      I get a right click menu but most of it greys out when
      I know they should be there.

      Yes, I have a ruby console. Not sure why. I haven't had
      the time nor patience to figure it all out. I'll place
      the plug-in back in the proper directory and see if there
      is anything in the console.

      I did have to use the plug-in. so, I placed it back
      into the plugins directory, I forgot about it and it
      happened again. but once I deleted it out of the directory
      re-started SU all was fine. This doesn't happen right away.
      it takes time for it to arise. but, it has happen twice
      but solved when I delete the .rb . (this was earlier today/
      last night).

      But I will see if anything is in the console next time. ๐Ÿ˜‰

        Please let me know if you get any messages in the console. I've not yet seen that behaviour. As you say, it could be conflicting with another plugin which I might not have installed.

        Also, could you take a screenshot when it happens?

          I just experience this myself now. That'll make it easier for me to track down what's going on.

            I believe I might have sorted out the disabled menu problem.
            Would you mind testing the plugin for me to see if it's sorted for sure? Send me a PM with your email.

              I just haven't had the time. ๐Ÿ˜ž

              I downloaded the the new version I'll put it in today
              and give it a run. Thank you. ๐Ÿ˜‰

              My email is kyprusplacid [at] g.mail dot com . I have gtalk.
              so, once you send me an email you will be on my IM.
              we can talk then, if you have gtalk.

                  This is the screenshot of the app., with the grey-out
                  on the right-click tools.

                  http://picasa***.google.com/kyprusplacid/SU?authkey=yW_XtO3TIMw&feat=directlink

                  There was nothing in the Ruby console.
                  Not sure if I'm suppose to type something
                  in there or not to get feedback. Nore
                  would I know what to type.

                  Guess this isn't much help.
                  this is with the new update by the way.

                    No worries. I saw it myself when I used the plugin quite a bit. I did some changes and after that it appeared to be gone. That's what I'll be sending you tomorrow.

                      Updated with some important bug fixes to prevent bugsplats.
                      A couple of extra select variations added.

                              Added selection methods for Dynamic Components. Same as regular components, except it allows you to select by DC family.

                                Fixed an issue where the DC menu would not appear if there was only one instance of the DC variant.

                                  Does your selection tools, or is it possible in general, to select an adjacent edge after selecting a single edge in an exploded curve? then the next and so on by clicking (with your 'tool' selected) arbitrarily rather than finding little edges, zooming in clicking, paning clicking etc - finally the curve is completely selected or as much of it as you want, you can use weld.

                                  this would help with complex models and tight spaces.

                                    Not currently. But it's something I have on my todo list.

                                      it would make a nice accompaniment to the weld tool.

                                        Hey Thomas ๐Ÿ˜Ž ,

                                        Native Selection tool of SketchUp is at the same time so powerfull and so poor. Your "Toys" increase incredibly its possibilities. I have had not to use those, concerning selection with components or groups for now but,

                                        The idea of your "Select Loop" is really amazing (and time saver)! I like it a lot ๐Ÿ‘

                                        But more and moreover what seems especially important to me is your "Selection Modifier" : which makes possible to make a new selection into an existing selection. Since the beginning i'm using SU, i think it's something which definitively misses as a native option !!!!

                                        Here with this work, I discover you as a masterclass rubymaker ๐Ÿ˜ฎ ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ‘

                                        ,simon

                                          Reorganized the menu item for the selection filters. Now split into one Select Only->... and Deselect->....
                                          The list of filters where getting too large, so I felt it was better to split them. Sorry to anyone who might have to reassign their hotkeys.

                                          Added support for dimension objects and images.

                                          Added support for soft and smooth edges.

                                          Added support for hidden entities.

                                          Added extended support for selecting faces; parallel, perpendicular, opposite and by area.

                                            very good job thomthom ๐Ÿ˜‰

                                            minor suggestion: consider adding a 'Deselect All' option for the Tools or Plugins menu, found this handy to assign to a keyboard shortcut to quickly get rid of the selection.

                                            def self.deselect_all
                                            		Sketchup.active_model.selection.clear
                                            	end
