      Great!
      I asked for this a while ago.
      I suggested it was something that should be a standard feature in SketchUp
      Now it is. Thanks for another great contribution.

      Regards
      Mr S

        Thanks TIG. However I expected to see Reverse Faces in there too.

            Reverse and Orient faces is already built-in on the context-menu - near the top [as are some other 'select tools']... adding them would only duplicate stuff...

              TIG
              ❓ Why constantly to use the method of group_miner, when in him practically is not there a necessity?
              ❓ Why to apply properties to entity, when are new properties of entity equal to the applied properties?
              These questions are linked at a speed of implementation of script on the large scenes.

              ❗ Example of considerable increase of speed of implementation of script:

              
              class Sketchup;;Group
                  def definition
                      self.entities.parent
                  end
              end
              def SelectionTool;;group_miner(ents)
                  ents.each do |e|
                      if e.is_a? Sketchup;;Group
                          e.make_unique if e.definition.instances.length > 1
                          SelectionTool;;group_miner(e.entities)
                      end
                  end
              end
              
              

              ❗ At the use of method of typename speed of implementation of script goes down in once or twice!
              It would be desirable to correct these shortages...

                Alex, I have not run any tests on typename, but I use it regularly. Are you saying that it is much slower than .is_a?

                I'd rather use the faster method too, I just never knew there was a faster one. I'm sure TIG isn't using a slow method on purpose either...

                  The more elements in the model - the better results script.

                    That's some interesting numbers. I've always used k ind_of? - wasn't aware of the is_a?. then again, I've never tested the speed of methods either.

                    Thanks for posting this test.

                      Maybe we could add this info to a new stickcy where we collect such useful tips and info?

                        Thanks Alex - you've probably noticed I used the .is_a? test everywhere else in the script - however, I didn't realise it was so much slower to use typename=="". 😳
                        I've also incorporated my own version of your group_miner speed-up suggestion that now avoids testing groups that area already unique... 🤓

                        I just need to edit ALL of my other scripts to change e.typename=="" to e.is_a?() !!! 😢

                          It was even necessary to write the analogue of SketchUp Text tool, because a standard tool begins to work very long.

                              Hmm... .kind_of? is an alias for .is_a? - Is that fraction of a differences just some other random outside co-incidence?

                                I did a somewhat larger test. By the looks of it .is_a?, .kind_of? and .class are pretty much the same. I take the differences due to other system factors at the time of execution.

                                          I have lost a component somewhere in my drawing
                                          to find it, I pasted a second one in a visible place
                                          when I select this, the entity info clearly says Component (2 in model)
                                          with the components window context menu, I selected all components
                                          I thought then, if I could hide the rest of the model, I would easily spot where the original one is
                                          but view/hide rest of model doesn't work unless you are inside the component,
                                          which means you can select only one of both, and the other one is deselected
                                          please help

                                            View > Hidden Geometry ON will show all hidden objects.
                                            If it's on a Layer that is OFF you won't see it though...
                                            The Outliner will also show all instances that are on ON Layers...
                                            You can select them in the Outliner and they select in the model.
