[REQUEST] select lines by axis [Plugin]

[baldaman]

I have a huge wireframe structural model with a lot of layers according to a lot of different sections and I want to organize it a bit. I would like to be able to select all lines aligned on y axe (=difference in x=0) for exemple.
Please help dear RUBY MASTERS!

This does what you want.

To use select lines and type highlightlinesbyaxis 'x' in the Ruby console.

All lines aligned to that axis are highlighted.

You can use 'x', 'y' and 'z' as the axis argument,

but if no argument is given it defaults to 'x'.Put into Plugins folder...
