[Plugin] Selection Toys
-
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.

cNot currently. But it's something I have on my todo list.

it would make a nice accompaniment to the weld tool.

Hey Thomas
,Native Selection tool of SketchUp is at the same time so powerfull and so poor. Your "Toys" increase incredibly its possibilities. I have had not to use those, concerning selection with components or groups for now but,
The idea of your "Select Loop" is really amazing (and time saver)! I like it a lot
But more and moreover what seems especially important to me is your "Selection Modifier" : which makes possible to make a new selection into an existing selection. Since the beginning i'm using SU, i think it's something which definitively misses as a native option !!!!
Here with this work, I discover you as a masterclass rubymaker

Reorganized the menu item for the selection filters. Now split into one
Select Only->...andDeselect->....
The list of filters where getting too large, so I felt it was better to split them. Sorry to anyone who might have to reassign their hotkeys.Added support for dimension objects and images.
Added support for soft and smooth edges.
Added support for hidden entities.
Added extended support for selecting faces; parallel, perpendicular, opposite and by area.

very good job thomthom
minor suggestion: consider adding a 'Deselect All' option for the Tools or Plugins menu, found this handy to assign to a keyboard shortcut to quickly get rid of the selection.
def self.deselect_all Sketchup.active_model.selection.clear end -

That's interesting... no Deselect All function built in to SU.
I'll include it for the next release. Thanks for the tip. -
Its already there. edit->select none or ctrl+t by default.
-
CTRl+T deselect current selection...
-
Is the deselect not Edit\Select None (CTRL+T)?
-
heh
then it's not included in the next release -
Thanks, thomthom:
I will check this out. -
thanx thanx and thanx again tomtom...
I've been read this tread but thought that it wouldn't be needed .... but recently i'v recieved a file that is done by someone that really is textured badly ( i mean it is textured to groups, not faces inside them) and is using lots of similar group instead of component, ... so your job is really time concuming and worthy ....

Another small update:
- Optimized code that's using
.typename - Added Select Face Same Direction
- Added workaround for SU bug where group definition references becomes corrupted.
- Optimized code that's using
