      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.
      c

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

        it would make a nice accompaniment to the weld tool.

          Hey Thomas 😎 ,

          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 👍

          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 😮 👍 👍

          ,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 😉

              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

                That's interesting... no Deselect All function built in to SU.
                I'll include it for the next release. Thanks for the tip. 👍

                          Thanks, thomthom:
                          I will check this out.

                            I've been read this tread but thought that it wouldn't be needed .... but recently i'v recieved a file that is done by someone that really is textured badly ( i mean it is textured to groups, not faces inside them) and is using lots of similar group instead of component, ... so your job is really time concuming and worthy .... 😍

                                Added filters for Curves (Polylines)
                                Before Arcs would select Curves and Arcs and Circles - Now they select Arcs and Circles

                                Curves will select Curves, Arcs and Circles.

                                Question:
                                Currently, Curves selects Arcs and Circles are a subset of Curves.
                                But is it preferred that Curves selects only Curves - Arcs only Arcs and Circles selects only Circles?

                                  ThomThom, takk for alt.

                                  Could you do a little favor? When you update a plugin, could you add the date of the update to the title line? I can't remember version numbers well enough to recognize and update has been issued. I usually can't remember the date ,either. But I know enough to hover the cursor over the clock on my computer screen to find out what the current date actually is.

                                  Thank you.

                                        I would make a suggestion here.
                                        I think the title of this ruby should be Thomthom Selection Toys, in your own honor and ownership.
                                        You have advanced Sketchup to a new level here!
                                        Thank you.
