@Rich-O-Brien Yes and no. without copying Select Instances+Axyz works fine.
Maybe you with(?) Fredo could develop a new rock solid version of "select all instances"?
BTW many people request "select all instances" that would copy all instances regardless the context to the memory buffer. the 20 y.o. one that I use can't do that.

Sorry for the late answer, but.. did you try Selection Toys?
Selecti a single instance, right click and in the context menu go to "instances" and then you can choose if you want select "all" (regardless the context) or "active" (all instances in the current context).

@panixia its a major PITA in SU: none of plugins copies all instances (incl. ones out of context) to memory buffer

panixia

@rv1974 with selection toys you can select all instances at once, included the ones outside the current context and then copy, cut, delete move or do whatever you wanna do.

Edit. I tried right now and it looks that with a lot of components scattered across different contexts, they are pasted using their original group local transform instead of world transform. Even if you use "paste on place". Weird.

@panixia you can select, take a look at their properties, replace and delete but not copy to buffer - it always been broken

@rv1974 i mainly use that feature to select all group copies and convert them to components (whenever I copy something around by mistake without making it a component to begin with). Never noticed that behaviour.. not sure if the glitch is related to the plugin. Most likely is some problem with SketchUp itself and how it natively handles sub-components local transform. The plugin is probably "bruteforcing" the intended SketchUp behaviour (which is working INSIDE the current context).

@panixia I got a Jim's plugin made by my request which he removed from public later..When all instances stay selected, it creates an outer txt file with coordinates and transforms, and in the 2nd stage the plugin inserts all instances into "no context" based on this txt file. A bit tedious but already something.. Sometimes I'm too lazy and just throw the file to Max where all contexts are gone

@panixia curic true isolate + cleanup's delete hidden + undo do the trick

@rv1974 I'll check.. I don't know the Curic true isolate plugin..
