[Plugin] Selection Toys
-
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

sorry cannot do that, it's copyrighted work that will be for sale, and it's not just the mesh in the image above.
-
Polygon and N-Gon refer to entities where the Entity Info display Polygon.
-
erm... pardon?
ok I must be being dense... that made no sense at all?
-
In fact i believe this N Gon function shown only figures who are made with the tool "Polygon"
And not geometric figures that you can see as Ngons -

When you select something in SU, the Entity Info window will say what type it is - all the filtering is based on these types.

I can make so sense why you would not have a
Selection Toysmenu item under tools and various Context Menu entries (which depend on what you right-click)I was about to ask if you'd checked the Preferences for Selection Toys, but if you have not menu... I'm really stomped.
Can you post a screenshot of your Tools menu?
Hello Thomas!
It happens with me also! You can see a screenshot here

I see all posts but I can't resolve the trouble.
apologies for my bad english...
Thanks -
Check the Tools menu.
Tools -> Selection Toys -> Enable Toolbar
then after you do that - check the menu you showed in the screenshot. -
Version 2.2.1
- Fixed Select DC Instances

Sorry - I forgot to include a file. Redownload.

It was working in V7, but I can't get Sel Toys working in V8. Feeling stupid for a number of reasons.
My configurtion of Sel Toys:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Google SketchUp 8\Plugins\TT_Lib
C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Google SketchUp 8\Tools\TT_Select_ToysAfter SU8 re-start:
no context picks for Sel Toys
no pick for Sel Toys in Tools menu drop down -

There should be
C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Google SketchUp 8\Plugins\TT_Lib\ - (inside, lots of .rb files)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Google SketchUp 8\Plugins\tt_selection_toys.rb
C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Google SketchUp 8\Plugins\TT_Select_Toys\ -
OK. Thank you. I thought that since it is accessed by the tools menu..., but thinking is not my strong suite.

You must enable it from Tools->Selection Toys->Enable Toolbar before it appears under View->Toolbars->Selection Toys.
While the install didn't seem that clear to me, I didn't notice many install problems in the thread, so likely I am being thick. Perhaps because I assumed it was different than the norm when it is not. (Is the download count related to this, only 141 for such a useful tool? Or is that count only since the last update or somehow not reliable?)
Thanks, again.
-
Since last update - there's been thousands of downloads all together of the previous versions.
With my more recent plugins I've started to add more detailed descriptions of how they should be installed.
-
I will remove and try to re-install as now for me under Tools, there is no 'Selection Toys'; and so not surprisingly, under View->Toolbars there is no 'Selection Toys'. After entity pick, context menu does not show sel toy choices.
Folders TT_Lib and TT_Select_Toys are both in Plugins, as is file tt_selection_toys.rb.
