Really struggling with selection

has the situation improved?

this is really an onboarding problem also. it’s very hard for new developers to learn scripting without some basic quality of life functions.

I’d like to rotate some unconnected faces that belong to the same object around their local axes, so I have to be on edit mode? to do it programatically? I’ts hard to wrap my head around. (my solution was to export the geometry and do my scripting elsewhere)

for instance, in sktechup(a much simpler, smaller software) I can query selected objects by doing

selection=Sketchup.active_model.selection

that returns an array with every entity selected. no need to loop through everything, which would take forever.

I’m also surprised by the enormous pushback on this.
