Hi Fredo! I have just now the opportunity to use and appreciate this fantastic plugin... Is it possible to add a Face-HoverSelect mode? Let me try to explain: I often import model from other CAD formats converted in 3ds, so I have a faceted model, no any circle/rect/curve/etc. In order to create sub-groups and/or adding material/color specs to them, I need to select ANY single face one click by another: terrible. Using the selection rectangle, unwanted results occour... If I can hover-select faces, instead, I can group and color them quickly. Do You think You can add this function or maybe create a dedicated plugin?
Thank You very much and many, many, many compliments for your great works!!!

Not totally sure, but I think there exists some plugin doing that, possibly Thomthom's Selection Toys.

Maybe some other forum contributors know the options.

This issue still remains. Mac OSX El Capitan 10.11, Sketchup 2015.

Same here: also Mac OSX El Capitan 10.11, SU Pro 2015. This is a plugin I would use a lot if it worked properly on Mac OS.

...no... I have tested many plugins (including thomthom selection toys): all performs either a "filter" or a "search", but no one acts like the eraser tool, which effectively is what I need... thanks anyway to You and to all the plugins developers: You made Sketchup special!!!
