components is checked, it works fine.
                      When Hide rest of model is checked, it ignores the selected entity and zooms to the origin.
                      Must be a bug.
                      I guess we just need to select, then zoom, then hide.

                        Unfortunately, we can't control "hide rest of the model" via ruby....

                          Oh !! I have found a script can control this function !! Thank you Jim !

                          Sketchup.active_model.rendering_options["InactiveHidden"] = !Sketchup.active_model.rendering_options["InactiveHidden"]
                          

                          The code is ready guys !

                              Dear Matt,

                              How does your script work?

                              Regards,
                              Bob

                                Zoom selection works great.

                                My question is, how it would be possible not to zoom, but to scale. A door would zoom to screen, a door handle would scale.

                                @watkins
                                select a group/component/item, right mouse click > »Zoom on selected«. The selected item fills the screen

                                    Maybe my questions was not understandable.

                                    I would like not to zoom all selected items, but to see them from the near with same distance, so that a door or a door handle is shown with same scale in the middle of the screen. Is that possible with »Zoom Selection«?

                                          Matt, a couple of bugs i think - when i am inside a group and i select a face, SU zooms to the face but hides all other geometry inside the group (!) - second (even worse) is that after i zoom, i can't do anything: the cursor is the selection tool but it actually doesn't work..it's in some kind no tool suspension. thought you'd be glad to know! 😮 😄

                                            Your list of mistakes I could verify. But with right mouse click I could leave the marked object.

                                            @Matt
                                            Is there a difference to zsel.rb?

                                            I look to your Zoom Selection, because I look for a way to find objects in my SU-model by name by dragging them in the middle of screen with even same distance. Looking distance for example even 200 cm. This way, all found objects are shown with same scale.
