Select Construction Points - inside groups

cmeed

Hello All
Is there a way to select everything and then only select construction points. So when I say select everything - all my geometry is neatly in hundreds of groups within groups etc.

I used 'pipe along path' many times and forgot to turn the cpoints off (although they were extremely helpful for placing etc so I kind of needed them) I went to take a quick 'Plan', I zoomed out and realised my mistake, when all the cpoints are noticeable and detract from the main information I need to convey

so I would like to put them on new layer and be able to turn them off.

or

is there a visual setting ?

cheers in advance

Yes, with Thomthoms selection tools, but only for the curent context.

Yes, uncheck "Guides" in the view menu, cpoints are guides too.

Great thank you.

So no plugin that can dig into groups?

Do you really still need those cpoints? Why not just use edit>Delete Guides and get rid of them altogether?

Cotty - So After years and Years of using Sketchup I never knew about view menu-guides! ---- DOH!

I set up a keyboard shortcut for Edit>Delete Guides. Once they've done their job, it's silly to keep them as they just clutter the drawing space. And just making them not visible by editing the style isn't a solution because you have to turn them back on when you need to use guides the next time.
