[Plugin] Selection Toys
-
With the plugin, you should just right click on one instance and go to Instances > Select all or active (it can select instances even inside other components/groups)

Hi Dave -
Yes, that would work. Thanks for the tip. I haven't used the component library to browse components in my model very much, so I wasn't aware of that function.
Gai - that's exactly how I'm trying to use the plugin, to no avail. I'm stumped.
-
FWIW, Csaba's directions work for me but using the Components tool on the Selection Toys toolbar doesn't seem to do anything.

Can you provide a sammple model and/or video?
Any errors in the Ruby Console? -
Maybe I'm using it wrong Thomas. I've tried selecting a component which I know has more than one instance. Then I click on the tool with the two green boxes. Nothing changes. I've tried getting the tool first and then clicking on a component. Nothing different there, either. I'll send you an example model though.

That button is to filter the selection.
To select similar instances, use the context menu.
-
Thanks Thomas.

I get no error message, but the context menu doesn't seem to do anything for me. I'll check the console next time I try.

Can you describe more specifically the steps you are doing? And what you have pre-selected etc?
-
In the model, I have 420 instances of a single component.
I select one of the instances, and right click.
Under the "Instances" context menu, I choose "Select All".
What I want to happen, is that all 420 instances of this component to be selected. In my case, nothing happens. Nothing posts to the console. Am I trying to use it correctly?

Can you post or send me a sample model?
-
Really useful stuff!
TT, Thank you so much!

Here's a sample model. I can't get the selection toys plugin to select all the instances of either component. I'm pretty sure that there is something simple about operating this plugin that i'm missing.

I tried both
Instance -> Select ActiveandInstances -> Select Alland both of them worked...
-
(Okay, so this was when I got stumped for losing my toys.)
Now I am fine and I also tried and can select all or active instances with no issues.
-
Strange. I wonder if I have an obscure conflict with other plugins that doesn't result in an error message, but which prevents selection toys from operating normally. Is such a thing possible?
I'll scrub through my plugins and see if it works when it's the only plugin installed.

It would be very odd.
And you are sure you have the latest version..?
-
I don't know what happened, a few days ago everything was fine, but this mornig I opened Sketchup and I got this message"
"Error Loading File tt_selection_toys.rb
no such file to load -- TT_Lib/ui_manager.rb"
I have the latest updates for TT_LIB2 and TT_SELECTION_TOYS .I can't see a file called ui_manager.rb anywhere.
Has anyone an idea about what's going on?
