      When I use sketchup to build some complex model, I come up with an idea that if I have a selection tool like in autoCAD- polygon selection, maybe it will save some time. Yesterday I googled out Thomthom's plugin- vertex tools( πŸ‘ ),it have the same selection method, but only for vertexes...
      I imagine a small button, after one click, you can use polygon selection like in autoCAD, and exit the tool automatically. Maybe there will be two button, another is freehand selection?? β˜€
      I think this tool maybe is more popular when in top view, like in autoCAD. πŸ˜„

        If you have Vertex Tools then after selecting vertices and exiting vertex editing mode the related edges and faces will be selected.

          I only saw the introduce...But the tool can't select groups and components...
          Maybe this tool is easy to imagine but hard to make.
          Thank you for your reply~ πŸ˜„

            Er,I searched the google sketchup API, and maybe there's no such API to do this work? So it's no use to write such a plugin like this using Ruby.
            I think it may be in the SelectionObserver class or camera class, and I don't find one... Dear Thomthom, Am I get the point?
