Animation data are stored in the model. All data related to movements, cameras and visual effects refer to objects of the model via a unique ID. The .animator file is simply a backup file, in case something is corrupted in the model. The fromat is a serialization of the working data structures in the plugin. So, not really designed for a clean export. Exporting the animation would first require that you are able to export the container objects (Groups, ComponentInstance), with their transformations.

You are confounding the calculated circumference of a circle, with the perimeter of a many sided polygon. They are distinct. A circle (or an closed ArcCurve) is not a Drawingelement subclass object. They are virtual helper objects that are actually a series of edges with some extra data attached that is used by the GUI.

@Didier-Bur said in Request Section Management Panel: @alexpacio2013 OK I got it. Currently I'm working on an update of my 'Scenes Tools' plugin and it will do almost what you're after. If time permits, I'll develop a script to choose a scene and to activate (or not) a section plane for that scene and update the scene. Regards, In practice, you need a panel where, once the scene has been sectioned, you can activate or deactivate the sections or vice versa, match the section to a scene Let me know when you're ready. I don't understand why no one thought of this, it's a very important thing. Great.

Je préfère rester anonyme. Merci encore de votre intérêt pour mes plugins.

FYI, I did report this to Trimble.

@kitesoul99 Above is a little enhancement: select the material before typing matTexture in the console. Regards

@JoMaLeFe English please.

It was flaky last week, when drag-n-drop of the RBZ didn't work on some specific OSs, but then navigating to the RBZ file and selecting it would still work... I'm surprised it's not been properly fixed by now.

Thank you so much for the info.

Yesssss ! Deleting all faces before using find_faces WORKS. Thanks a lot TIG

I'm hoping that it's all in one cluster to be fair, the file was about 60mb, so if I can search the binary manually, and find it myself in a hex editor I stand a chance of manually recovering. I guess I need to create some test files, then view them in a hex editor to find the strings I need to search for.

@TIG Thank you for your input. My understanding of the C SDK is: SUModelSaveToFileWithVersion(model, "SU2021.skp", SUModelVersion_SU2021); - Should save into the "versionless" 2021 format and it should load without any error or warning into SU 2022 and SU 2023 SUModelSaveToFileWithVersion(model, "SUcurrent.skp", SUModelVersion_Current); - should save in the version of the SDK (in this case 2024) But instead both function calls save in SU 2024 format which IMO is an error in the SDK. I'll try to contact them to sort this.

If it does not work using onLButtonDown then try renaming the callback to onLButtonUp. I recall back in the v8 days there were some quirks with one or the other callback method (I think on Mac platform mostly.)

@TIG said in [Code] realign UVs, or: convert projective to affine: @chris341 It is a very old thread ! I've fixed the basic syntax errors and added modules etc. It works in v2024 [should be OK in v2020] - but I'm unsure of its efficacy... Aerilius_UV_realign_uvs.rb Haha yes!! This seems to work, at least at first glance. Just one texture exported. Thank you so much! I will report back if I have any other issues with it.

Hi. Can I help you ?

@Sklik-Rab said in Ruby Sketchup Programmatic Union of Multiple items: @Dan-Rathbun How to check if @union become nil? To check if the reference points at nil, you can use: @union.nil? which is inherited by Array from Object#nil? To check if the array is empty, you can use: @union.empty?

@sajid1999 This is normal. If you change your PC, the unique hardware ID changes. You can release old seats on this page (you'll need to sign-in)

@hollymichel No, it doesn't read a lot better. You must add the 'code' tag and put your Ruby code inside it. Then the start and end tags [i.e. three back-quotes each: note I put spaces in front here to prevent the forum thinking it was more code... ``` ### ruby code text goes here ``` ] they must both be on their own lines. Which looks like this in the post. ### ruby code text goes here Simplify your process, and make it more complex only when you've got some good results. Trying to do it all in one go is just too difficult. How do you eat an elephant - take small bites !

@EdwardJ82 There are many RB files [unencrypted text] available in the PluginStore, https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore There are also shorter 'snippets' attached to some posts in this forum. You should get very simple examples and try to understand how they work. You also need to understand how the API works... https://ruby.sketchup.com/
