[Plugin] Selection Toys

thomthom

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

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

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

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

thomthom

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

thomthom

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

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

coulteri

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

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

thomthom

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.

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.

Can a selection be expanded by type?
It's more intuitive to select 1 item type, for example text, images, dimensions, section planes, etc; and expand the selection.
Instead of the reverse, where you select all items and then filter it out.
