I think we all have our shining moments, and I'm certainly no exception

@bomastudio said: Sketchup.send_action("printDocument;") Where you find it?? In the Code Snippet post: Re: [Code] Sketchup.send_action() : Arguments to Lots of snippets indexed here: [Code Snippets]

That was a copy paste mistake. I don't know how it is on OS X. If pixel doubling is used, I'd expect existing webdialogs work without change, but the above points wouldn't hurt. I don't know if it can set anything inbetween. The same goes also for devices like the Toshiba Kira where the manufacturer added pixel doubling etc.

Thanks Dan Rathbun running as admin worked!

Obliquely... Have you also noticed this [reported] bug in v2013 ? Win7 - but others might get it too... Open SketchUp v2013 Arrange some floating toolbars on screen - native, native-rb [like dcs] and plugin. Minimize SketchUp. Context-menu close it from the Task-Bar. Reopen SketchUp v2013. Native toolbars are where you left them. All native-rb and plugin toolbars have been 'deactivated' ! Bummer...

@tig said: I did write a whole raft of 'missing' layer methods... I just thought I'd let you learn by doing... I learn by looking at what you wrote !

New working URL: http://sketchup.com/intl/en/developer/docs/classes.php Hope they fix this so the old URLs doesn't break permanently.

@dan rathbun said: Yes. DL is Ruby bridge to using dynamic compiled libraries. On PC, before DL, we had to use the Win32API library. Interesting topic What about the win32-api 1.4.8 by Daniel J. Berger, Park Heesob? In dl you load the dll file once and then extern as many functions. <span class="syntaxdefault">dlload</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">(</span><span class="syntaxdefault">Sketchup</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">.</span><span class="syntaxdefault">find_support_file</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">(</span><span class="syntaxstring">"NewtonServer3.dll"</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">,</span><span class="syntaxstring">"plugins\\SketchyPhysics3\\"</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">))<br /></span><span class="syntaxdefault">extern </span><span class="syntaxstring">"void init()"<br /></span><span class="syntaxdefault">extern </span><span class="syntaxstring">"void stop()"<br /></span><span class="syntaxdefault">extern </span><span class="syntaxstring">"void update(int)"<br /></span><span class="syntaxcomment">#...<br /></span><span class="syntaxdefault"> </span> But, in win32api.so and win32-api you load the library every time you create a function, right? <span class="syntaxdefault">api </span><span class="syntaxkeyword">=</span><span class="syntaxdefault"> AMS</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">;;</span><span class="syntaxdefault">Win32</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">;;</span><span class="syntaxdefault">API<br />newton </span><span class="syntaxkeyword">=</span><span class="syntaxdefault"> File</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">.</span><span class="syntaxdefault">join</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">(</span><span class="syntaxdefault">dir</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">,</span><span class="syntaxdefault"> </span><span class="syntaxstring">'lib/Win32/newton.dll'</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">)<br /></span><span class="syntaxdefault">  <br />Create  </span><span class="syntaxkeyword">=</span><span class="syntaxdefault"> api</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">.new(</span><span class="syntaxstring">'NewtonCreate'</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">,</span><span class="syntaxdefault"> </span><span class="syntaxstring">'PP'</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">,</span><span class="syntaxdefault"> </span><span class="syntaxstring">'P'</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">,</span><span class="syntaxdefault"> newton</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">)<br /></span><span class="syntaxdefault">Destroy </span><span class="syntaxkeyword">=</span><span class="syntaxdefault"> api</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">.new(</span><span class="syntaxstring">'NewtonDestroy'</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">,</span><span class="syntaxdefault"> </span><span class="syntaxstring">'P'</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">,</span><span class="syntaxdefault"> </span><span class="syntaxstring">'V'</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">,</span><span class="syntaxdefault"> newton</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">)<br /></span><span class="syntaxdefault">Update  </span><span class="syntaxkeyword">=</span><span class="syntaxdefault"> api</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">.new(</span><span class="syntaxstring">'Update'</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">,</span><span class="syntaxdefault"> </span><span class="syntaxstring">'P'</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">,</span><span class="syntaxdefault"> </span><span class="syntaxstring">'V'</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">,</span><span class="syntaxdefault"> newton</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">)<br /></span><span class="syntaxdefault"> </span> Am I thinking right? Which one is better dl or win32-api?

Thank you TIG as always and I will look into your recommendation ASAP!

Boolean / Oscoolean ?

Thanks TIG. Your variant is probably more than I need for the moment, but still very clever. And I presume (since nobody mentioned it already) quite safe to use ?

Thanks TIG! I will give up on that idea and go # the second script! See you in a year! Thanks for the quick reply! Stuart

Very grateful indeed!

For bezier curves, or surfaces it's easier - as the mesh is generated from a set of few control points. Round corners base itself on existing geometry - problem arise when you start manipulating the mesh after rounding it. For Bezier Surface I plan to implement a modifier stack.

Hi, Thank you guys so much could not do it without you guys!...Here is the latest update for Animatex; http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=52238 There is no scrambler for code so you guys can take a peek and will be grateful if you tell me any inefficiency in code so I can keep learning...cheers!

@thomthom said: I see this from time to time. Usually it's a result of using imported geometry from for instance DWG/DXF files with some minor precision problems that appear to cascade throughout the model. Maybe CleanUp: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=22920 But it won't prevent the problem from re-appearing. The root cause if probably precision problems. Use imported geometry as a guide, but don't model directly off it. Don't trust it to be square or parallel. Thank you so much for the input Thomthom. This is actually quite helpful. ^.^

Understood!

My pleasure. There may be more to it I'm not aware about. So don't forget to report back if you find something useful

Thanks it was the thing I was looking for
