Yeah it was back before version 4 I think. It recorded the mouse position on the screen and mouse clicks. So if you re-positioned your SU window, the whole macro broke!

if I change the rubies encoding to uft8 and I zapp the gremlins I get this which shows the css for font size is not good. use ems [image: DcYM_2012-11-3008.31.12pm.png]

Howdy from Boulder, I do not see a bug in our database for this issue. I'll log a bug for you guys. Take care.

The forum search isn't that good. I have more luck using Google to search it.

I've been toying around on AWS today and I realised something. One of the RGAL's dependencies is Qt3. The precompiled CGAL library in the Ubuntu repository is NOT compiled with Qt3. This means that you have to compile CGAL yourself which is always a hassle. I don't know about other platforms though. It's possible that mac's precompiled CGAL works a charm If bootstrap fails at rb_Nef_polyhedron_3.cpp because it can't find qapplication.h, you have two options. *Either comment out the show method in the cpp file (dont forget to comment out the rice refference to it at the bottom of the file) and the two lines (qapplication and Qt_widget) in the rb_Nef_polyhedron_3.h file *Or get your act together and compile CGAL from scratch remembering to set the Qt3 flag to true. Ideally, it would be nice to have the Nef_polyhedron return a qt_widget object that ruby can then put in its own qt application. I have the feeling that that just isn't possible though.

I think when setting a color to a textured material, the change becomes visible immediately, however the API does not differ between colorizing (checkbox in the materials browser) and color-shifting (pointer on the color wheel). Assuming you rotate the color wheel of a material A and get material B: [image: Z4QK_colorize.png] We can then read the color value of B: ` material.materialType 2 color = material.color Color(200, 147, 62, 255)then reset it to the texture image's original look: material.color = nil nilThis way we get A. material.materialType 1then trying to set it again: material.color = color Color(200, 147, 62, 255) material.materialType 2` This time it is also colorized (C) and we have no control about it.

@fdarma said: Well, I have no idea that such an instance definition existed. On that topic, a detailed breakdown of how instances and definitions work in SketchUp: http://www.thomthom.net/thoughts/2012/02/definitions-and-instances-in-sketchup/ If you are fresh to SketchUp plugins I recommend you also check out this: http://www.thomthom.net/thoughts/2012/01/golden-rules-of-sketchup-plugin-development/

Hi Ibswu, Check this: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=48769 -- Liquid

@driven said: I did wonder the same after cloning the new version and losing that fix, at the same time I added </body> > <script> bodyLoad() </script> and deleted it the top tag, again. I'm away for a few days but will try your version hack, does it work with gems? john The only reason it wouldn't work with gems is that SketchUp doesn't set up a library load path to anything except their own stuff. To get any other ruby code you need either to copy it into SketchUp's area or manipulate the ruby load path before you access it. Steve

Thanks , TIG and Dan, I have decided to install Ruby, though it seem a little complex to me

@sachi said: User has to change the scene(click on the scene tab) manually to display the animation(to go to the next scene). No the user chooses from the menu: View > Animation > Play For Ruby YOU use the Animation class. Or just change the selected_page via the Pages collection.

Aha, I see. So embedding HTML is more for convenience sake then. I remember even over half a year ago there where issues on Safari, thought they whould have been fixed by now. Kind of the answer I was hoping for though, if I understood it correctly. Thank you.

@dan rathbun said: @tig said: So who is to produce the list of [REQ] posts that have been answered / unanswered ? (1) Can moderators set a topic to "Solved" against a certain post, with the new "solution feature" (green check button) ?? The answer to (1) I'd say is YES. Here's an image of one of my posts.[image: 8HVb_solved_post_in_topic_list.PNG] I personally changed the title prefix from "[Issue]" to "[Closed]", but it was Gábor that actually marked it solved. (He reminded me of the "solution feature" in doing so.)

Thanks, That plug-in will do nicely. I have imported a test file and it worked well.

@tig said: Then later use @dlg to change its url, show it etc, and set/reset all other options available etc... This is important! The dialog instance is not destroyed when you close it. You can re-open it again. And if you had data from the dialog, stored in Ruby vars, you can reset them back into the dialog's Javascript vars, after it reopens.

You can get a type of entity faster by using grep.

The MSDN page says there are no standards that apply to onerror (its IE only.) You could it on both the document and window objects just to be sure. If Safari is DOM Level 3, then you may need to use: %(#8000BF)[window.addEventListener("error",*fHandlerName*,*bCapture*)] [window.addEventListener](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff975245(v) DOM Level 3: Error Example: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh772306(v=vs.85).aspx Or you could %(#8000BF)[catch] the errors with JS: [url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/4yahc5d8(v=vs.85).aspx:3cyk4r6q]try ... catch ... finally[/url:3cyk4r6q] [url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/85fscz6h(v=vs.85).aspx:3cyk4r6q]throw[/url:3cyk4r6q] [url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dww52sbt(v=vs.85).aspx:3cyk4r6q]Error object[/url:3cyk4r6q]

actually, here's the benchmark code I ran class Magic;def initialize(&block) @block=block;end def ===(other) @block.call(other) end end def GetVrayImportantArrayFromGrepDrawingelement(entities) return entities.grep(Sketchup;;Drawingelement){|ent| false == (ent.class == Sketchup;;Edge) ? ent ; nil}.compact end def GetVrayImportantArrayOfTypesFromGrep(entities,typeHash) for curType in typeHash.keys() typeHash[curType] = entities.grep(curType ) end end def GetVrayImportantArrayFromGrepMagic(entities) return entities.grep(Magic.new {|ent| ent if(ent.class == Sketchup;;ComponentInstance or ent.class == Sketchup;;Group or ent.class == Sketchup;;Face)}) end def GetVrayImportantArrayFromLoop(entities) vrayImportant = Array.new() for ent in entities.to_a if ent.class == Sketchup;;Face or ent.class == Sketchup;;ComponentInstance or ent.class == Sketchup;;Group vrayImportant.push(ent) end end return vrayImportant end def RunBenchmarkOnEntities(entities) testHash = Hash.new() testHash[Sketchup;;Face] = [] testHash[Sketchup;;ComponentInstance] = [] testHash[Sketchup;;Group] = [] grep_drawing_ele_result = grep_magic_result = compare_loop_result = nil grep_drawing_ele_start_time = Time.now.to_f grep_drawing_ele_result = GetVrayImportantArrayFromGrepDrawingelement(entities) grep_drawing_ele_end_time = Time.now.to_f grep_types_start_time = Time.now.to_f grep_types_result = GetVrayImportantArrayOfTypesFromGrep(entities,testHash) grep_types_end_time = Time.now.to_f grep_magic_start_time = Time.now.to_f grep_magic_result = GetVrayImportantArrayFromGrepMagic(entities) grep_magic_end_time = Time.now.to_f compare_loop_start_time = Time.now.to_f compare_loop_result = GetVrayImportantArrayFromLoop(entities) compare_loop_end_time = Time.now.to_f puts "drawing_ele_test time; #{grep_drawing_ele_end_time - grep_drawing_ele_start_time}, resulted in #{grep_drawing_ele_result.size} elements found" puts "types_test time; #{grep_types_end_time - grep_types_start_time}, resulted in #{testHash.values.flatten.size} elements found" puts "magic_test time; #{grep_magic_end_time - grep_magic_start_time}, resulted in #{compare_loop_result.size} elements found" puts "loop_test time; #{compare_loop_end_time - compare_loop_start_time}, resulted in #{compare_loop_result.size} elements found" return nil end RunBenchmarkOnEntities(Sketchup.active_model.entities)

Great, this solved my problem! Thank you very much Dan!
