[pilou]

Hi All,

I wonder if anybody else is experiencing it, but this plug-in don't work for me when I use it with SU 2014. Previously in SU8 with select face toggled on even if I triple click a model only face would be selected as expected but for SU2014 edges are included in the selection.
I hope this gets resolved, as its been a real helpful plugin for me.

I have experienced the same results. Works perfectly in SU8 but fails in SU2014 with no errors reported in the Ruby Console.

Until then, you can use Thomthoms selections toys as an alternative for this task.

The code

edges=sel.grep(Sketchup;;Edge); sel.clear; sel.add edges

works in SU2014 but causes a stack error that crashes SU8.

on mac both

sel=Sketchup.active_model.selection
edges=sel.grep(Sketchup;;Edge).to_a; sel.clear; sel.add edges

sel=Sketchup.active_model.selection
edges=sel.grep(Sketchup;;Edge); sel.clear; sel.add edges

work in v8 and v2014

Apparently my v8 is different because it still crashes with that addition.

my test file had less than 2000 edges so is it a limit?

No I was using a small sample consisting of 3 or 4 faces.

I did find a solution that works in both SU8 and SU2014 and that was to remove the observer before processing the selection and add it back after while using the selection processing code previously posted.

	def onSelectionBulkChange(selection)
		Sketchup.active_model.selection.remove_observer self
		get_selection_edge(selection) if(@select_edge)
		# get_selection_edge_smooth(selection) if(@edge_smooth)
		get_selection_face(selection) if(@select_face)
		Sketchup.active_model.selection.add_observer self
	end

Hi Sdmitch,

Sorry but can you post the fixed plugin in here? I am confused as to where to put the selection code.

thanks

The script selects the line or face.

The first icon >> click on it - and only the lines stand out >> again click on it >> disables script

The second icon >> click on it - and distinguished only by persons >> again click on it deactivates the script >>

@Claus,

if you open the file in notepad++ and find and replace...

if you have the original version

 sel.each

to

 sel.to_a.each

or if you have sdmitch [faster] version

sel.grep

to

sel.to_a.grep

this works in v2015 for me...

thank you for this tool im using it right now

if its possible to request
add shortcut keys with toggling selection tool

right now when paradigm or changing between tools i need to hit ( Face Select > Spacebar ) or ( Edge Select > Spacebar )

i think its more convenient in one keys
like for example if hit X key it will also toggle the selection keys

similar to other 3D software
