The Eneroth Random Selection plugin is a SketchUp extension designed to randomly select a specified percentage of existing geometry. This utility operates as an extension for SketchUp, providing a streamlined interface for the probabilistic selection of entities. It allows users to define a specific fraction or percentage of the currently selected objects within the workspace, enabling quick, non-manual variations in model density. The tool is engineered for efficiency, removing the need for tedious manual clicks when thinning out crowds, scatter objects, or repetitive architectural components. It functions directly within the native SketchUp environment, integrating into the existing selection workflow to help designers manage complex scenes without manual overhead or repetitive administrative tasks.

Users install this extension via the standard SketchUp extension manager. Once loaded, the tool is accessed through the main menu or toolbar. To execute, select a set of geometry and trigger the plugin; a dialog box prompts for the desired selection percentage. The script then automatically updates the active selection based on the input value. This process is non-destructive, allowing for immediate re-selection or refinement of the model state without altering the underlying geometry.

This plugin is essential for architectural visualisers and landscape designers working on high-density scenes. It is particularly useful for thinning out vegetation, furniture clusters, or complex urban context models to improve viewport performance. By enabling rapid, random selection, it simplifies the process of creating variations in materials or styles across large arrays of components. It is a standard tool for streamlining workflows in residential, commercial, and master-planning projects where repetitive geometry needs to be managed or modified quickly.
