    • RE: Scale of Tubes ... How to get Blue Selected

      Thanks. I am not using PRO.

      In case my question was not clear ...

      I know how to scale Blue-Opposite. The problem is that when scaling long tubes (e.g. wires), the circumference is so tiny compared to the length of the tube that I have to do massive zooming just to be able and have my mouse movement select Blue-Opposite. I spend a lot of time trying to get the mouse to highlite Blue-Opposite as opposed to all the other scale options that pop-up as the mouse moves over the teeny-tiny end of the long tube. Of course zooming always works, but I spend so much time zooming and then unzooming on that tiny circle at the end of any tube.

      Not sure how to do the RUBY code, though it looks like it could help. I'm a programmer, so curious to try it.

      THanks

    • Scale of Tubes ... How to get Blue Selected

      I work with a lot of cables in my sketchups. It seems like I spend half of total time that I'm in Sketchup on step #3.

      1. Select the cable
      2. Select SCALE
      3. Find and click the Blue-Opposite alternative
      4. Perform the scale

      Most of the "wasted" time is spent magnifying so I can see the darn choice, and then unmagnifying so I can see the stuff around the cable and do my scale.

      Is there any way to either make Blue-Opposite the default or hit someother key to auto-select it after I do step #2?

      Thanks much
