      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?

                Please pardon the intrusion.
                Fossa is talking about Blender's loop subdivide feature.
                One can invoke a loop around the target geometry and, with the scroll wheel, increase or decrease the number of loops. This is usually used on narrow, elongated solids. The command first sets the initial loop at the midpoint of the target region, and then replicates/multiplies that loop as the scroll wheel is advanced or reversed. This is very similar to the Sketchup Divide command, which only works on edges.
                After observing by using your Selection Toys and Fredo6's Tools on Surface plugins, I am guessing it's gonna be either you or he who will finally implement this in Sketchup. The clue may be in whatever SU is doing in the Divide command.
                I believe there is a Blender video tutorial on loop subdivide at gryllus.net, though I haven't been there in a while.

                I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                  reat tool, thankyou.

                  would it be possible to select loops in the other direction, without faces (rings)?

                    I have been looking into that - but I've found it hard to reliably select - determine the path for the edges to select.
                    Other applications which has this feature seem to operate with quads, but not SU.
                    Got some ideas I'll try out - but at the moment I'm working on V2.0 and I just recently managed to loose the work I did so I have to redo it all over again. Any attempts for the ring select will be after the V2.0 release.

                        I was replying to xrok1.
                        I'm still not 100% sure about the feature you requested. If it's subdividing geometry then it sounds like it's another plugin by its self.
                        I think that fossa's request was similar to xrok1's - a pure selection tool.

                            Thomthom,
                            Do you have a solution for this problem (like your select similar groups, but that selects consecutively named components and replaces them with just a single instance) it's a really unique need, so not sure if it's worth your time... 😒

                                      * Fixed issues when comparing floating values. Affected Area select.
                                      * Fixed group parent bug. (Again!)
                                      * Converting groups to components now transfer all but glued_to property and attributes.
                                      * Completed selection speed optimization.
                                      * Select Active Instances only selects hidden when View Hidden is on.
                                      * Improved Select Opposite Face.
                                      * Added selection filter Section Planes.

                                      Glad you guys like it.

                                      I got an idea for an improved Selection Filter tool. On screen UI - inspired by Fredo's tools. I just had to get this version 2.0 done first - making the preparations. 😉

                                      Personally I use mostly the Edge and Face filter, occasionally Group and Component. They are all assigned to Ctrl+1 to Ctrl+4. I have found no point in adding shortcuts for the rest of the types - as I rarely use them so I never remember the shortcut. Also, there isn't enough keys on the keyboard for them all. Thats why I'm planning on adding an on-screen filter palette which pops up under the cursor for quick access. It should allow for the user to select multiple types of entities to select/deselect.

                                            When it comes to cookies and beer and pretty omnivore.
                                            Though cookies that often rank high has chocolate in them.
                                            As for beer, I drink mostly anything except white/blond beer. In fact - it's a particular hobby of mine to sample new brands of beer. I often go by the name or illustration on the bottle.

                                            I remember sampling that - though I have trouble recalling my verdict...
                                            I just got myself a book with index of beer from around the world, going to write up my notes as I traverse the pages. 😄
