As I am working with this I find that using the “hide rest of model”, “hide similar components” functionality of Sketchup when “inside” a group or component also helps hide unwanted geometry when smoothing complex intersecting or overlapping surfaces.
I have these shortcuts assigned to ctrl-9 and ctrl-0
Those shortcuts also make it simple to toggle back and forth between showing and hiding stuff. Just a minute ago I used that toggle to show the rest of the model while editing a component so I could place some guidelines in reference to another component. Then I hit the shortcut again to get rest of the model oout of my way.
Is that an extension or a Mac thing? It’s not in my SketchUp 2022…
No. It’s a native thing. And on Windows.
Not here. I am puzzled.
Weird.
My mistake! It is a plugin. Eneroth Combined Hidden Entities Toggle. I iniitially installed it in 2019 and forgot about it. It’s just there.
It might be a must-have. I find I am usually toggling both Geometry and Objects on or off. Thanks.
