[Plugin] Selection Toys
-
Haven't tried Wings3D. But I'm always up to try new tools.
I've had some play around with the trial of Modo and I like some of the selection tools present there.
-
Yeah Modo looks sweet, kinda' reminded me of Blender,
you know the one you have to be a micro physicist.I will/can say, Wings3D doesn't do all that. It's just
a simple modeler/mesh manipulator.I presently use Strata for rendering. Although, I
haven't had to do much rendering of late.SU has definitely made things easier for me, I thought
I was going to be stuck with Wings, until I stumbled
across SU. -
ThomThom: I downloaded the update on your "selection toys".
After a while my right click selection tools grey out and
I cannot select anything. Never had this problem so I took out
the plug-in and things worked fine.This might be a conflicting with another plug-in I have
but the version I had before didn't cause this problem.
Not sure which version it was. might be simple to add the
version # to the .rb when you update.Not sure if anyone else is having this issue.
Thought you would like to know. -
HM.. that's odd. I'm not actually sure you you mean either when you say "right click selection tools grey out".
You get no right-click menu? -
By the way Kyprus: if you have the Ruby Console open and that thing happen, do you get messages then?
-
I get a right click menu but most of it greys out when
I know they should be there.Yes, I have a ruby console. Not sure why. I haven't had
the time nor patience to figure it all out. I'll place
the plug-in back in the proper directory and see if there
is anything in the console.I did have to use the plug-in. so, I placed it back
into the plugins directory, I forgot about it and it
happened again. but once I deleted it out of the directory
re-started SU all was fine. This doesn't happen right away.
it takes time for it to arise. but, it has happen twice
but solved when I delete the .rb . (this was earlier today/
last night).But I will see if anything is in the console next time.
-
Please let me know if you get any messages in the console. I've not yet seen that behaviour. As you say, it could be conflicting with another plugin which I might not have installed.
Also, could you take a screenshot when it happens?

-
I believe I might have sorted out the disabled menu problem.
Would you mind testing the plugin for me to see if it's sorted for sure? Send me a PM with your email. -
thomthom: Apologies for not getting that screenshot to you.
I just haven't had the time.I downloaded the the new version I'll put it in today
and give it a run. Thank you.My email is kyprusplacid [at] g.mail dot com . I have gtalk.
so, once you send me an email you will be on my IM.
we can talk then, if you have gtalk. -
email sent

This is the screenshot of the app., with the grey-out
on the right-click tools.http://picasa***.google.com/kyprusplacid/SU?authkey=yW_XtO3TIMw&feat=directlink
There was nothing in the Ruby console.
Not sure if I'm suppose to type something
in there or not to get feedback. Nore
would I know what to type.Guess this isn't much help.
this is with the new update by the way. -
No worries. I saw it myself when I used the plugin quite a bit. I did some changes and after that it appeared to be gone. That's what I'll be sending you tomorrow.
-
Updated with some important bug fixes to prevent bugsplats.
A couple of extra select variations added. -
By request http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=16665, added filters for entities with Default material.
-
Cool, thanks Thomas!
-
Thxs Thomas this plugin is a must
-
Added selection methods for Dynamic Components. Same as regular components, except it allows you to select by DC family.
-
Fixed an issue where the DC menu would not appear if there was only one instance of the DC variant.
-
Does your selection tools, or is it possible in general, to select an adjacent edge after selecting a single edge in an exploded curve? then the next and so on by clicking (with your 'tool' selected) arbitrarily rather than finding little edges, zooming in clicking, paning clicking etc - finally the curve is completely selected or as much of it as you want, you can use weld.
this would help with complex models and tight spaces.
