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

All commands are also available from the toolbar.
Not sure which Loop method you refer to, but you got:
Tools -> Selection Toys - Select Edge Loop
and then you got the
Right-Click on Edge -> Select - Quad-face Loop
-
My Tools button in the program does not have a "selection toys" button as an option to select in order to enable it.
-
No Selection Toys under the Tools menu? that's very odd...
how/where did you install the files? -
ThomThom,
Is it possible to add an option to Select only "Outer Edges" and Deselect "Outer Edges"? Chris Fulmer wrote the code and mentioned in his post it may be better suited for your plugin.
Do you think a "Select Connected by Orientation" for edges would be possible? Basically I'm asking for a loop select for edges. I know you were looking into it, just wondering if it would ever be possible, or if there are too many variables present to make it feasible to code.
One other request, if doable, is a quad face loop select that would process multiple edges at once? I find this necessary if I am trying to select a quad loop on an extruded arc with multiple segments and multiple quad face loops. It would be nice to select one set of connected edges and select all their quad loops at the same time. Selection memory is a bit tedious.
Thanks again for the plug...I love the new toolbar. Definitely owe you several dozen Cookies!!
