Appreciate these tricks, and especially what the Selection Toys extension can do. 👍👍

[@peterbont]

Why are the edges from the bench still black ? ... and not grey ? I'm confused ...

[@OveToranger]

Lots of useful info there ! Thanks !

[@keggyification]

A great 'Selection' of tips there Tyson, Nice one Sir.

Haha, don't tell the other guys!

I haven't considered hiding a surface. Nice.

[@SketchUp]

For those rare situations, it's a nice little 'trick'. Thanks!

4:39 Tyson, you show here separating the top plane to access the chamfers for the follow-me. I believe you should be able to activate hidden lines and run that process without moving geometry as the chamfers would be then accessible to the follow me tool. Confirm?

[@SketchUp]

If I understand your suggestion.. there are some other reasons I showed copying that face upward that I didn't talk about.. One is that if we use the edges or face directly as is, the follow-me command will break the arcs into segments, and then the next follow me command will show all those segments.. you can smooth those again of course, but it's one consideration.
I also find it sometimes easier to separate the path. I can't use a triple-click to easily select or de-select the inner/ outer path if it's still connected. That said, I could have just copied the top shape once, and deleted the surface, leaving both inner and outer paths. That would have been easier.
Thanks!
