Hi all,
Answering this request:
http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=54884
here's a small plugin to select faces by their orientation: horizontal, vertical, or sloping.
This script works in the active context.
Put it in the Plugins folder, restart SU and it will appear in the "Tools" menu.
Regards
Hi,
No plugin AFAIK.
Wait a minute (a day...). I'll code that for u.

@Edson:
I'm puzzled: there's only one UCS registered in you file. I've added 2 new UCS named 02 and 03 with no problem. I send you the file back, please check if they can be listed once back on your Mac.
P.S.: forget the attribute manager, the listing UCS command does the same job.
Regards,
The attributes manager is an old thing by Google released in 2007. I have attached it here.
But the 'list UCS' command of my plugin retrieves the attribute dictionaries of your UCS and just displays them in another way. I see that your UCS aren't registered the way they should be 
Anyone on Mac encountered the same problem ?
I've tested the plugin on a Mac and it works OK.
Edson, can you send me a SKP with several registered UCS ?
Hi Edson,
I suppose each time you register a new UCS you give it a unique name, right ?
Can you do this test: register 2 or 3 different UCS, then call the attributes manager to see if these UCS have been correctly stored as attribute dictionaries.
See attached image: in this example, I have registered 3 UCS named 11,12, and 13, so I have 3 attribute dictionaries named UCS_11, UCS_12, and UCS_13.
If that's no the case on your side, I'll have to further investigate what's wrong with the script on Mac.
Regards,
Thanks for all the comments and suggestions.
Sorry, too busy at this time, I'll publish a release when time permits...
Thanks TIG 
Apparently the plugin has a problem with "additionnal Plugins Folder" ?
Clicking on "generate" button does nothing. Can'select hub type too.
[*]What was the reason for this?
The released plugin was older than the version I used myself... 
@Cotty: Unzip the attached file and overwrite your "arcscircles.rbs" file with the attached one. I'm pretty sure this will solve the issue. 
Regards,
[*]it is possible to define (VCB) the length of the arc or is it only possible with the mouse?
you can type a length in the VCB. If it doesn't work on your side, plz report the issue .
@unknownuser said:
maybe it would be useful to register automatically the UCS that comes by default with the sketchup model; otherwise you have to do it manually each time you create a new one
No, there's no need to do so, to reset the default axes, just right-click on an axis of your current UCS and select "Reset".
Regards,
Hi Georges,
When you register (save) an UCS, the only operation you have to do is to click at the origin of that UCS, no need to click on the 3 axes. As you can see, the cursor still have the correct orientation of XYZ axes. You'll only have to click the axes orientations when you restore a previously saved UCS.
This is explained in the PDF doc included in the resources folder of the plugin. I've attached it here.
Regards,
This plugin is intended to provide SU users some basic tools to save, restore, delete and list their user coordinates systems (aka UCS) of the model.
In SketchUp, you cannot save the axis systems you set with the axes tool, and obviously you cannot retrieve an axis system you used earlier or during another session. This extension offers an alternative method to avoid this.
