    Getting there... When you make a new definition add geometry to it immediately. Empty definitions/groups don't survive in code... Try something like: unless unit_block=def_list["unit_block"] unit_block=def_list.add("unit_block") ### add geometry to unit_block.entities ### add description to unit_block.description ### etc end ### now add instance, knowing the definition exists and has geometry which might be clearer? You don't need to add geometry to the component if it already exists ! Another tip - use Timber.new(bPD,bPW,bPL) not Timber.new (bPD,bPW,bPL) don't leaves a space in front of the arguments' ()

    @tim said: ..., for this case as an example, one could actually create a blank page and set it up as needed rather than having a rather cockeyed 'new' message that actually creates, does setup that isn't wanted and then leaves one to work out how much to undo… right now it isn't 'new' but 'copy'. Well we are supposed to be able to do this with the flags argument in the add() method. see page.update() for an explanation of the flags. What it is missing, is a camera argument. It assumes you wish to copy the current view.camera So you have to modify the new page's view / camera after it is created. (It gets set to the current selected page, whether you want this or not.)

    @archidave said: ... Since I was thinking along these lines, I was expecting the attribute dictionaries to behave in a similar way to creating instance variables; ... Nothing is stopping you from doing so. You can create a custom class (within your plugin namespace module,) for a Wall, that has instance variables, that are loaded from an entity's attribute dictionary. If you just save the values as an array, into a single attribute, you can use Ruby's iterator loops or methods, to load the values into instance variables. So the names of instance variables, are defined by a literal array inside your class, an the initialize method iterates this array, matching it's indexes, with the indexed values in the dictionary array. module ACME module BIMinator DictName = 'ACME_BIMinator' class Wall Atts = [;area,;thickness,;paint] attr_accessor( *Atts ) # expand array Atts to parameter list def initialize(entity) @prop = entity.get_attribute(ACME;;BIMinator;;DictName, 'properties') Atts.each_with_index {|att,i| method("#{att.to_s}=").call(@prop[i]) } end end # class end # BIMinator end SO.. the actual attribute names are defined in ONE place, your custom class.

    @dan rathbun said: Just a note, that in playing around (I did not realize this before,) that custom "User" Axes can be saved within a ScenePage. Yea, I often set up Scenes that adjust just the axis. All though, with SU8 now automatically adjusting the model axis to match component axis there's less need of it for my use. Works well when you have a building with axis in various directions.

    There are several Examples of Tool .rb files shipped with Sketchup - e.g. LineTool. These will show how to construct and then call a Tool class, which then has access to lots of methods relating to user input - mouse, keys etc - without you having to reinvent them from scratch... Also see the API docs... https://developers.google.com/sketchup/docs/ourdoc/tool

    @thomthom said: You're aware of the API documentation, right? https://developers.google.com/sketchup/docs/classes The Entities class has many method to add entites - depending what you want to add: https://developers.google.com/sketchup/docs/ourdoc/entities You're not talking about adding an existing entity to a different Entities collection? I am sorry I made a mistake about the concepts of Sketchup::Entity and Sketchup::ComponentInstance. I have two car models, and I should use entities.add_instance to add a car.

    @tig said: If you meant ComponentInstance then they each have bounds. Make a new empty bounding-box object [ bb], and then add each of the instance.bounds to that bb.add(instance.bounds). The center is bb.center......... Thanks for your tip. I will test the code.

    Thanks for your answer TIG, using non modifier keys is indeed a bad idea inside a tool, because they are already bound to lots of different tools. I also discovered that the int values corresponding to keystroke can be accesed like this valueFor_W_Key = ?W a bit weird, but it works. I ended up not using keys

    Most of the native tool ids are defined as global constants, that begin with "CMD_" List them, at the Ruby Console: Object.constants.grep(/CMD/).sort The tool state integers vary from tool to tool, and some tools do not use them at all.

    The string you feed create_makefile should relate to the init function in your C extension. As you see from the Hello World example, extconf contains this: create_makefile( 'SX_HelloWorld' ) And in the C source you have the init function: void Init_SX_HelloWorld( void ) Note how "Init_" is prepended of the name you feed makefile - and it's case sensitive. @anton_s said: change the vcvars32.bat path to your current vcvars32.bat path, and run it to compile. I have found after making the tutorial that it is easier to just launch the command prompt shortcut that ships with Visual Studio. It's there in it's folder in the start menu. The environment is set up automatically.

    The object's 'position' is relatively easy to find - it's just the t=object.transformation.to_a for the xyx point as an array of the last few elements thus: point=[t[-4],t[-3],t[-2]]... OR transformation.origin ! The transformation's scale and rotation interact with each other, so they are much more complex to extract from the transformation array... but not impossible - there are already some earlier post discussing this...
