@ktkoh said: sdmitch I am trying to learn from you code. How is the smoothing only applied to the edges created by the add arc? It needs some English description if you will!! Keith I save the vertices, vrt1 and vrt2, at the beginning and end of the arc. Then I look at all the edges associated with those vertices and eliminate all that are not the proper length. This leaves me with a single edge that is softened.

Very amazing! [image: logo.png] Official site! TaoDyne Documentation is fabulous! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fvi29XAo4SI

InputPoint returns the transformation, if any, for the face you clicked on. Simply apply that tranformation to the vertices of the face to get the real world coordinates. rwc = @ip.face.vertices.map{|v| v.position.transform(@ip.transformation)}

[off:2cqiik2n]I've suggested Gecko a number of times. Yes, each time I have to implement a WebDialog, knowing it will be a pain in the <bleep>,.. I put it off for as long as possible. I'd prefer for native dialogs that Qt worked inside SketchUp. I think that development and maintenance on WxWidgets has stalled.[/off:2cqiik2n]

Thanks a lot for the replies. The code actually draws it the way I would draw it manually. Thanks!

I would need the deltas, and know whether the material is HSL shifted or tinted - something the Ruby API doesn't expose right now. But we have an issue open to address that.

It's in my architecture list. I'll put in a warning.

Yep, just now ran into this after installing GoPro. This solution fixed it. Many Thanks !!!

@jp2009 said: How do you stop Sketchucation from downloading XML documents? It keeps doing this? There's an issue with the recently updated PluginStore Extension when used in Chrome. Disable that extension under Settings, until it is fixed... Breaking news... v1.3 of that Extension was released today, it should fix the issue, so install that to update things, and those xml errors should be no more...

For animations it's best to use the Animation class instead of using sleep() and forcing a screen refresh. http://www.sketchup.com/intl/en/developer/docs/ourdoc/animation

The C API allow you to read and write files. For .NET integration you would have to create a wrapper that bridges the two.

Thank You Very much.

Try the groups' .bounds if they 'touch', then some_group.bounds.max.x OR .y OR .z and some_other_group.bounds.min.x OR .y OR .z might be coincident ?? Especially if the are simple boxes...

There is no way to force a statusbar text to stick around. It's normally set by the active tool, but also by menu and toolbar items. Do you have a sample snippet that demonstrate the issue?

Thanks again TIG! I am very grateful. I knew I was missing something, but was pretty much stumped. Thanks for putting me back on track, and so quickly. Cheers

I'm sorry I have tried that .. but that is not what is in my mind.. I just want the text to follow the line even if I move one point only . . doing this manually is possible.. but not for ruby scripts I think..

Hi John, many thanks for your quick reply. It was really helpful. I am now using the command line of winzip in my Powershell script, as you have proposed. The generated RBZ file is now working on my MAC also. Thanks a lot for your help. Sonja

great - that's what I was looking for anyway

**It works!**Thanks a lot, you saved my weekend!
