count me in! 😍

Hi Al,
Most options in Su are handled by hashes.
For instance:
options=Sketchup.active_model.shadow_info
then:
options.to_a gives:
[["City", "Paris"], ["Country", "France"], ["Dark", 20], ["DayOfYear", 172], ["DaylightSavings", false], ["DisplayNorth", false], ["DisplayOnAllFaces", true], ["DisplayOnGroundPlane", true], ["DisplayShadows", false], ["EdgesCastShadows", false], ["Latitude", 48.867], ["Light", 80], ["Longitude", 2.333], ["NorthAngle", 0.0], ["ShadowTime", Fri Jun 21 15:30:00 Paris, Madrid 2002], ["ShadowTime_time_t", 1024666200], ["SunDirection", Vector3d(-0.149675, -0.420103, 0.895048)], ["SunRise", Fri Jun 21 06:53:33 Paris, Madrid 2002], ["SunRise_time_t", 1024635213], ["SunSet", Fri Jun 21 22:51:25 Paris, Madrid 2002], ["SunSet_time_t", 1024692685], ["TZOffset", 1.0], ["UseSunForAllShading", false]]

options.keys return an array of all the options names and options.values an array of all the values associated with each key.

All the hashes are contained in: Sketchup.active_model.options
For example:
optionsmanager[0].to_a gives:
[["LengthPrecision", 2], ["LengthFormat", 0], ["LengthUnit", 4], ["LengthSnapEnabled", true], ["LengthSnapLength", 0.393700787401575], ["AnglePrecision", 1], ["AngleSnapEnabled", true], ["SnapAngle", 15.0], ["SuppressUnitsDisplay", false], ["ForceInchDisplay", false]]

And so on... all sort of things that I found by myself (and with the help of other rubyists) BUT that Google apparently don't care to document 👎

all right, respect. there you go webconsole 😉

Here ya go, Al.

See this thread for more undocumented ShadowInfo options.,

I remove the extension manager and it's work!
Thank You!

Fredo6's Bezier tool includes a polyline. Does this do what you want?

Later: edited to attribute the script correctly (I hope).

For posterity, the proper path is

Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Google Sketchup 6/SketchUp/Plugins

Bjr,

PS: comment transfert-on un topic?

Il faut demander aux mods, on ne peut pas le faire soi-même (sinon tu imagines le b....)

Pour ce qui est du conflit, c'est presque normal puisque mon script reprend une classe et des méthodes développées par J. Gall. Tu peux supprimer son script puisque le mien fait pareil.
A+

I appreciate your trying to help, Susan, but I put this query in the ruby forum because I was soliciting help from other ruby programmers on how best to do this task.

It is easy in SketchUp itself, as you point out, although probably even easier than you suggest because you can probably:

and you have the group.

My problem is that this is much more difficult in Ruby, unless there is a ruby command for #1 and #3 (there is a one line command for #2)

Again, though, thanks for offering your help.

Not realy clear for me yet.
If I understand well, that means "transformation" is usefull for add_instance (f.e.) A kind of insert definition

and "transform!" to modify this instance.

But I'll get use to it. 😄
Thanks both of you for your help.

😆 hihi comme quoi l'habit ne fait le moine 😄

Hi All
thanks for the info...

that may well do it,looks perfect. i've had that plug in for ome time but not noticed that option before,
many, many thanks
all the best

Hello Jean-Franco

It is still under improving! I will keep upload the latest version of the script in youtube(avi file).

Thanks Jim!
Once again, you hit the mark.
First, I missed the ".collect" and get a bug on sketchup.

Have you got any idea what scan order is prefered in the 'do' loop?
Any way to sort the collection?

Collect is a Ruby method that just makes a copy of the selections in an Array.

There isn't any order to the entities returned (that I am aware of.) You'll need to sort them manually, possibly by building another array of only the instances. Then, you'll need to decide what to sort on: definition name, color, position, size?

ok, never mind. i looked at the wikipedia article on ruby and im way out of my depth. i know baisic computer code, but this seems way complicated. you can go ahead and tell me what to do, but i probably wont try. thanks ayways.

Yes, I've seen that too. Thanks for the reminder.

Thanks.

todd,

you were absolutely right. mac A had the latest build whereas B had an older one. i had just to update the older copy of SU to fix the problem.

thanks!

well as I see there is no one avaliable and everything got quiet so I guess they give up from that project.
I found another try on that but they also did not show in a while
