[Plugin] HoverSelect - v1.5a - 07 Oct 17
-
New version **HoverSelect 1.1a**available, with some additional features, mainly:
- Edge selection (and un-selection) via rectangle, by mouse dragging, for visible-only edges (but also for all edges, as in native Sketchup)
- Configuration of the precision for picking edges
- Options (modifiers and filter) accessible via a button palette (experimental). There are indeed also accessible via the contextual menu and shortcuts.

Nice UI update Fredo
I like that "button palette" that pops up with the command
Thxs -
This is the next generation of UI in SketchUp!!!
A lot better, quick, easy and more efficient than the webdialogs (and I assume that is also more compatible for macs).I make alternative icons and cursors for this plugin:
Here you can download them:
To drop into HOVERSELECT_Dir_11 folder
Extract into Plugins\HOVERSELECT_Dir_11 and set this ones in "Tools>Fredo6 Collection>HoverSelect>Default Parameters...
Thank you again Fredo!!

PS. The new Edge selection via rectangle dosenĀ“t work inside groups (I mean double click on group to edit and then select the hoverselect).

Thanks very much. I will integrate.
For the button palette, unfortunately the buttons are not image files, but drawing with primitives. I have not found any method to draw png in the viewport.@daniel s said:

This is intentional. You can only select at the first level of the active model, as in Sketchup native. Anyway, you would have some problem with the selection, if you selected within a component or group.

It is difficult to me to explain this in english so i make this gif:
The first time the selection is good because selects all at the first level (visible-only / Ray Cast Selection).
The second time IĀ“m editing a group, but dosenĀ“t selects what is inside the group but yes what it is outside. This is intentional? In SketchUp if you are editing a group you can select all what is inside the group and nothing outside. In this case itĀ“s not selecting inside the group and yes outside this group.Daniel S

Daniel,
Thanks for signaling. This is simply a big bug which I fixed in 1.1c (actually a lack of attention).

Yes
Awesome... -
How is it one?
I'm really curious. -
Have you downloaded it and used it Thom? Its an awesome UI!
I think that it is is done with the view.draw type methods. All the draw, draw2d, draw_points, draw_polyline, draw_text. That is my guess.

Yes, this is actually pure drawing routines in the view. Which is somehow also an issue to capture events when you cascade tools.
So far, this is experimental, but I'll work on it to retrofit in other plugins.Fredo

I thought you could only draw lines and text. Not filled shapes. I need to look at the API again.

Hi Fredo, i've not tried this plugin yet and maybe it works for my request. But it's possible to add a filter "by distance" to the selection via rectangle? I try to explain: actually when you select by a rectangle you select all edges and faces in the window even if they are very far and that is quite annoying. I have in mind an option with an input for maximum distance selection like, for example, "select all edges and faces in the window as far as 100 cm". Something like "Max Wall Thickness" in Windowizer 4 plugin.
Thank you and sorry if that is a nonsense...

Massimo,
This make perfect sense.
And after all, the tool is there to comply with requests from users.I'll do something in a next version.
Thanks for the idea.

Fredo:
This would be the variable falloff "brush" available in some other modelers.
Sure would be nice to have this capability. -
Working on the spanish translation (very busy these days...)
