I have pretty much the same problems as Dereeei (see above): when I activate the plugin and click-hover on edges nothing get selected.

Hey Fredo, same problem over here on Mac OSX Snowleopard, Sketchup 8.0.11751 & LibFredo6 - v4.4m - 14 Apr 12

I see the menu but can't select anything, there is no selection rectangle either.

Thank you for everything you do

Ciao

This issue still remains. Mac OSX El Capitan 10.11, Sketchup 2015.

Recently discovered this plugin. It installs and the menu items are there but I am not seeing the toolbar. It's turned on in the settings for the tool. I'm on SU 2017.

[edit] Clarification Note: It's not showing in the toolbars list nor displaying anything on the screen.

Did you look for the icon in the Fredo6 Tools toolbar as indicated in the first post of this thread?

It shows up and works just fine for me in SU2017.

Hi Fredo! I have just now the opportunity to use and appreciate this fantastic plugin... Is it possible to add a Face-HoverSelect mode? Let me try to explain: I often import model from other CAD formats converted in 3ds, so I have a faceted model, no any circle/rect/curve/etc. In order to create sub-groups and/or adding material/color specs to them, I need to select ANY single face one click by another: terrible. Using the selection rectangle, unwanted results occour... If I can hover-select faces, instead, I can group and color them quickly. Do You think You can add this function or maybe create a dedicated plugin?
Thank You very much and many, many, many compliments for your great works!!!

Not totally sure, but I think there exists some plugin doing that, possibly Thomthom's Selection Toys.

Maybe some other forum contributors know the options.

Same here: also Mac OSX El Capitan 10.11, SU Pro 2015. This is a plugin I would use a lot if it worked properly on Mac OS.

...no... I have tested many plugins (including thomthom selection toys): all performs either a "filter" or a "search", but no one acts like the eraser tool, which effectively is what I need... thanks anyway to You and to all the plugins developers: You made Sketchup special!!!
