      Hi again i notice my Comment is not showing up in forum is there a problem
      (ive posted like 2 post a day ago in threads and it does not appear)

      First of all
      Im a fan of using keyboard than The buttons toggling
      because i find shortcut keys is more fast productive
      and im sorry for many questioning if this is answered in other thread

      Question 1 :
      is it possible to add shorcut key for toggling on/off of snap unit increment in SketchUp?
      because going to Model Info Dialog box just to turn off and On is not productive at all

      Question 2:
      im also looking for toggle Cycle between Wire frame and Solid .. all i find in shortcut is Xray
      because sometimes i just want to quickly select Edge lines not the face and i find wireframe is much convenient to use

      Question 3:
      Is there a Reselect Selection if selection is quickly snap out or mistaken

      Question 4:
      im looking for Explode All Group that become nested or piled because i had of habit where i nested them and i explode all the way until it return to non group

      Question 5: Im looking for this Tool :

      http://i.imgur.com/AZWBKVP.png

      In Blender i Loop Cut > Bevel it and it becomes this

      In SU typically i just Divide it .. then Redraw the lines and use Knife Tool then create 4 groups of rectangle and place it center line you cut then retrace it again ( knife tool )

      but i like quick like the image above cause sometimes when model becomes complicated it will be time consuming

      Thank for Reading , time and answering

        I don't know the answer to this one but I guess not natively... maybe a plugin.

        It's not possible to assign a toggle for that. It is possible to have a shortcut like "W" for wireframe and "SHIFT+W" for other face style. You can define shortcuts in Window > Preferences or if you're on a MAC Sketchup > Preferences

        There is a toogle that might be useful to use to that purpose wich is "K" for backedges on/off. It's what I use as it avoids faces most of the time and you can reference back stuff on the fly.

        There's a plugin that does this though I never used it. I don't know if it's 2013/2015 compatible...

        There are also plugins for that around here. If you want to do that without plugins, best way would be through outliner.

          About Q1 :
          i hope that theres a way to toggle in and off because its pretty handy combining with
          ( Toggle units Plugin )

          About Q2 :
          ah yes i know that but im saving up keys anyway and i want to toggle it by using 1 key only in most of 3d Program i use X for toggling Cycling i just had muscle memory where
          i really cant assign 2 keys for solid and wireframe i tried it but icant adapt it

          About Q3 :
          Still looking for this ... Reselect is a must i just dont know why Undo Command doesnt detect the previous selection

          Q4 ( Is Solve )
          im using Explode To Groups By TIG ( thank you )

                you only need to assign a shortcut to the the precision +- pair...

                learn from the mistakes of others, you may not live long enough to make them all yourself...
