Hmm... on further inspection, while I can apply the method, I did not get the desired output. The resulting transformation has the bounding box, and axis (I think) pointing in the right direction, but the component did not return to its original location. Maybe I can figure it out this weekend. I often use UI.messagebox (variable) to check my work as I go along, but some (?) of the transformations do not seem to display until the program has been completed.

Make sure to add it tot he feature request someone. They are responsive to requests and they like to be able to track them. Chris

"degree" seem to work as input as well. @tig said: I don't think you can 'switch off' the VCB character recognition, IF you want to use it to take lengths etc, BUT you can switch of the VCB completely, with this def, within your Tool using Off is the default. @tig said: You can then watch for user key-presses [Tool.onKeyDown or Tool.onKeyUp] within your own Tool without risk of the VCB taking something the wrong way... Problem is that the shortcuts still trigger. I was enabling the VCB in hopes it'd prevent that and catch the keys... I've even tried returning false on the Key events - in hopes to suppress the keys being sent to the rest of the system - like you do in HTML + Javascript. But no luck there either. Bugrit, millennium hand an' shrimp! Anther idea crash and burns.

Yea - I miss a bug-fix list in the release notes. Gotto test this with older SU versions though.

You can also use the SKP "Simple Extrension" API to put your tree structure into a C++ list box. Here is a sample we use to display component categories and select components for placement. (click on image to remove scroll bars) [image: MVsq_tree.jpg]

I'm looking for Ruby writers to test drive chapters 18 and 19: http://www.martinrinehart.com/models/tutorial/ Should get you from Ruby to checkboxes fast. I'll be looking at it - several of my scripts would benefit from web-dialogs and the ability to keep them open whilst you tweak stuff interactively... Later this week I'll try and feed-back...

Yeah, I use start_operation and abort_operation in pretty much every script. They work with the "undo stack". So if you write a script that loops 20 times and adds a line in each loop, SketchUp will count that as 20 separate operations. So to fix wthat, you can do: ` model.start_operation "Line Adder" code to add my lines.... model.commit_operation` By wrapping the code within the start and commit operations, it all just turns into a single commend. So ctrl-z (or EDit > Undo) will undo all 20 lines in one shot. AND the "Line Adder" text will be displayed in the Edit > Undo menu. Chris

@martinrinehart said: See Chapter 20, when I finish it, for a thorough answer. Quick answer: Depends on content. Just text? innerHTML is far easier. Want to add a table? innerHTML is the hard way. Isn't there also innerText for adding just pure text? Though - this might be IE only...
