Selection Order In Right Click Component Window
-
Hello,
When I use SketchUp, I use many components and I find it very convenient to hide individual components when I'm working on others. It turns out that the window that pops up when I right-click a component has a number of very useful commands, including "erase","hide", and "lock". Unfortunately, having the "erase" next to the "hide" can be problematic because there is no visual difference between erasing a component and hiding it. I usually have outliner up, so I can double check, but when I'm in the thick of things, I sometimes forget, and naturally I click "erase" when I really want "hide". Not great if you've spent a hour working on a component and have to start from scratch.
My suggestion is to change the order of the menu to "erase", "lock", and "hide". By placing "lock" between "erase" and "hide", there is less chance of a stray mouse click erasing your work instead of hiding it.
Thanks!
