used Murky when I worked with Hg. and another one MacHg

If you want to round it as output [as astring] then you can use var_string = sprintf("%.1f", var) for 1 dp etc

I probably don't know what I am doing, but I ran the following test, and obtained the attached results. I typically use array.push variable, and don't understand the situations when the other examples might be used. Btw, when I applied the other forms to my app, it failed in ways that leave me to believe that those forms are data sensitive. Can anyone explaine to a Ruby beginner what's up? t=Time.now a=[] 100000.times do r=rand(10000) a<<r end a.uniq! puts Time.now-t 0.125 t=Time.now a=[] 100000.times do r=rand(10000) a.push r end a.uniq! puts Time.now-t 0.141 t=Time.now a=[] 100000.times do r=rand(10000) a.push r end puts Time.now-t 0.094 t=Time.now a=[] 100000.times do r=rand(10000) a<<r end puts Time.now-t 0.093

Don't forget instance_of? when only looking for a specific class without regard to inheritance.

Thanks, the link you provided is straightforward.

Possibly. Maybe it was in another language where you had to gray and disable. ...Visual Basic...? Can't think of anything else where I've dealt with menus...

If you want worldspace near and far plane distances, just project the Model bounding box onto the lookat vector lookat = Sketchup.active_model.active_view.camera.target - Sketchup.active_model.active_view.camera.eye then project each corner of the model bounding box on this line. So: for i in 0...8 #enumerate all the corners x = i & 1 != 0 ? Sketchup.active_model.bounds.min[0] : Sketchup.active_model.bounds.max[0] y = i & 2 != 0 ? Sketchup.active_model.bounds.min[1] : Sketchup.active_model.bounds.max[1] z = i & 4 != 0 ? Sketchup.active_model.bounds.min[2] : Sketchup.active_model.bounds.max[2] build a corner point to test c = Geom::Point3d.new(x,y,z) how far a long the line of sight it is d = lookat.dot(c - Sketchup.active_model.active_view.camera.eye) track minimum and maximum value of d end

Is it a known bug that Sketchup.active_model.options["SlideshowOptions"]["LoopSlideshow"] appears to be totally ignored by SketchUp? I've checked back to SU6 and it is read/writable but the animation still loops if its set to false

well, that was easy... cheers!

You can also find TIG's update of the Delaunay ruby here -- though I don't think the changes have anything to do with the math: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=34232 Best, Jason.

See my first post - I already reported.

@pout said: Why don't you just send the data through JSON to a htmlpage and use that combined with existing chart creator? Like this one: http://www.anychart.com/products/anychart/overview/ Should be pretty simple. Are you in the correct topic, Pout? AnyChart does not produce diagrams, it produces charts. And yes it's a minimum of 500 dollars "simple". Jim had some success using GraphViz, which actually has two examples of state diagrams: finite state machine* LR(0) state graph

Faster solution, using hashes for quick lookups: ` === Find Curves === Sorting: 0.306s (11%) Filter: 0.05s Method: TT_Find_Curves Found 4253 curves in 2.62s` Revision 2

Perhaps what makes problem is the word "snippet".

Wowsers, thanks for all the responses. Question answered!

@unknownuser said: hmm im somewhat confuses here-why did the face appear to have been shifted to the origin of g1 - instead of preserving it's original position? I think that there is a problem somehow with the transformation of the objects. Following my instructions in the other post: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=31443&p=276973&hilit=kwalkerman#p276860 the end result is that in the outliner, a group is added to Sketchup.active_model.entities. The transformation of the group is equal to the transformation of the original face in it's original group. Then, when you open the original group for editing, the face appears in its original location. So, there are two major problems: when passing entities into entities.add_group, entities MUST equal model.active_entities the entities passed in retain their original transformation, relative to the previous entities collection, with some strange behavior. -- Karen

It was just a pseudo code of how the puts behave in SU.

@shirazbj said: Instead of writing every 'mm' in code, I thought it's more easy to draw as it is and scale back at the end. That also cleared me from inserting a DWG file, need scale back to get the dimensions show in right number. Thanks. An imported DWG will use whatever units it has set in the import 'options' dialog opened from the main DWG import browser, So you can rely on that to always be correct.

@unknownuser said: Now I get it! thanks- i had no idea sketchup used the old version So it seems this was the only thing that bothered you. Good.
