Sometimes I would like to be able to select absolutely everything in a model without having to turn layers on and show and unlock objects. Just to do one operation then have everything go back to the hidden/locked status it had.

Can you tell a bit more why you would need this? I’m quite positive with RhinoCommon it is possible to query every object in your scene.

Well it’s generally for fixing where someone made a model in the wrong orientation or not centered, so I need to basically relocate/reorient World 0.

Thanks, RH-90430 Selection: select everything

@JimCarruthers There should be a command _SelEverything in current WIP that does what you are after. Pls give it a run and let us know what you think.

nice. it also helps getting things back into order when you get models that are somewhere in middle of outer space and all sorts of weird stuff happens like messed up render meshes. the sole purpose for me here at least would be to make a model workable at the origin, but at the end of the day i mi…

[image] encephalon: maybe the entire command could also have a different name like Reposition All since it basically really is just for this purpose. I expect to use SelEverything with scaling, rotating, and orienting in addition to moving. And I may use it with delete when I want to clean al…

[image] encephalon: one thing is not taken into account though which would be rather important, the camera widgets from the named views thanks, I can see that being handy indeed. RH-90728 SelEverything: camerawidgets @encephalon I didn’t think of this earlier, you can turn on camera widgets…

[image] Gijs de Zwart: I didn’t think of this earlier, you can turn on camera widgets for all the named views and these will be selected with SelEverything hm? no.. come on. @Gijs i appreciate the feedback and i just read the comment from @mikko but i want to be honest. this is likely real…

I’m not saying it can’t be improved, but it’s not as tedious as you describe. Select all named views and right click one, then show camera widgets for all of them at once and run SelEverything.

if one makes an almighty command make it almighty already, with no extra steps one has to trial an error their way through. yes awkwardly activating all widgets is not much work but it will be once people start relying on it with some believing the command to be more almighty than it actually is, ha…
