In the script, it's just the time allowed to detect the double click

hmmm.... maybe URL encoding them is the way to go... I'll have to try that. That might solve another problem I had when I used system - it would not open non-ASCII paths.

works . thanks a lot.

@jhauswirth said: You need to use camera.height in parallel mode. Thank you, that works.

WOW Works perfect No problems at all, you are the meeeennnn!!! Thank you!!!

Try Sketchup.active_model.options["PageOptions"]["TransitionTime"] and Sketchup.active_model.options["PageOptions"]["ShowTransition"] returns the values - say 1.0 and true. You can rest them thus: Sketchup.active_model.options["PageOptions"]["TransitionTime"]=0.0 or Sketchup.active_model.options["PageOptions"]["ShowTransition"]=false

New update here with additional methods... http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=293700#p293700

You could do this automatically by adding the above statement to the end of the Tools/dynamiccomponents.rb file (after the statement that registers the DC extension.) IF the extension is OFF then the extra class methods would be defined. IF the extension is ON, the file may get reloaded, but no harm should be done.

Here's an updated list of default plugins that ship with SketchUp 8. [image: d32m_0911.png]

Thanks.

Well, better late then never. Not as difficult as I thought. First point, then rotate: ` comp.transformation=Geom::Transformation.new(comp.transformation.origin,point_vector) comp.transform! Geom::Transformation.new(comp.transformation.origin,comp.transformation.zaxis, (Math::PI*3)/2)` Thanks everyone.

Sounds like the only way to check it, is to run the app on both platforms?

@tig said: See this http://code.google.com/apis/sketchup/docs/ourdoc/componentinstance.html#volume It returned for the Instance as it currently is - like the face.area method... He's trying to read data from .skp files on disk - not within SU Ruby API.

Duh! Should off course have eliminated new object creations. (They are all too expensive.) Changing it and the numbers are quite different: d=Sketchup.active_model.definitions[0]; inst=d.instances; c=10000000; puts "Counting #{d.count_instances} instances..."; t=Time.now; c.times { d.count_instances }; puts "Count: #{Time.now-t}s"; t=Time.now; c.times { inst.length }; puts "Count: #{Time.now-t}s" Counting 8642 instances... Count: 3.562s Count: 1.795s

Thanks Tom, I really did try to find it.

Well, I'm happy to test it out, on SU7 & 8 Pro. But programming? Nope. But with TIG and ThomThom commenting here you've already got some deep SU Ruby knowledge. If we can ask them to get involved .... As suggested, there's nice exporters for POVray and Kerkythea, which means we may be able to draw on others in the forums too. Supporting another good OSF renderer in SU would be helpful to all involved. What functions do you think needs to be done to move this project along, and then to the next level?

rav11, clarify.. (please) do the Mac scrambled scripts work on SU ver 7.x ?? and not work on SU ver 8.x ??

There's an updated 'extra' Material.save_bumpmap(folder, inverted) tool added. http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=291646#p291646 It's been sent to 'beta-testers' - are there any others interested in trying it out 'cross-platform'?

@Tig and Chris, I had a play using view.vpwidth and .vpheight but don't understand why it doesn't work, I ran this code on the same drawing with and without a 'Camera' view and thought it might show you if Mac's handle things differently, or not. I thought using the second set of co-ords to output a file would work, but I'm doing something wrong so I'll leave that off this post.
