      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:

                        http://sketchucation.com/forums/download/file.php?id=124357&t=1

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

                            For some reason, "Select Coplanar Faces" results some other parallel faces selected that aren't necessarily "Coplanar"?

                                The menu name is misleading - it's Same Direction instead of truly coplanar.

                                  Sorry, it is tested on windows 7 and sketchup 2014 (in different machines)
                                  Red circled face was the face that was used to execute "select coplanar face"

                                    So there's no bug. Just a naming confusion. it would appear that "Coplanar Faces" should read something like "Parallel Faces with Normals Facing the Same Direction". Select>Parallel Faces selects Parallel Faces regardless of the normal orientation.

                                      Perhaps 'CoNormal', rather than 'CoPlanar' ?

                                          This is by far the plugin I use the most. Does anyone know if there is a way to make hot commands similar to 3dmax or softimage for the selection toys. I know you can right click and get to the tool from there when you have a selection, but I do not see an option for a hot key in my preferences. I find myself wanting to press the 2 or E keys frequently.

                                            You can set up a shortcut to any native or plugin generated menu/context-menu command.
                                            But for that command to appear in the filtered list, then that command must be available when you open Preferences > Shortcuts dialog.
                                            So for example, if you want to shortcut 'Reverse Face' you must have a face preselected before opening the dialog, otherwise there will be no matching entry in the list.
                                            Pressing a shortcut key when the command is not available just does nothing.
                                            Remember you can assign the F-keys too, and keys in conjunction with modifiers like Shift/Ctrl/Alt
                                            Do not shortcut plain .,;[]<>/*- x s, TAB, plain-numerals, or the arrow-keys - as these are used by SketchUp and/or several plugins...
