      #SelectionHideShow.rb adds a context-menu sub-menu with various Selection, Hide and UnHide tools, such as 'Invert Selection', 'Hide/UnHide Selection', 'UnHide All Active' etc...#SelectionHideShow.rbPayPalButton
      Edit:
      v1.1 Now tests with ".is_a?" to speed-up and avoids testing already unique groups[after AlexM's advice].

          Great!
          I asked for this a while ago.
          I suggested it was something that should be a standard feature in SketchUp
          Now it is. Thanks for another great contribution.

          Regards
          Mr S

            Thanks TIG. However I expected to see Reverse Faces in there too.

                Reverse and Orient faces is already built-in on the context-menu - near the top [as are some other 'select tools']... adding them would only duplicate stuff...

                  ❓ Why constantly to use the method of group_miner, when in him practically is not there a necessity?
                  ❓ Why to apply properties to entity, when are new properties of entity equal to the applied properties?
                  These questions are linked at a speed of implementation of script on the large scenes.

                  ❗ Example of considerable increase of speed of implementation of script:

                  
                  class Sketchup;;Group
                      def definition
                          self.entities.parent
                      end
                  end
                  def SelectionTool;;group_miner(ents)
                      ents.each do |e|
                          if e.is_a? Sketchup;;Group
                              e.make_unique if e.definition.instances.length > 1
                              SelectionTool;;group_miner(e.entities)
                          end
                      end
                  end
                  
                  

                  ❗ At the use of method of typename speed of implementation of script goes down in once or twice!
                  It would be desirable to correct these shortages...

                    Alex, I have not run any tests on typename, but I use it regularly. Are you saying that it is much slower than .is_a?

                    I'd rather use the faster method too, I just never knew there was a faster one. I'm sure TIG isn't using a slow method on purpose either...

                        That's some interesting numbers. I've always used k ind_of? - wasn't aware of the is_a?. then again, I've never tested the speed of methods either.

                        Thanks for posting this test.

                            Thanks Alex - you've probably noticed I used the .is_a? test everywhere else in the script - however, I didn't realise it was so much slower to use typename=="". 😳
                            I've also incorporated my own version of your group_miner speed-up suggestion that now avoids testing groups that area already unique... πŸ€“

                            I just need to edit ALL of my other scripts to change e.typename=="" to e.is_a?() !!! 😒

                                  Hmm... .kind_of? is an alias for .is_a? - Is that fraction of a differences just some other random outside co-incidence?

                                    I did a somewhat larger test. By the looks of it .is_a?, .kind_of? and .class are pretty much the same. I take the differences due to other system factors at the time of execution.
