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

And you have version 2.3.11?

Can you type in this into the console:
TT::Plugins::SelectionToys::PLUGIN_VERSION

coulteri · 7 Nov 2016, 12:56

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.

perishknight · 30 Jun 2017, 19:28

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.

I can't seem to be able to customise the UI. In the UI Settings, under Tools, the UI settings has a little lock icon beside it.

Any ideas?

The intended UI cutomization is done by selecting or deselecting entries in the sections below that line. You can select what entires appear in the Context menu and toolbar. I don't believe Thom Thom intends for you to make settings in that area.

trad3mark · 1 Feb 2018, 19:07

Hmmm that's a pity. I wanted to have a bunch of them with keyboard shortcuts, but i guess that's not an option considering they don't show up in the shortcuts menu in preferences.

Dave R · 1 Feb 2018, 19:10

They'll show up in the Keyboard shortcuts if you have something selected so they'd show in the Context menu just like adding keyboard shortcuts for other Context menu items. Filter for Select Only.
