        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...

                      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.

                          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... πŸ€“

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

                                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
