How to kill all faces in a model?

[chippwalters]

Or conversely, only select the edges? Thought there might be a plugin for this, but couldn't find one. TIA

ThomThom's Selection Tools? Find it in the Plugins Index above.

That's what I love about this place...post a message at 6:30 AM Sunday morning, and there's two answers waiting in short time! Thanks guys
Here's a couple images of an Aquarium Hood I'm building in SketchUp and will be printing out on Ponoko 3D printing and laser cut aluminum. These are the SketchUp models for them.

These are some 'one-liners' that manipulate selections etc - Copy+Paste into the Ruby Console + <enter>
To select just Faces and Edges in the active context

m=Sketchup.active_model;s=m.selection;s.clear;m.active_entities.each{|e|s.add(e)if e.class==Sketchup;;Face or e.class==Sketchup;;Edge}

To select just all Faces in the active context

m=Sketchup.active_model;s=m.selection;s.clear;m.active_entities.each{|e|s.add(e)if e.class==Sketchup;;Face}

To select just all Edges in the active context

m=Sketchup.active_model;s=m.selection;s.clear;m.active_entities.each{|e|s.add(e)if e.class==Sketchup;;Edge}

To select just the Faces and Edges in the current selection

m=Sketchup.active_model;s=m.selection;s.each{|e|s.remove(e)if e.class!=Sketchup;;Face and e.class!=Sketchup;;Edge}

To select just the Edges in the current selection

m=Sketchup.active_model;s=m.selection;s.each{|e|s.remove(e)if e.class!=Sketchup;;Edge}

To select just the Faces in the current selection

m=Sketchup.active_model;s=m.selection;s.each{|e|s.remove(e)if e.class!=Sketchup;;Face}

You can expand this idea to quickly select/deselect all manner of things
