[Plugin] HoverSelect - v1.5a - 07 Oct 17
-
From what I can tell, this is a tool for edge selection only.
I could sure use a Hoverselect Only Faces as a way to select faces exposed to the camera. Otherwise, you box select every thing in the box from here to the horizon, then you have to unselect the stuff on the other side of the mesh that you discover after orbiting the model.
One good use for a Hoverselect face tool is to then apply Joint Push Pull to those selected faces. -
So... this is not a good idea?

It is...
I may end up doing it in my redesign of HoverSelect

Hey Fredo,
Any news on the addition of a lasso selection tool? Would be super handy...
Many thanks for all your hard work

To include all edges, you have to use the Shift modifier (pressed or in toggle mode). The green rectangle border gets thicker and the hidden edges are highlighted.Fredo

Thanks
I see -
Script doesn't work for me, I mean it doesn't select anything. I have the menu, i can "use" the selection tool, but it doesn't select any edge. Compatibility issue with SU8 maybe?

Hi Fredo and thanks for the plugin!
I have translated the plugin to Spanish language this is the file: -
Just started using Sketchup - this plugin is an absolute must! Thank You!
-
I have pretty much the same problems as Dereeei (see above): when I activate the plugin and click-hover on edges nothing get selected.
What's worst, in rare occasions it works, it seems mostly after having performed a rectangle select action.
What works flawlessly is the click-on-face selection, but that's the less useful feature because for what I understand it pretty much replicate the native double-click Sketchup funcionality.
Could someone please help me make this great plugin work?
Cheers! -

Just in case, did you check the edge property filter? By default, HoverSelect does not select Smooth edges (even if they appear as plain edges). But you can change the filter.

I thing filters are correct (all four button pressed); I can say it because when I disable some type of edges there's a forbid sign near the cursor while overing excluded edge types.
I made tests in a few different situations and models, but no luck so far.In case it matters here are all the plugins installed:
Chris's Shape Bender.
Didier's Projections.
Diggory's Recurve.
Fredo's Bezier Spline, Curviloft, Hover Select, Scale, Joint PushPull, Round Corner, Tools on surface.
ThomThom's Cleanup.I have Sketchup 8 running on Windows 7 64 bit, graphics card is Nvidia GeForce GT 525M (mobile).
Thanks for your great plugins and your help.

Fredo, is there hope you'll look into this issue?
Unfortunately selecting only edges without faces is a real pain in Sketchup... -

Hey Fredo, same problem over here on Mac OSX Snowleopard, Sketchup 8.0.11751 & LibFredo6 - v4.4m - 14 Apr 12
I see the menu but can't select anything, there is no selection rectangle either.
Thank you for everything you do
Ciao

Does this problem happen only with HoverSelect or all my plugins?
If so, this may come from a conflict with some other plugins (like some versions of Podium and Matchbox)

All your other plugins work like a charm on my machine Fredo, thank you for the update to the round corner and curviloft scripts earlier this year!
The hoverselect sounds like an amazing tool for speeding up more organic modeling approaches which require selection and scaling of splines, I would love to make it a part of my toolbox.
