Sometimes we forgot we are editing a component. destroying other parts of the drawing without us noticing.
Maybe make the component frame/background color red, telling us that we are inside a component.
I’ve never needed it but there is a plugin for just that purpose.
Hello,
Personally, the way I’ve set up Sketchup, I never do the mistake.
I added " ’ " (the key right under escape key) as a shortcut for view > component edit > hide rest of model (which actually acts on groups as well), that allow me to toogle quickly between a clear editing mode, which will also show other inferences of the edited component and a context preview mode of this same component.
(I also added shift + ’ for view > component edit > hide similar components for models with too many inferences).
but for the feature request, why not, seems like a little modification that would be useful !
I always have the Entity Info window open and a quick glance at it tells you the status of the item selected.
