Select Default Front and Default Back not working?

Can't reproduce.

Saying that, as it works now, the edges also needs to have the same material for the Select Connected by Material to select the neighbouring face... Might have to revise this function. ...and I wonder why I haven't added one that doesn't select connected....

Another Bug; Select Edge Loops?

If after an edge loop is selected, then using the Layers Toolbar (PC) dropdown list to move the edge to a new layer does not work. Interestly though, using Entity Info to move the selected edge to a new layer does.

This is very odd. But it seems to be a Sketchup bug. I can't see anything in my code that'd do this. And as you say, the Entitiy Info works. I'll try to forward this to Google.

Hi!
What I really missinng is option to select all edges bitween "90 degrees faces" (the exact degree number should be ajustable)

Ah - took me a little while to understand this one, but being able to select edges where the angle between connected faces are larger than a given angle?
This would be something that filters an existing selection? Or make a new selection in the active space?

...being able to select edges where the angle between connected faces are larger than a given angle?..
-yes
...filters an existing selection?
-yes

good idea rv1974, kind of : "select string edges", useful for complicated shape

Selection Modifier
Selection Submenu - Currently there's two kinds of modifiers.
The explanations are a bit confusing for me... I have alot of experience in Electronic Radio Frequency / Broadcast Engineering, where Filters are a very important device. So when I think of Filters I think of them in that respect. See if you think I'm correct here:

@unknownuser said:

One filters out the type of entity you want.
This would be a 'Pass' filter?

@unknownuser said:

The other deselects the entity you specify.
This is a 'Reject' Filter? (also sometimes called a 'Trap' or 'Notch' Filter from the way the signal looks on a Spectrum Analyser.)

I think so ... from what I understood of that definition of filters... unfamiliar territory to me.

Never noticed this post.

I think it would be a useful tool for working with drawings imported from autocad.
drawings with many lines, could detect lines, what not intersect
