    What Windows version and SketchUp version ? EDIT. Nevermind, just go to this post from last Thursday, 1st of May: Re: get registry string from ruby 2.0 (Also works with older versions, if user has the old "win32ole.so" file downloaded from the Plugins forum [link shown.])

    Hello, thank you for your answer. Actually the main reason why it didn't work, is beceause jQuery was required. Once added, it work fine. Inteloide

    Thanks guys. Yes, I was doing a pickhelper or ray intersection and figuring out the object being clicked on and added it to the global selection. That worked fine, but only allowed selecting one entity at a time. I wanted to switch to select tool so I can use the group selection features that are available in it. Like thomthom suggested, I managed to get that working by backing up the current tool before doing Sketchup.send_action("selectSelectionTool:") and then restoring the older tool on release. This probably won't retain the tool state since I'm actually exiting the tool and re-entering, but it seems to work for my purpose. Thanks again!

    Yea did you look at the C code by clicking the method in the CHM ? It has a kind of convoluted switch statement.

    Sounds good. The draw step can be reversed or stopped by deleting the group the draw is writing to, but I don't have it enclosed in an operation. I can add that in. That's the only thing that really needs to be undone; I'm not really crazy about a single undo step rewriting the CNC environment variables and outputting the gcode to a file is a single step anyway that can't be reversed short of deleting the files from the filesystem.

    did you type it directly into 'Ruby Console' and is the session still open? if so, you can use the 'up arrow' to go back to it, otherwise it's a learning experience... EDIT: should have read the post in detail first, but I'll leave this up for others... if your on linux what editor did you write it in, most have history... john

    @tt_su said: @dan rathbun said: fail() #re-raise the last exception Never seen that method used before. Is that different from just calling raise? raise() is an alias for fail() See the doc on the Kernel module: http://www.ruby-doc.org/core-1.8.6/Kernel.html#method-i-fail The best practices guides I have read, suggest that fail be used instead of raise, for readability, I suppose. But I really did not understand the logic in the guide. (I think it was something like "raise" has more meanings as a verb than "fail" ?)

    Thanks much Dan for the info. Looking back at by previous posts, I see that I never made it clear that the question is relative to a WebDialog associated with a plugin. Don't know if that matters but just so you know. Eureka I have found it. It was all a matter of where the onChange was. Because the onClick was part of each radio button statement, I assumed it was the same with the select list. Instead it just needed to be in the <select> statement itself. Thanks again to one and all for the links that put me on the right path to find the answer. def showme() @dlg=UI;;WebDialog.new("VerySimple", true,"Test",500,300,10,10,true) @dlg.set_html( "<html> <body> <form> <select onChange='tellSketchup(value)'> <option value='option1' >Option 1</option> <option value='option2' >Option 2</option> </select> ; Head Type<br><br> </form> <script type='text/javascript'> function tellSketchup(value) { window.location='skp;OptionChanged@'+value; } </script> </body> </html>" ) @dlg.show {} #show it @dlg.add_action_callback("OptionChanged") {|d,p| puts "OptionChanged value=#{p}" } end

    maybe I'm missing the point... @dlg.set_size(100,100) @dlg.set_position(100,100) @dlg.set_size(1000,1000) @dlg.set_position(100,100) can switch between 2 sizes at the same position... john

    EntitiesObserver Weirdness

    Hi Dan, Holding a reference does't make any difference. The only time the reference held by @m is actually stored is when the observer is assigned to Sketchup.active_model.entities. Also, I noticed that in cases where I have a new file, and I first add the observer to a group's entities collection, the observer does not alert onElementModified for the material. It only alerts for the face. Thanks, -- Karen

    This is what finally worked: def dowelHelp dowel_help_File = File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__),"K2_ToolsSupportFiles","k2ws_DowelHelp.html") UI.openURL("file;///#{dowel_help_File}") UI.messagebox("Dowel Help Complete " + dowel_help_File.to_s) end #def dowelHelp The html file was: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <p> <img src="K2_ToolsDowelHelp.png" > </p> </body> </html> Thanks Keith

    Jim/Dan, Thanks for the reply. Adding material (and back_material) to grp works for me. Understanding why this happens is even better.
