[Plugin] Selection Toys
-
Thank you Thom - this is one fine plugin..
-
Cheers.
I hope that I get the time at some point to rewrite it so the selections can also work as tools where you add/remove to the current selection. Letting you combine selection filters better. Though I'm not sure yet what the interface would be. I'm quite tempted to draw my own toolbar/menu/icons on the screen - inspired by Fredo's tools.
But at the same time I want to keep the plugin's current ability that you assign hot-keys to various filters. ...maybe some kind of macro system... Not really sure. It's a thinker. -
what i can saying? thanks!

Great work Tom!
I didn't have time to read through all the 9 pages of this thread (
)....so I'll bluntly post my question: Does the plugin work in SU6?
I ask this because 'dynamic components',a typical SU7 feature, is part of the selection toys plugin... -
It should work, yes. The DC filters simply checks the DC meta data stored in components, and that can be read in SU6.
-
Thanks Thomas!
-
Yes it works well this version, I used it for a few days, and the grey out problem never happens again!
Thanks, Thomas -
cool plugin!
Thanks -
New selection tool to select a face's loops.
-
Big speed improvement for most selection functions. Noticeable when dealing with large selections.
Some functions are yet not optimized. I need some more time to ensure they work as they should. These are mostly functions related to connected geometry. -
Quad-face Loop works as expected. I tried to illustrate it with that gif animation. It selects connected faces and edges in a row.
Can you illustrate your expected result?
(You're not confusing it with the new Face Loop feature I just added? The new feature is accessed from the Tools menu. See comment over the first illustration.)

Yes I did confused that two features!
sorry. I like that feature. It saves me lots of clicks - and therefore it saves my mouse!

Got any suggestions for better names?
They do have all too similar names - no wonder it leads to confusion.Maybe the new one should be named
Select Edge Loops? -

Select Edge Loops?Yes, it's a better name. This one I think is a function that will be used very often, so why don't you make an icon for it instead of hiding it in Tools menu where is a little hard to find?
-
Yea - I might add a toolbar for this now. Good idea.
Thinking it might be worth making a UI to choose what items to display in the menus and toolbars. This plugin has gained quite a few commands through it's lifespan. -
Is this normal? Select Quad-face loop doesn't mean to select closed loop edges that form a quad? Or I misunderstood ?
This is what happened:BTW: I think you have an error on cursor code; Would you please take a look? ( as I know correct syntax is UI::create_cursor(cursor_path, x, y) )

Great tool. Thank you for sharing with the community.
After reading Daniel Tal's book I was thinking that a tool like this would be very handy.
Have you given any thought to trying to select like Blenders ring/chain command.

I've not used Blender - how does these functions work?
