[Plugin] Selection Toys
-
i see, interesting.. though i never experienced Rick's behaviour (i don't usually have many apps running in the background)
certainly i never saw an item re-appear.. would be nice to have a confirmation from google about ruby limits..seems to mean that if selection toys (for example) had less items the problem might temporarily disappear..
i think the 'new-spot-the-clash-finder-ruby-please', if at all possible, would have to come from google.

I'll make a deubg version for you, though, it'll have to be next week. I'm going away for a small trip.

it's rather an impossible task. first you have to know what the "clash" is. Meaning you have to know exactly how everything is expected to work. can't see you can program that...
-
no hurry, enjoy your trip Thom..

I have the same problem as CADfather had...
I only use SU6, checked every plugins and found the problem in this script (Version1.12.0), It didn't happen before in lower versions.
just after some open&close group action, the bug occurs, right-click menu Grey-out...
so if you have any thing need me feedback, don't hesitate to tell me! -
Here's a debug version with the layer filters removed. Can the people that has experienced problems with the menu's try this and see if that solves the matter.
-
Right on!
EDIT: seems to be working now.. i need to spend more time with it but the early signs are good.. Thanks Thom! (now you can go..)
-
I will try this version, if I have a problem I will feedback!
-
Hi Thom, wherever you are i confirm that it's working now - played for about an hour with a complex model and had no problems!!
Thanks

Ok. It must be the number of dynamically created menus per layer that causes some kind of issue. I'll disable that feature and try to report it as a SU issue/bug.
-
Updated the plugin - an update that actually removes the layer filter features added in previous versions.
Seems that there might be issues with SU and too many menu items. The layer filters added two menu items per layer - something which quickly adds up. Not sure if it's an SU issue or Windows limitation, but removing this feature seem to clear up the reported issues.Sorry for the inconvenience.
-
Thank you Thom - this is one fine plugin..
-
Cheers.
I hope that I get the time at some point to rewrite it so the selections can also work as tools where you add/remove to the current selection. Letting you combine selection filters better. Though I'm not sure yet what the interface would be. I'm quite tempted to draw my own toolbar/menu/icons on the screen - inspired by Fredo's tools.
But at the same time I want to keep the plugin's current ability that you assign hot-keys to various filters. ...maybe some kind of macro system... Not really sure. It's a thinker. -
what i can saying? thanks!
-
Great work Tom!
I didn't have time to read through all the 9 pages of this thread (
)....so I'll bluntly post my question: Does the plugin work in SU6?
I ask this because 'dynamic components',a typical SU7 feature, is part of the selection toys plugin... -
It should work, yes. The DC filters simply checks the DC meta data stored in components, and that can be read in SU6.
-
Thanks Thomas!
-
Yes it works well this version, I used it for a few days, and the grey out problem never happens again!
Thanks, Thomas -
cool plugin!
Thanks -
New selection tool to select a face's loops.

Big speed improvement for most selection functions. Noticeable when dealing with large selections.
Some functions are yet not optimized. I need some more time to ensure they work as they should. These are mostly functions related to connected geometry.
