Alternatively just make a group and add entities to it... then turn it into a component when you are done... ### you'll need to define stuff like entities, pt1/2 etc earlier on - it's skipped here for brevity group=entities.add_group() group.entities.add_line(pt1,pt2) ### add as much as you want... instance=group.to_component definition=instance.definition definition.name="My Definition's Name" instance.name="My Instance's Name" tr=Geom;;Transformation.new(ptxyz) ### ptxyz = new insertion point, as it'll be located at the ORIGIN by default instance.transform!(tr) ###to move or even rotate/scale it as needed ### etc ### to now add further stuff to definition use### definition.entities.add_...

@cphillips said: I think that example shows that a script with quotes in it now works. That was one of many problems with execute_script on Mac. Ah, so I guess I really should test my dialogs on Mac SU6 and not assume WinSU6 to be the same.. sigh

Thanks, I must have done something s****d, like copy the file from v6.x, when I didn't see it in the v7.x plugin folder.

Get comfortable with Ruby, then apply that to the API documentation. Read other people's code, and most importantly - try things yourself, and ask questions when they don't work.

UVwrapping would be a dream come true in sketchup. Hell, even cubic, cylindrical and spherycal maping would already be great.Amazing how we are able to survive for so long without any of those...(maybe thanks to whaat's plugin...)

Tig Thanks for the info and the help. However, I found the script I was looking for, ConsDeleteContext.rb, which is one of your scripts. I just forgot that it is a context selected script. So now I am working again. Maybe I will make a small database with all the scripts that I have or can find, and enter just what they do, who made the script and how to activate the script. As soon as I get the time. Tig, again thanks for your scripts. Ken

Rick, can you show me a screenshot of this bag with the "high" quality cutout please? this is not the quality I need for my work... I'm thinking trees/flowers, etc. [image: golfbag-4-low.jpg]

OK, I think I figured it out: module module.method01 . data=module.module02(data) #call method02 . end module.menthod02(data) . data=..... end end #menu I should have known that:-) Now, whats a CLASS?

I use... class Float def =~(num2,tol=10000) num1=(self*tol).to_i num2=(num2*tol).to_i return true if num1==num2 return nil end end #class Float

Hello my name paan, can you find or make sketchup plugin that can detect the edge of the texture and turn into that shape . It's more like make the rectangle turn into the shape of the texture that have transparent background . sorry for my bad English and i hope you understand what i meant and if you find it don't forgate to send an email to me at: fan_mustar@yahoo.com.my

TIG, thanks a lot! The script worked very well. So, I will include it inside the main script. I wont forget to speak folds its aid. Really very thanks Sérgio

Got another 'jewel' for the WebDialog list of treasure's: If you want to have the nice XP styled 'themed' controls (buttons, scrollbars, tabs, etc.), instead of the old ugly Win 3.x style, there's a META tag to put in the HEAD section. This 'formally' is known as MS Common Controls ver 6 (where the old ver was 5.) These controls are housed in comctl32.dll, which shipped with XP. (Look at properties to see product ver, not file version.) here's the tag: <!-- This tells the HTML frame to use MS Common Controls ver 6+ if available --> <!-- (also known as XP style themed controls.) .HTA files always NEED this. --> <META HTTP-EQUIV="MSThemeCompatible" CONTENT="Yes"> For more info, see Using Visual Styles with HTML Content on page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms997646.aspx#xptheming_topic11 ..and BTW if ya' wonderin' why SU doesn't use ver 6 controls in their dialogs, it's because they didn't turn them 'on' (as a dependant assembly,) in the Sketchup.exe manifest. A holdover from preXP days I imagine. I'm running SU with them ON, but there are some display issues with the brown buttons on the left of the status bar (no images,) as well as few other things. [See post in Google groups, Technical Issues if interested. Have forwarded a 'bug' report to Google as well. Perhaps the next version, they'll have all the controls updated seeing as how they only support XP and higher.] .

@newone said: If so, why does it renders buttons so old-way? Sometimes Standards Compliant mode on MSIE turns MS Common Controls back to the old 'unthemed' set (they look like old Win 3.x ugly controls.) See my post in the other WebDialog thread for a META tag that goes in the HEAD section. Sometimes it can turn the 'XP themed' ver 6 controls back on. I don't know if they work in Strict mode, but the tag should work for Tranistional mode. http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=22698#p196706

ahhh, thank you...

Mac? I've got a Mac Mini with OSX10.4 which I've used to try my plugin on. Just wanted to confirm a real IE7 system to see how the webdialog worked.

wow bounding box is such a neat thing.. thanks for pointing it out!!

Plus, regex can handle the Unicode data from Sketchup, which SU's Ruby doesn't.

download that and place it in your sketchup\plugins folder, next time you open sketchup, the tool will be in the plugins menu. good luck.
