@pomelo3d said: a question. For me, as a user of sketchup, are the advantages of ruby 2.0 That plugin can be created with ruby 2.0? It means that developers of plugins have a newer platform with better features to develop for. The inclusion of the standard library is probably bigger than the version bump - but again this is first and foremost benefits for the developer. The immediate advantage for the end user is that Ruby 2.0 finally support handling files with non-english characters - which was a big limitation. This also meant we finally could move the Plugins folder out of Program Files and avoid permission problems which haunted us and users. Oh, and Ruby 2.0 is supposedly faster - though we've not tested this our self.

SU2014 supports StandardLibrary, which supports fiddle. You could use it to export DLL functions.

There is also an approach without making changes to entities: One could also use a repeated raytest, and let it pass through all faces whose material has an alpha value lower than a threshold, or a texture whose filename endswith "png" (however, scripters can not determine which texture pixels are transparent). Then the last face would be added to the selection.

@dan rathbun said: Attach a model observer and provide onDeleteModel and onEraseAll callbacks that output something to the console. Thanks again! onEraseAll does fire on Windows when opening another model, but not on OS X unfortunately. Interestingly enough, I also can't get it to fire on erasing all objects. onDeleteModel doesn't seem to ever trigger. I'll focus on other issues for now, this one can wait.

I made a Bitbucket repo for this code before the Model2Gcode site went offline. My intention is only to preserve the code. https://bitbucket.org/jimfoltz/model2gcode

Here is a video on making a bifold door http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJkfzj9epI4

I've now made a simple video of the door maker. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBeug0CTA7k

And depending upon version, either the relative or absolute path, or both script path(s), (sometimes downcased,) were pushed into the $LOADED_FEATURES array. Sometimes we need a table to keep track of things like this from version to version.

It is OK, goga. We love a good debate!

So the Alert shows that it caught the error, but evidently I don't know how to read out the message. BTW, I added that "Hello!" just because a blank dialog leaves me wondering if anything happened. Steve

@d0n said: Thanks which function should i look at if i want to get all the vertices of the face? http://www.sketchup.com/intl/en/developer/docs/ourdoc/face.php#vertices

face.outer_loop returns a Loop object. Loop object will return vertices in order and it will return EdgeUse objects in order. If you have an Edge and want to figure out it's direction in relationship with a face you must use edge.reversed_in?(face).

@jim said: You have an extra space in this line: ang_def.set_attribute 'dynamic_attributes','_test_options[highlight=#ff0000:169f3gnp]_[/highlight:169f3gnp]','&yes=yes&no=no' Yes, thanks! All has earned.

@tig said: It's ' commit_operation' NOT ' confirm_operation' - my typo - it's now corrected in my earlier code... You can manually select objects including instances, and just the instances' definitions will be processed. You can only add 'entities' to a Selection [like geometry or instances] in code. NOT a 'definition' - which is NOT an 'entity'... Thanks you sir! That works perfectly! I should of caught that but I just figured it was a command I didn't know of yet!

@jeff hammond said: @unknownuser said: How do you make plug-ins for sketchup me? by begging I do not know, but maybe this can help you: http://www.alexschreyer.net/projects/sketchup-ruby-code-editor/

There is, yes. But the C API isn't finalized either. It's still being developed and we are improving it to make it have a similar coverage as the Ruby API.

@daiku said: @jeff hammond said: . (is this a ruby question or an ill_located thead?) Am I not in the developers forum? yes, you are. every thread isn't always started in the right forum though and your question could be answered in a sketchup way or a ruby way.. the first answer to your question was how to figure it out in sketchup. hence my question. [+, many members (myself included) browse the forums via the 'new posts' or 'active topics' lists so sub-forums aren't always so obvious since we're basically seeing all forums in one view.. some confusion is bound to happen here&there.. it's ok]
