      is there a plugin that could toggle hide and unhide construction lines without selection or without putting them in a group and separate layer?

      If I make it look easy...It is probably easy

            seriously tho. . .when you do everything by keyboard shortcut you tend to forget what is on the pull downs. . .

            I'm so embarrassed.

              You can assign a shortcut key to this menu item, too.

                Why don't you just add a shortcut then?
                I use Shift+N to show/hide construction lines, N for measure and Ctrl+Shift+N to delete all construction lines.
                And H to toggle visibility of other objects while editing group/comp, and Shift+H for showing instances,
                I use those all the time, along with Shift+X to toggle hidden lines on/off and X for X-ray.

                  the original question was hinting that he wanted to add the plugin as a shortcut (no selecting/grouping/layers etc)..

                  David was just hoping someone would write a plugin for something that already existed in native sketchup!

                              I could use a bit of a get away. ..

                              Seriously. . .How're things going there for you anyway? Focus has kinda turned toward Joplin Mo. . .

                              Are you getting it back together alright?

                                Well again we (my family) did not have any damage. As far as the region there is still much to do. We had a big storm come through last night with 60-80 mph straight line winds and a couple small rotations. Luckily we did not get any damage from that but some people did. Power was/is out for part of the region again too.

                                I go out again Saturday for more debris cleanup.

                                    Hey guys, I know about show/hide guidelines... is there another button to erase them all on one shot?

                                        No plugin required. I assigned a keyboard shortcut for Edit>Delete Guides. Do that and you can have a real button.
