      You can also take a look at nz_ConvertMe, not free but won't break the bank either, I've used it and was satisfied.

        Thank you for the extension links.

        Even more elegant would be if "convert into groups" would be baked into Selection Toys.

        However, the much more important wish is in my previous post - to make Selection Toys able to filter for solids and nonsolids.

          Dear, I have problem with Selection Toys floating toolbar. I lost it when I dragged it to the edge of screen. Now I can use only menu on right mouse button. I tried to remove and reinstall the plugin but I still can't see the toolbar. I use SketchUp 2018 Pro at MacPro with High Sierra. Does anybody has the idea (trick) how to solve this problem?

            Do you have dual monitor? If so and you are only using one, then connect to a second monitor and then drag the entire toolbar into the first monitor,

              Thank you! I did it. I was using a tablet with video cable which was connected to computer. Computer detected the second monitor.

                Hi!

                I'd have a couple ideas for selection methods.

                One would be selecting edges by crease, which is SubD parameter - one could select only creased or non-creased edges or even the ones within certain crease range (0-1), for example: select only edges with crease value from 0.5 to 1. This would significantly improve subdivision modelling workflow.

                Another is adding "sharp edges" definition next to soft, smooth and hidden edges. I know this is achievable by reversing selection and subtracting faces from selection, but it adds a couple of extra steps. I'd gladly assign hotkey for selecting only sharp edges cuz I do it a lot.

                Filtering out solid groups/ components would also be a cool feature!

                  "Select (only)/ deselect stray edges" would be very useful too!
                  The definition of a stray edge would be the same as in Clean Up tools.

                    Hello,
                    Is this thread totally dead?
                    I was wondering if there's a chance of implementing my suggestions πŸ˜„

                      Bug report for SketchUp 2023

                      Convert Group into components behaves weirdly in SketchUp 2023
                      After converting:
                      Selected Group not immediately change to component in entity info
                      All copy group when selected is not shown in entity info when selected
                      as if there is no object selected, but it is selected in viewport (blue bounding box)

                      It also creates new exactly same item on the first copy ever created,
                      reulting in 2 object exactly the same, the group and the component

                        Convert group behaves weirdly.

                        1. Converted group when converted is not shown in entity info
                        2. All copy of the group, including those are not selected are converted to component
                        3. It creates a duplicate of the group on the first ever copy of the group ever created,
                          resulting in 2 exact looking object but 1st on is a group, the 2nd is a component

                            Hello how are you.
                            First, thank you for this great tool and the collaboration for everyone.

                            What is the difference between Border Edges and Selection Border?

                            You could add icons for Border Edges and Selection Border.
                            And so I can add it to the toolbar.

                            Select border.jpg

                            I also wanted to ask you, if you can add a new border selection tool with vertices.

                            Select border with vetex.jpg

                            If you can help me, I would appreciate it with all my heart.
                            Greetings.
