      This is a much needed plugin for me. It would speed up the process of my modeling a lot. Most major modeling applications have a loop select, or a loop select plugin.

      How it usually works is that you select a face or line and then select another face or line in a specific direction. The second selection will tell the tool which way and on which axis to run the loop. The loop continues selecting until it reaches the original selection.

      Would this be possible in Sketchup with a ruby??????? PLEASE???

      Also, once a loop is selected, it would be nice to be able to grow the selection by means of the up and down arrows.

      This would be one of those tools that people wonder how they ever lived without!!

          Wikii, you mind sharing the ruby? It looks like exactly what we're talking about. Will it select an edge loop as well?

              Another Improvements:

              Please See "features" here:

              http://www.orionflame.com/

              These two plugins for 3dsmax (orion flame and polyboost) have fantastic tools for modeling, beyond selection.

                        FYI, a very basic, and very beta version, of a loop tool can be found here: http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=14975&p=114429#p114429

                        I was just playing around today with some other selection tools. Not sure if I'm doing this selection effectivly though. If any of the more experienced scripts would like to jump on this it'd be great.
