Any one else having an issue with Zoom Extents and Curic Select++?

I think Curic Select++ is the reason why Zoom Extents is not working for me with 2024 and 2025.

If I have, say, a house superimposed on a site plan, if I turn off the site plan by it’s tag, Zoom Extents will not zoom to the extent of the house but will zoom to the extent of the turned off site plan.

I think that Zoom Extents doesn’t care if parts of a model are hidden or on a turned off tag.

I’m not sure I understand what you are saying Anssi.

Apologies if this is what you mean – the way that zoom extents has worked for me is that it will zoom to the extent of the visible geometry.

With Curic Select++ this seems to be broken and zoom extents zooms to the extent of the entire model even if geometry is hidden or turn off by tags.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for reporting this issue. I just checked, and you’re absolutely right.

I found that the problem comes from the getExtents method in Select++, which currently returns the model’s full bounds (model.bounds), including objects hidden by tags. I’m still trying to understand why this affects the Zoom Extents behavior, especially since Select++ is just an overlay tool.

I’ve just released a patch to fix this:
select_pp-v1.0.6-1-gdd300e0.rbz (105.0 KB)

Let me know if the issue is resolved after updating!

Thanks again for pointing it out!

Yes, extensions are not supposed (in most cases) to purposefully modify or interfere with SketchUp’s native tools. (I think it is one of the terms for registering as a developer.)

Did you find a bug in the API Tool or Overlay interfaces that affected the native Zoom Extents?
