      Ah - it's something to do with how it retrieves back the previous selections. What you are experiencing is probably that it retrieves an earlier selection set. Might be empty.

      There is five slots of selection sets - always - even when you start a fresh model. Keep cycle through and it will come back. I'll have a look at it. But this plugin isn't on top of my priority list.

        Ehm...I'm afraid not. Anyway this is what i do:

        • Draw a simple rectangle for example;
        • Select all (edges and face) with a left-->right window.
        • click anywhere to deselect;
        • run "cycle previous selection" and nothing happens.
          EDIT it's not working with right-->left selection either.

          Ah! That's maybe the reason. Thought that with a fresh model the "memory" would have been deleted.

            Well, it does - but there's a pre-reserved set of slots regardless. Which then are "filled" as you use it.

            The plugin was written very quickly so unfortunately it has this behaviour which is illogical from a user point of view. πŸ˜•

                  Version 1.0.1
                  Did a quick tweak to it. I believe it should retrieve the previous selection more predictably now.

                            Thanks bro for this great tool. I've always enjoyed having the selection in the undo stack with 3ds Max, now it's possible in sketchup as well! You deserve a chocolate fudge covered peanut butter chocolate chip cookie with oreo filling!

                                  You could add it to your already marvelous set of tools in 'selection toys'.

                                  That's it!
                                  I'm all out of keys on my keyboard for another shortcut for such a good tool. either I scrap some short cut I barely use, or I'll bump it up to them less used Shift+ and Ctrl+ shortcuts πŸ˜‰

                                    Buenos Dias.

                                    If I want to revert the "selection_stack size" to default which number would be; or by removing the plugin it will go back to default?

                                    Thanks.

                                      If you reinstall then it would revert back, yes.

                                            You'd have to open the RB file in a text editor and change it.
