Selection Toys from Thomthom

Every once in a while, I will install an extension that becomes deeply entrenched in my SketchUp workflows. I am talking about the sort of commands that I use regularly. These are the kinds of commands that I end up feeling a little bit lost without. These are the kinds of commands that are designed to look and feel so much like SketchUp that I forget that they are even extensions!

This is the case when it comes to Selection Toys from Thomthom. There are times when I will try to use SketchUp on someone else’s computer or work on a new installation and look for Selection Toys commands, thinking that they are a part of standard SketchUp!

Hopefully, you are intrigued at this point and want to learn more about this extension! Let’s provide an overview of Selection Toys’ capabilities, then try it out!
