[Plugin] Selection Toys
-
hi
now it runs...i reinstall su8 and copy the plugin seperatly in before i add my "backup-plugin" folder.^^
...for whatever reason...^^
-
hm... I heard some people talk about not getting any startup errors in SU8. Maybe you experienced that and did not get any notification about any errors that prevented the plugin to load.
Whatever it was, I'm glad it work for you now.
-
btw. thx for the help.
i don't want to miss your really great plugin which makes work so much easier.^^

I see a general issue. There's is a unins000.dat and unins000.exe in his plugins folder. What plugin is this for ?
These files should be in the specificplugin subfolder, or else the installer will be overwriting these files for subsequently installed plugins, and the original plugin can no longer uninstalled with these files.

Twilight Render, I assume. I mentioned the issue on the Twilight support forum, was told it's not a problem, and didn't follow-up.
Their installer need work anyway because when you install to a folder that is not the default - SketchUp 7 - none of the preset locations use the custom location and you need to change them manually.

It wouldn't be a problem if the file names were say, uninsTLR.dat and uninsTLR.exe; anything but the installer's defaults.

can someone give me a step by step idiots guide on how to actually use this?
I can get it to light an edge up orange. that's all. how do you select things with it?

See the first post for basic use.
Thomas has a link to a Command Cheatsheet also in the first post.(ThomThom is in Norway, so it was the middle of his night when you posted... he'll answer... be patient. He's an SCF moderator, and checks in several times a day.)

erm. I did?
and I don't see how to use it. sorry.. I mean, do I select the group then...what? the most I've got is an orange outline and nothing selected. so I'm doing something wrong...
this is what I mean by step by step and ... be patient? I asked once and waited...?
-
Khai, what are you trying to select? What function are you trying to use?
-
well I want to use it.... and I don't get any selections whatever I try.. so I thought I'd ask for help..
I did read the first post and sorry guys. there are no instructions there. you may see 'em but I don't..
just boil it down for the terminally bewildered? so I select a group and say I want to select a row of faces I....? or I want to select a ring of edges I....?

Quick video below, you can enable/disable context-click options from the UI Settings in the Selection Toys menu.

thank you that really helps
tho somethings not working right - selecting N-gons does not work at all... and I know there is some.. I can see them...!
-
What function are you trying to use?
-
Select Ngon
-
Select Only -> Polygons?Note that
Select OnlyandDeselectmodifies your current selection - doesn't add to it. -
that's exactly what I'm doing.
select the model, then Select Only -> N-Gons and nothing is selected, even tho I can see Ngon's.to clarify :

Better if you post your SKP file
