    If you want to 'select' something ... ### Let's assume you have an array [list] of the items to add to the component, called 'list'... ### If you have selection made that has 'raw' faces in it then add those faces' edges too to the list, if those edges then have other faces those faces and edges too - '.all_connected. ??? ### This is what causes bugsplats - when parts of 'connected things' are put into different entities sets... model=Sketchup.active_model selection=model.selection selection.clear selection.add(list) ### OR list.each{|e|selection.add(e)} ### then the code... g=model.active_entities.add_group(selection.to_a) inst=g.to_component inst.name="MyInstancesName" defn=inst.definition defn.name="MyComponentsName" ### check it hasn't incremented; using dname=defn.name; compare dname to "MyComponentsName", e.g. it might now be "MyComponentsName#1" ### etc...

    @cjthompson said: Ruby in Steel just allows you to type .rb files in VS, although I think I misunderstood you. Are you trying to find an IDE to write scripts or are you trying to find a way to connect .NET Applications with Sketchup? First: I would like to use the best IDE for the job. A Good Debugger with the ability to step througb code and hopefully a level of intellisense. VS should provide both. Even if I have to write pseudo modules that mimic the SU API I feel I would be miles ahead of using a text editor. Second: Of course I would like to find a way to drive Sketchup from VS. If it means I can use other VS languages so much the better. If it means I have to learn Ruby in VS... Less desireable from my standpoint but not out of the question. I've been poking around the Iron Ruby forum and it looks like IR is based on the Dot.NET framework and requires it to function. It also appears that Iron Ruby is not really ready for public consumption within VS at this time. They are still working toward version 1.00 Cheers,

At some point there will be a send-me-money feature added. At this point (mid-summer, 2009) that feature does not exist. The whole price right now is feedback. Tell me what works and what's unclear. Major mistakes and minor typos." [source] Free content/editing from feedback seems as bad as free designs from competitions (much despised around here - example).

    Thank you. You know in hind sight that makes perfect sense. I guess the whole class in the def thing just though me. I am definitely not a programmer so when I see something I'm not used to seeing it throws me off. Thanks again

    @unknownuser said: The Mac requires a complete <body> section before it will do anything. If your actual body depends on getting data from Ruby, this is a problem. The trick is to have bogus HTML that displays a "Start" button. Call the Ruby when the button is pressed. (And wait for it to call back, as above.){tutorial} This may well be true but the reason I used a start button solution was that cgScenes immediately examines the model for the current scene and list of all, and as I understand there is no **Sketchup.active_model when the Ruby scripts are first loaded. BTW I would question whether the notice " 2009, Martin Rinehart" in "SketchUp Ruby Interface to JavaScript" is appropriate given the contributions of SCF members. ** edited 1400 gmt for clarity

    Sure it's possible. The Ruby API provides very good access to all of the model's geometry and most of it's other data.

    @birdair said: b) Why some curves lines (ellipses) looks faceted... can fix that little problem... how? You can always take your curve and convert it to FSpline or Cubic Bezier to get more intermediate points (you need first to convert it to a Polyline). But I am not sure it can give always the same best results as to think of the number of segments in the first place when you create the curve, as RunnerPack says. Fredo

    yes... i'm doing it manually now - but i have more than 1200 faces! - not funny... better texturing is really badly needed - i don't get it why su7 has got no new tools for this. if google can't do multicore or high poly why not improved texturing tools?!? should be useful for google earth too...

    I will add that the Definition name is different than the Instance name, but should work the same. ins = entities.add_instance(cdef, transf) name = ins.definition.name name.gsub!(/#/, '/') ins.definition.name = name
