    You get a NoMethodError because Enumerable does not have that method defined in Ruby 1.8.x. This should do the same, except you pass the array in as the 1st argument: def slicer(ary,num) a2 = ary.dup len = num.to_i.abs until (s = a2.slice!(0,len)).empty? if block_given? yield(s) else puts(s.inspect) end end # until end # slicer() See another example that will collect the slices into an output array, IF a block is NOT given. (Sort of like the opposite to flatten().) If a block is given, it returns an array of the block's return values. Prints to $stdout only if $VERBOSE == true. Fixed absolute call. It is not a Math module function. It is a standard Ruby Numeric instance method.

    SketchUp does that just by writing text to the status bar. a series of | characters to show progress. You can mimic the same behavior, but you do have to re-write it yourself.

    @tt_su said: @onidarbe said: So Sketchup uses IE instead of Chrome, although I uninstalled IE? strange You cannot completely uninstall IE. You may have uninstalled the front-end, but the IE engine is embedded deep into the OS. Help files (chm files) are using the HTML engine, HTA files are also using it. And the embedded HTML IE webcontrol is more conservative in terms of compatibility, which is why you need to use META tags to force WebDialogs to use the very latest IE engine. And because so many things use the system HTML engine I recommend you keep IE up to date, even if you use a different browser. You can never remove it 100% anyway. The "uninstaller" is just a shim to please the public (and EU anti-trust). For Mac users, the equivalent statement is that SketchUp uses the WebKit Framework, not Safari. Just as on Windows, your choice of browser has no effect on what SketchUp's WebDIalogs do.

    @tig said: I know TT has done some 'shortcut fiddling' with some of his tools [VertexTools?], so pressing M is Move [Vertex] in that tool, rather than invoking the native Move, which already uses that shortcut, and will do so when TT's tool is exited... Perhaps TT can explain what he does to allow that... the files re encrypted... I never modified the shortcuts. What I did in Vertex Tools was that I wanted to activate Vertex Tool's Move tool when vertex mode was activated, and the native Move tool when it was not. So I created a method that did that - but the user still had to reassign it's short-cuts to my proxy-delegating command.

    yes, generally this tends to do the trick, but we found that it was a tad faster to have your own lookup table that keeps track of definition relevance. The only downside, is that you are at the mercy of the observer system in that case, but the observers these days seem fairly stable, so that isn't currently an issue.

    @onidarbe said: Seems I need to use Win32API. most probably... for the Notepad++ side of things. I understand more what your doing now... I have a similar setup that uses 'Applescript' and 'Unix' to let me work in 'dev-mode', I struggled to get it to work for many versions. I'm very happy with it now, and it is possibly portable, if you want to have a look I'll PM you a copy... It now functions on a very simple premies. Let SU do the SU bits and only do what it can't with other tools... when you use Sketchup.plugins_disabled = true => 'only' the standard Sketchup.find_support_file("Plugins") are disabled. 'Ruby Console' can be opened from any other other loaded path. I have two different 'loader files' One is in "../Plugins/My_Folder/my_file", it has a cmd that toggles Sketchup.plugins_disabled = true : Sketchup.plugins_disabled = false Then, I use the "Tools" folder to hold a small ruby that basically... [sudo code] my_file = ( Sketchup.find_support_file("my_file.rb", "Tools") ).sub( "Tools", "Plugins") if Sketchup.plugins_disabled? && FileTest.readable?( my_file ) "Sketchup.send_action 'showRubyPanel;'" load(my_file) else ignore_me end john

    rb_intern doesn't return VALUE, it returns ID. Adam, would the same issues for VALUE be valid for ID? I've used to make static const out of ID's I use a lot for easy access and avoid Ruby lookup up for every function call.
