        Thanks Fredo for this great effort, 👍 👍

        At my first try i notist that i could not deselect on a click the last selected line ,or reselect the last deselected line.
        Did i discover a small bug or is this behavour on purpose. 😕

        Thank you again for this plugin.

          At the risk of sounding like a spoilt child, would it be possible to make this plugin work with faces?

          Thanks for another very useful plugin, by the way.

              That was a small bug. Thanks for signaling. I fixed it in the version 1.0b, updated in the main post.

                I think this is mangeable for Faces (and actually for any type of entity, for instance group and components, or construction point).

                Also, I am looking is I can include a Rectangle and lasso selection. My idea is however to include in the selection edges which are:

                • visible from the view camera
                • being totally, but also partially in the rectangle.

                Fredo

                  Yes Fredo, Lasso and rectangle selection and being able to toggle between complete and partial crossing windows for selection would be absolutely brilliant. This would bring SU's selection tools a little closer to being on par with the rest of the 3D world. 👍 👍 👍 You're the man!

                    Fredo,
                    This selection script of yours sounds brilliant although I've not tried it yet.
                    ........
                    An idea If you do implement selection by rectangle........

                    An idea might be to devise the tool so that if users draw the selection rectangle from the North West corner to the South East corner of the screen (ie top left to lower right) then all geometry COMPLETELY inside this rectangle is selected.

                    If users draw the selection rectangle from the South East corner to the North West corner of the screen (ie lower right to top left) then all geometry INSIDE AND CROSSING this rectangle is selected.

                    Hope this makes sense.
                    Thanks very much for all your hard work and effort in devising this tool so far.
                    .................

                    Regards
                    Howard L'

                      Fredo,

                      I get a Bug Splat each time I try to open the PDF documentation. Sketchup quits, and give the Bug Splat, however the documentation does open.

                      However, thanks for this script. For me, I will find a great deal of use cleaning up models after Intersect with Model.

                      Again thanks

                      Ken

                          Nice Plugin Fredo
                          Thxs a lot
                          more control over selection is one thing SU was laking until now.

                          Would it be posible to make a ruby that selects multiple endpoints ?

                            If you use my other scripts, can you try with their documentation to see if you get a bugsplat too. I do nothing special (standard UI.openURL) and this may be an issue with your Sketchup configuration or PC environment.

                                Yes, I do get a Bug Splat when I open up your other documentations. I have other problems also, haven't been able to trace those down to any particular scrip or set of scrip’s. Therefore, I will just go about my way, remembering what not to do, and saving or archiving frequently.

                                Again thanks for all your effort in these plugins.

                                  Yes Fredo it would be nice to select multiple vertices instead of lines, so the we can modify them (rotate, scale, move, etc..) all at the same time.
                                  But i have never seen a ruby that does that. Is it possible?

                                    Just to clarify my possibly mistaken understanding of the conversation so far --

                                    This tool is about ONLY selecting the VISIBLE geometry, right? The above describes what SU already does, selecting ALL geometry inside in the first case, and ALL geometry even partially inside in the second case, including ALL geometry, including parts on the backside of the front object and parts that may be at a great distance.

                                    Howard Leslie is too modest when he says "An idea might be ..." Using the direction the selection rectangle is drawn as the way to toggle what is included should, of course, echo what SU already does. Anything else would be too confusing.

                                      New version **HoverSelect 1.1a**available, with some additional features, mainly:

                                      • Edge selection (and un-selection) via rectangle, by mouse dragging, for visible-only edges (but also for all edges, as in native Sketchup)
                                      • Configuration of the precision for picking edges
                                      • Options (modifiers and filter) accessible via a button palette (experimental). There are indeed also accessible via the contextual menu and shortcuts.

                                      see main post at http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=18916#p155058

                                          This is the next generation of UI in SketchUp!!!
                                          A lot better, quick, easy and more efficient than the webdialogs (and I assume that is also more compatible for macs).

                                          I make alternative icons and cursors for this plugin:

                                          Extract into Plugins\HOVERSELECT_Dir_11 and set this ones in "Tools>Fredo6 Collection>HoverSelect>Default Parameters...

                                          PS. The new Edge selection via rectangle dosen´t work inside groups (I mean double click on group to edit and then select the hoverselect).

                                            I made a try, but if this works and does not create too much interference, I'll try to extend to other scripts.

                                            For the button palette, unfortunately the buttons are not image files, but drawing with primitives. I have not found any method to draw png in the viewport.

                                            This is intentional. You can only select at the first level of the active model, as in Sketchup native. Anyway, you would have some problem with the selection, if you selected within a component or group.
