[Plugin] Selection Manager

Gaieus

Sounds great, thanks!

...I was very surprised that there was no such plugin yet...

Well, actually there is one (more exactly two versions of it, a free and a commercial):
http://www.smustard.com/script/SelectionMemory
and
http://www.smustard.com/script/SelectionMemory2

But now yours seem to somehow compete with the commercial plugin.
(so downloading it quickly in case you revoke it)

Ah, I was aware of SelectionMemory, but only being able to manage one selection set kind of defeated the point. I didn't know the second one, but it doesn't say if it can save them in the model, and I don't exactly like the UI -- Glad I didn't waste my efforts

Haha, don't worry, that won't happen Seeing tools like TOS, EBBy* and co being free, I won't charge for something as simple as managing selections

Gaieus

Nay, that was just a joke of course.

Anyway, probably your plugin is different so those are just "similar" in concept then. Also, they are fairly old plugins and though I do not know much about scripting, I know that many things are possible now that were not in the past.

I love it. Thank you very much for this plugin. I missed it too much. This plugin means end of frustration cause by incidental deselection during my work.

I was not able to find out why saving or loading from model does not work. I saved the selection, saved model in SU8 and then I close and open the model. Then I checked the Manager menu but nothing loaded. I select Load selection from model, but still nothing happened (no sub-menu generated). Do you know if loading (after the file was closed and opened again) works in SU8?

Hi there! I installed the selection manager on my SU 2017 but no menus are displayed, so I can't use the tool like many have sucessfully done! Please help!

You access the plugin by right clicking entities then choosing Selection Manager. (Right click = context menu)

Hi!
When you create a selection set, then delete entities included in the set, then undo that deletion, the memory of selection is cleared, even though the geometry "came back" to your model.
But it's a very nice extension, anyways. Thanks a lot
