[Plugin] Selection Toys

coulteri · 31 Oct 2016, 05:56

Hi,

I tried this:

I removed selection toys from plugin folder
I started sketchup without selection toys installed
The prompt was still there (!?)

So I think it does not matter on your plugin
I have installed more plugins these days. There is word "eval" in the prompt - I have evaluation version of Artisan installed so this could be a problem (maybe).

Hm.. yea, it's quite likely other extensions also will run into problems.

As for Selection Toys. So it's installed and you see the menus? But the Settings dialog is blank?

coulteri · 31 Oct 2016, 12:18

I can use only menu on right mouse button.

UI settings window is blank.

I will try to make my computer name TT friendly in the future

There is no toolbar in the list of toolbars? And nothing under Tools > Selection Toys?

(If you keep the Ruby Console open when you try to open the UI settings window - is there any output then?)

coulteri · 31 Oct 2016, 15:06

When I enable Selection Toys toolbar from view/toolbars there are toolbars you can see on the left side of the picture.

Tool/selection toys / UI settings - calls blank window in the middle.

Tools/selection toys/ cheat sheet - looks fine.

Ruby console doesn´t contain anything.

thomthom · 31 Oct 2016, 16:28

Interesting. Ok - let me try to have another look at this.

thomthom · 31 Oct 2016, 19:18

I added an issue in the issue tracker: https://github.com/thomthom/SelectionTools/issues/1

thomthom · 31 Oct 2016, 19:30

Weeelll.... that's embarrassing. It turns out that the blank window is due to a bug. Where I previously tried to fix unicode issues. Not sure how I never noticed that before. But it doesn't even load on my machine. It's a quick fix though - hang on.

thomthom · 31 Oct 2016, 19:39

Ok - try using v2.3.11: http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=tt_selection_toys

coulteri · 2 Nov 2016, 18:49

Hi,

I am out of my office until the end of this weekend. I will try it after my return and let you know

Thank you very much!

Hi Thomthom. I've got the same problem with Coulteri. With the new version dialogue still remains the same.

Hi Thomthom. I've got the same problem with Coulteri. With the new version dialogue still remains the same.

Can you open the Ruby Console and enter these lines, one by one and then post back the result?


filepath = File.join(TT;;Plugins;;SelectionToys;;PATH, 'webdialog/ui_manager.html')

p File.exist?(filepath)

p filepath

p filepath.bytes

Hi,

I am back and have just tried newest version that works perfect and with no problems!

Thanks ThomThom!

@ludnid: what is your user path? I'm still confused by the byte array shows a different path than the error message...

thomthom · 8 Nov 2016, 09:48

If you right click on the blank window, do you get the option to View source?

(and if you open Ruby Console before opening the window, any output there?)

Sorry for the late response. I just figured I'll do the upgrade to 2017 seeing some of the new tweaks made to it. Selection Toys works like a charm now. Thanks Thom.

vlau2 · 28 Mar 2017, 19:15

Great tool! Is there a way to use the select faces by area for multiple selection of faces? So instead of individually selecting a face, I would like to select multiple faces and it would loop through each face and perform a selection of faces by area for each.

What I'm trying to accomplish is selecting multiples of the same balcony on a building. Unfortunately, the building model was not built with components in mind and it is all in one layer. The idea is that I would select 1 balcony of the building (which is made out of several faces) and use the select faces by area to loop through each face and select the other balconies on the building.
