      Activate wireframe mode, select all, group, return to normal mode, erase unwanted geometries.

      Or Thomthom selection toys.

          Or, following gilles, all with native SU's tools:
          -go to the wireframe mode-->ctrl+A in order to select all;
          -rigth click-->make group;
          -triple click on an edge (of course you can do that with every non-connected objects with the ctrl key pushed in order to add selections) and press canc.

            Without grouping:

            1. Go wireframe
            2. Select all (Ctrl+A)
            3. Copy the selection (Ctrl+C)
            4. Triple click to select all visible edges + invisible faces and Delete
            5. Under Edit menu, select "Paste in place" (I also have a custom shortcut: Shift+Ctrl+V for this)

                Uh? That's a plugin's feature I suppose.

                  I think it goes with Selection Toys.

                          hey csaba..
                          you can skip the triple-click step.. if you delete all the edges which are already selected via your previous steps, the faces will delete as well.. but this is the method i'd recommend as well

                          wireframe --- cmmdA --- cmmdC --- delete --- shift_cmmd V

                            I have two select only, I'm the winner.

                            Sometimes I don't remember what is native and what is plugins and what plugin it is. 😲

                              there's also the native select option at the top of the context menu (cropped out of your screenshot) though it doesn't have 'all faces' in there..

                              but yeah, i have selection toys and recurve installed as well.. not sure why the selection options are included in recurve.rb? maybe diggsey just liked the feature but didn't want to make a separate plugin for it? i already hounded him about making a few changes in recurve, which he did (and seriously, it's probably my most used plugin.. it's great) so i'm all out of request opportunities on that one πŸ˜‰

                                Without any 'scripting'... here's a one-liner that adjusts any existing selection so that it then only includes faces.
                                Copy/paste this code into the Ruby Console + <enter>

                                s=Sketchup.active_model.selection;s.each{|e|s.remove(e)unless e.is_a?(Sketchup;;Face)}
                                

                                Then... to erase the selected faces click the top-bar to regain focus on the main-window and press the 'delete' key.
                                You can adjust this to include/exclude any type of entity in a selection...

                                TIG

                                    wireframe --- cmmdA --- cmmdX --- shift_cmmd V aka "Paste in place" (mine is shift_I)

                                    That's one step less. What a great thread for showing how powerful SU is in it's native form; an apparently tedious issue solved in four simple steps. β˜€
