    I'll have to look a little closer at the video. (I just looked at it, but I might have to watch harder.) I was quite impressed by the Street View stuff at the Base Camp, but as I remember it, he had to apply the street view texture separately to each face on the building he had created. And he had to stretch and dirstort the image to match the face - so it wasn't an automatic process (or am I missing something @unknownuser said: @unknownuser said: Does PhotoMatch, or 3D street view, or whatever, already wrap an image onto surfaces Is that I said second post See video from 0. 45 minutes and following Also, when you use PhotoMatch for a texture, does it then get shaded? If so I will need to save an unshaded image from SketchUp. (I believe I can do this by turning the sun on for shading, setting Light intensity to 0 and Dark intensity to 100)

    @thomthom said: with your original code, did you try a typeof test of the flag? just to see what it came across as? I am not JS expert, so I didn't even know that 'typeof' exists . Will check the old code. @thomthom said: did you try without semi-colon? Yep. I didn't help.

    Help with Acad generated Dxf file

    Well, I spent the day looking at the way various applications read and write dxf files, as well as the differences between Acad versions. My own Cad program outputs a dxf that is no longer compliant with Acad v 11 (maybe not even since 2000). But fortunately, it hasn't affected my work. I have been writing a SU plugin to modify my Cad2Dxf output in order to improve its performance. As long as I was doing this, I thought I might be able to post a DxfIn for SU-free users, but have discovered that there are too many considerations, requiring rewriting my code to accomplish even a very basic version of this. Good thing for me that my Cad2Dxf is easy to understand. Thanks for the support everyone, hopefully I will finish soon:-)

    ok i've found it here: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=24947&p=213942 use .transform! instead of .transformation .transform adds the specified transformation to the already existing one .transformation replaces the current transformation (like in: will put the object back to 0,0,0)

    Hello, Thanks for your answer and your way to send datas through a Webdialog using ajax. For the SKSocket class, I have asked to Scott (a Googler) at the Basecamp and the response is this class as been developed for an internal test but it's not fully implemented and fully working so don't use it if you want to be sure your code will run correctly. Regarding my needs : Now I just want to handles events from another windows software directly inside Ruby so I'll open another topic in the forum.

    Default save as v7?

    If you are working in a model that's been opened in 'v8' then whenever you 'save' it will be as in the 'v8' format. Whenever you use 'save_as' it will be saved in the 'selected format' at the point you press OK: this defaults to 'v8' format every time: so you have to change it manually each time to another earlier version format - e.g. 'v7'... Sorry, but your "dream" hasn't / won't come true...

    For other beginning ruby writers like myself: model = Sketchup.active_model @entities = model.active_entities @selection = model.selection . . . # Group entities inserted. sel = @selection sel_ents = sel.to_a first_entity = sel_ents[0] while sel_ents.length > 0 if ((sel_ents[0].is_a? Sketchup;;Edge) or (sel_ents[0].is_a? Sketchup;;Face)) and sel_ents[0] == first_entity new_group = sel_ents[0].all_connected sel_ents = sel_ents - new_group group = @entities.add_group(new_group) else sel_ents = sel_ents - [sel_ents[0]] end end model.commit_operation C&C is welcomed:-)

    I did something like that in timetrack.rb - here is the uncompress part zap_files = <<EOL {"tt_stop_l.png"=>"... removed ...", "tt_go_s.png"=>"... removed ..."} EOL if not FileTest.exists?("tt_stop_l.png") eval(zap_files).each_pair do |x,y| File.open(File.join(Sketchup.find_support_file("Plugins"), x),"wb") do |f| f.write y.unpack("m") end end end

    One problem is that some of the floating toolbars do not remember their shape after re-starting Sketchup. Using the new "Save Toolbar Positions" does not help, and I haven't figured how to resize them.
