    no problem.. These classes are kinda deprecated.. (unless you had to make up a custom control, perhaps an image button...) because nowadays most browsers render controls on a webpage using the native OS's control set. You can be sure this is done in MSIE (for older versions,) by including a <META> tag in the <HEAD> section, thus: %(#8000BF)[<META HTTP-EQUIV="MSThemeCompatible" CONTENT="Yes">] And you'll get XP style controls, instead of the old ugly gray Win 3.x style controls. The tag will be ignored on OSX, as Safari would use Apple style controls.

    IF you must, you can instantiate a UI::WebDialog object, that uses: def login_to_3D_warehouse() title = "3D Warehouse Login" key = "3D_Warehouse_Login" settings = Hash[ ;dialog_title, title, ;scrollable, false, ;preferences_key, key, ;min_height, 500, ;min_width, 600, ;height, 500, ;width, 600, ;left, 400, ;top, 300, ;resizable, true, ;mac_only_use_nswindow, true ] dlg = UI;;WebDialog.new( settings ) lang = Sketchup.get_locale[0..1] dlg.set_url("https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?service=warehouse&passive=1209600&continue=http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/?hl%3D#{lang}&followup=http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/?hl%3D#{lang}") return dlg end # login method # elsewhere in your code; login_to_3D_warehouse().show()

    Well.. hmmm. unless you are an expert at the format of the Mac plist, and the Windows Registry, it's best to tell the user how to add the collection manually. Otherwise see if there is already a library extension by some other plugin author that your plugin could call. Check the Code Snippet list.. and or the Plugin Index in the "Plugins" forum.

    I'm very sure of that, and it was not my intention to imply otherwise. It just sounded like you were keeping that possibility open, so I felt the need to speak up. If it's your intention that it be strictly opt-in though, the idea sounds nothing but good to me.

    @thomthom said: hcal.to_f doesn't modify hcal, it returns a float. So you need to write it like so: hcal = hcal.to_f thanks to both you... yes, both codes work nicely; i spent 3 hours to look for a solution, and i get 2 different, in a few minutes, on sketchucation... learning ruby on the internet is an exciting experience

    @unknownuser said: I'm curious - Did this technique for designating zones ever get implemented in the OpenStudio plugin? I never got a chance to implement this, but I'm working on something similar for the next release, but was just a bit easier to code. It will take a loose selection of geometry (a clean building plan diagram) and will convert each surface into a Space object, and will extrude them to the requested height.) Another big change for the next release is that geometry is drawn in a space vs. a thermal zone. You then assign spaces to thermal zones. This allows you to design in more of an architectural view and then combine rooms into zones. Each space can also have space type assigned. Load and even constructions can then be assigned to a space type. It is a big change so I will add a lot of new video tutorials after the release.

    @dan rathbun said: @jan_pamplona said: if we make a simple rectangle or a plane, i think the default is that the "face" facing you turns into a front color automatically, right!? NO... it does not have anything to do with "facing YOU". When you draw a face, it's normal (The direction the front surface is facing,) is always toward the negative axis. But the PushPull tool will reverse the face if it needs to do so. Thank you very much sir,, yeah, i remember now, im so dumb :,) it's just that i forgot those things because im drawing 2D plans and not noticing about the Push/Pull,thanks

    Just noticed ANOTHER standard Ruby extension that bears on this subject. With a path to the local standard Ruby lib dir pushed into the $LOAD_PATH array, you add the following to your module: require('tmpdir.rb') This standard extension adds the class methods: Dir::tmpdir and Dir::mktmpdir If you read the file, you'll recognize the Dir::tmpdir method as the 'progenitor' of the edition in the Google 'webtextures_loader.rb' file. (Google "lifted" it, and stripped out the Win32 specific part.) So (above) when we talked about whether to rely on the WebTextures plugin, my advice is, to instead rely on the Standard Ruby library.
