Layer group selecting

[HappyCheeze]

I'm working on a section of my map in DR, and I've got all my floors layered and what not. So it comes to a specific part of my map and the 4th floor walls are getting in the way, so I select and hide them. Now I have a better view in 2d for putting this window. Well just working through I ended up hiding the glass so I can better work on the textures for the frame. Now I do the unhide shortcut and the rest of the walls are visible. CRAP. Time to reselect all the 4thfloor walls and hide them so I work better again.

 

I don't know if there is a way to select layered brushes, entities etc all at once, like a select only "Firstfloor" layer objects. I thought I'd check with the darkradiant fathers first before putting it to the tracker.

Actually, such a feature is already on the wishlist and tracked: http://bugs.angua.at/view.php?id=684

 

I think this should make it in the next release.

I've wanted that too, but in the mean time you can simply turn off all the other layers, hit "I" to do "invert selection" to select everything (since you have nothing selected, the inverse of that is everything), then turn back on all the other layers.

 

It's actually pretty quick and easy once you know how, just "click click click, I, click click click" and it's all selected how you want.

Cool,

 

I guess I should of searched for it first. I had just reported a bug too.

 

Thanks.

In case anybody else looks in here you can find this feature has been implemented in the latest snapshot build.
