Zoom Selection
-
does anybody else finds that the great Zoom Selection does not work inside of groups?
-
Mine does.
JS Zoom Selected at http://www.pixero.com
-
even when the entities inside are selected (highlighted)?
-
It zooms into what ever is selected. As its name says.
What do you want it to do? Zoom into the unselected open group? -
I've got Jim's version, available from this forum, but it does the same thing...zooms to any selected faces in an open group.
-
if i select something inside of a group it does not work - but will fit the contents to screen if nothing is selected.
all i'm doing is edit geometry inside the group..
EDIT i take it open group means inside of it - what about comps?
[can't seem to replicate it now but when modeling complex stuff it always happens]

What do you mean with "It doesnt work" ? What do you want it to do?
If you are inside a group the group itself isn't selected.
My script zooms in to whats selected. Inside group or not. -
it happens especially with large models [most of mine are]
if i am inside a group and i select an entity, when i press zoom the selected entity is not zoomed to screen. if i deselect then the contents of the group will fit to screen
now that is strange right?
-
ok, this is what happens to the script: if i am inside of a group/component and 'hide rest of model' is on, zoom selection does not work. surely this must happen to everyone?
-
I've just tried it.
When Hide similar components is checked, it works fine.
When Hide rest of model is checked, it ignores the selected entity and zooms to the origin.
Must be a bug.
I guess we just need to select, then zoom, then hide. -
Unfortunately, we can't control "hide rest of the model" via ruby....
-
Oh !! I have found a script can control this function !! Thank you Jim !
Sketchup.active_model.rendering_options["InactiveHidden"] = !Sketchup.active_model.rendering_options["InactiveHidden"]The code is ready guys !

Sir Matt!!!

Dear Matt,
How does your script work?
Regards,

-
Thank you for the instructions.
-
Maybe my questions was not understandable.
I would like not to zoom all selected items, but to see them from the near with same distance, so that a door or a door handle is shown with same scale in the middle of the screen. Is that possible with »Zoom Selection«?
-
Hi N Lindenthal !
Ok I see ! I don't know if it's possible. I will see. -
-
Matt, a couple of bugs i think - when i am inside a group and i select a face, SU zooms to the face but hides all other geometry inside the group (!) - second (even worse) is that after i zoom, i can't do anything: the cursor is the selection tool but it actually doesn't work..it's in some kind no tool suspension. thought you'd be glad to know!
