[Plugin] Selection Toys

acheilman

The methods above did not seem to work. "reverse face" is in the dialouge box already as an option to apply a shortcut, but selection toys only has options to create shortcuts for the UI Settings, Edge Loops, And Cheat Sheet. Apologies if I am missing something

Works for me, did you have a face selected before opening your preferences?

Is Selection Toys working with Sketchup 2015 for you guys?

At Preferences, it shows there as loaded.

But I get no toolbar, no right-click context options, no submenu either at Extensions nor Tools...

What version do you have installed?
(Yes - it works in SU2015)

funny, I could swear I had written a post regarding a topic somewhere else where a guy had a problem with Selection Toys and you answered him, and the problem seemed to be his username had a Unicode character.

and yes, my username has a Unicode Character. (the username is AcesHigh, but for some reason, the windows path is user/usuário instead of user/aceshigh

And I have no idea how to change the user path without breaking Windows into an unusable mess.

thomthom

Ah! Damn! That thing... achk. Yea, renaming your windows username is not ideal. hmm... This might be fixable. But I won't have time until next week to look at this.

EDIT: Just checked my latest changes to this extension - the latest one (2.3.9) was specifically to address unicode issues. Can you please confirm which version you have installed?

thomthom

Doh! You got it from PluginStore, right?
I just realized I'd forgotten to hit Publish when I was updating the extension - so it was still version 2.3.8 that was available in the PluginStore.

Just updated it - try that one.

AcesHigh

yes, it was 2.3.8

thanks ThomThom. Anyway, there are a few other plugins that are giving me errors too since Sketchup moved its plugin folders to appdata.

so I will try to change my username profile path following this tutorial

Hey there sir Thom, this is highly off-topic, but whats the plugin that divides a box into segments like here on this pic?
Well, I take it you didn't do it by 'hand', manually..

Thanks!

thomthom

No plugin for that - I just copied and pasted.

hi there together...

i have a suggestion for a real good addition to this plugin

SELECT EDGES WHICH ARE PARALLEL

why would one need that?! after importing a cad drawing where the hatch is exploded and oall of the lines happen to be on one layer

could be really handsome

thanks for your consideration on adding this option

EDIT
jim has answered my request here with a simple one liner

Now using 2.3 nothing happens on mac. Any one here with same issues on mac?

I see no error in the console nothing

I just checked it on my Mac. It works for me. Are you sure you're using it correctly? Try making a cube, select it all by dragging a selection fence around it. Then click the green Edges button in the toolbar. Does it change the selection to only the edges?

There are many functions on Selection Toys - can you elaborate on what you do and how you do it?

Hi,

I am having problems with loading Selection Toys. I am using Sketchup 2016 on Windows 10.

Any tip for solution?

Thanks

Dave R

It appears it has to do with the accented characters in your username. Which version of Selection toys are you trying to install?
