Either use 3 successive inputboxes... OR use UI::WebDialog

Hi John, The ear sounds painful! I hope you are recuperating well. Thanks for the workflow. I have got it to work, with SU loading a script automatically (which defines a function to set the current model behavior as I want it) and I call that function in console. It runs slowly compared to the all-Ruby solution - but at least it processes without crash. So I can send lots of files and leave it to run over lunch, or night! Many thanks again, Keith

@tig said: You normally won't need to know why it failed I was thinking more for a standalone debug script to try and find why these edge cases are failing. john

@ktkoh said: Dan that code controls the global axis. I am trying to control the individual component axis visibility. And if you had read the NEXT post after THAT, before posting you would have seen I gave you the instance key as well. Lesson: Read the whole thread before posting.

Thanks it worked!

This post belongs in the SDK forum.

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?

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!
