        Just rename the folder as .zip and then unzip it.

              There's already a native tool to do that.

                would be awesome if you could add a "select all connected" command ..

                As Dave mention that is a native function:

                ...or you can triple click.

                        All look at it when I get back from my vacation that starts now. I'll be gone for two week cycling - with little or no internet access.

                          Hi Thom,

                          This script helps me so much in my everyday work I have no words to thank you enough.

                          I'm writing, though, trying to solve a bug I just can't figured out where it came from. Although the script works for every type of selection, it no longer runs for LINEAR DIMENSIONS. Not via the toolbar, nor contextual menu.

                          I've tried reinstalling the plugin, updating the software (14.1.1283), but so far, that one remains "mute".

                          Has anyone faced similar problem?
                          Do you have any suggestions?

                          Thanks in advance.

                          Bruno

                            The exposure of dimension objects changed in the Ruby API for SU2014.

                            Do you have the latest version of of Selection Toys ?

                            I'm not here much anymore.

                              Ah, yes - new classes where introduced in SU2014. I'll have to fix that.

                                Fix live on EW. Found a couple of other small bugs that I need to fix in another update. Will post that soon and make sure to update on PluginStore as well.

                                  I have a selection question. I guess if any plugin can help me, it is this one. But I am not sure how. Maybe someone can help me.

                                  I have this model with many (non-quad) faces. And I would like to soften all the triangulation-edges so that I am left with seemingly quad faces.

                                  2014-08_HiddenEdges.jpg
                                  I guess the best way would be to soften everything, then select the edge loops and unsoften them. But I don't know how.

                                  Is it possible at all with this plugin?

                                  If yes, how?

                                  Any help would be appreciated.

                                  Cheers,
                                  Jakob

                                    It's unpredictable to try to determine the diagonals of pseudo-quads. I've tried but what is easy to our eyes is not easy to a script.

                                    How did you create that mesh btw? Several extensions have support for QuadFace tools. which will create what you want.

                                      I can't understand if and how I can use this plugin to select only edges delimiting holes inside a surface, rather than also external edges of the surface itself.

                                      For example, in this case:
                                      hole-example.png

                                      I want only this selection:
                                      hole-example-edges.png

                                        You might be able to select those edges more easily if you soften/smooth the surface first.

                                          Indeed! And then you could probably drag a selection box around the edges of the hole to select the edges. No plugin needed.

                                            This is only a small part of a very large model, it would take years to edit all holes by hand:

                                            That's why I'm looking for some automation.
