[Plugin] Selection Toys
-
Thomas, shouldn't the Select Edge Loops icon in the Toolbar be a "Toggle button"...or add a "red" version of the icon to turn it off.
Currently, you can turn it on by clicking it but clicking it again wont turn it off. User has to manually select SU's Select Tool.

I also am thinking of other apps that make named lists, and you have to save and recall the selection through the list of named sets. But that seems difficult in SU to me I think. But maybe it would work. I supposed the list could be in a html dialog box and warn you if your selection set has changed wince it was created. And give the option to update the selection set, etc.
I was thinking of adding selection tacks to the On Screen tool. As you modify/filter the selection you take snapshots. Autonamed, but you can set your own custom.
YES!! please do.
one more thing if i may.
you know how if you use the eraser button everything you pass over highlights and if you select another tool before you let the button up... a selection toy like that would be great, i know there is:
but one that can select not just edges would be

Very good script thomthom.
Only i want to say what will be fantastic to add more functions to the loop selection tool,for the edges and faces. (i know it has been commented previously)
thank you very much for your script.
sorry for my bad inglish ;D -
you'll be getting a lot of cookies for this one.

Hi Thom, a late Thanks for this..
is there a chance of having the context menu items available as toolbar choices?
i can help with the icons if you need
cheers
-
The items for Group Copies and Instances?
-
yes, comps and groups is a first choice. of course i shortcut them, which works fine, but there are lots of others:
especially in the select submenu. -
I'll make note of that for the next version.
-
Thanks Thom, and if i can help with anything let me know.
-
Cheers. I'll let you know if I do. Currently I'm working on a new feature. Will do the toolbar once that's done along with some improvement to the tool's descriptions.

so ur saying read the instruction before posting random complaints?....

Me? I'd never!

I know it's a bit annoying to install additional files - but there was so much work put into the UI Manager that I wanted to be able to reuse it.
-
- Fixed bug in select_same_direction_faces, select_parallel_faces, select_perpendicular_faces, select_same_area.
- Fixed bug in Select Only / Deselect Soft / Smooth Edges
- Added Command Cheat Sheet.
- Moved from Plugin_Manager to TT_Lib
-
Nice update, thanks Thom
-
I downloaded the tt lib along with the selection tools file both that were both posted on the forum pgs. However, I am not able to get the selection tools toolbar in order to select the "loop" selection on the design program.
Can you please help guide me as to how to make that happen?

You must Enable it first -
Tools -> Selection Toys - Enable Toolbar@pghstone83 said:

All commands are also available from the toolbar.
Not sure which Loop method you refer to, but you got:
Tools -> Selection Toys - Select Edge Loopand then you got the
Right-Click on Edge -> Select - Quad-face Loop
