      This is one area where I geatly prefer AutoCAD's method. In AutoCAD you can keep selecting without de-selecting objects by accident. To de-select you hold down the Shift key. Much better than SketchUp.

        weeeell... "better" is very subjective on this matter. I could easily take your statement and flip SketchUp and AutoCAD. I don't like the way of selecting in AC. But I do like that it let you restore previous selection.

          So far as I know, it (Autocad) won't let you COPY previous. And don't try to do large selections for move or stretch and then zoom in for precision box selection, because in this case all that is selected has to be fully within display.

          I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

            Ok - got something of a prototype working. I'm working on a deadline this weekend so I don't have much more time until next week to look at that.

              Um, quick ACAD tutorial.. make a selection. hit Esc twice. invoke copy command. type "p" (for "previous"). Enter. (now you have your previous selection.) (you can do this in any command, including "ch")

              Now as for Thomthom - you can really make a gizmo to choose between earlier selections!?! 😲

                I have a version working already. When you activate the command it cycles through the last five selections.

                    I need to check how it acts under OSX. There could be an issue there - where you have multiple models open in the same process. Under Windows it is not an issue as there is just one model per process.
