      Hello Didier !

      Regarde la mΓ©thode send_action pour le peu qu'on peut faire (take a look at send_action method)

      Sketchup.send_action 21410
      

      But I can't control the action process !
      For example, to find the dimension between 2 points given by the program... Not by the user !

      Any idea ? πŸ˜‰

        Hi,
        In fact, send_action just performs an action which doesn't need any user input, or selects a tool (afaik).
        If you want to get the distance between 2 points, you don't need dimensions for that (d=p1.distance p2). If you want your script to draw a dimension, I think this is impossible.
        I hope I'm wrong...

              Hi Didier, is this going to be your next (and shortest) SU ruby plugin to get rid of us before we even started? 😲 πŸ˜• --> 😠

                Getting distances between two points is easy as stated...
                You CAN'T make dimensions direct from Ruby, BUT you can make a dimension-component.skp (or a set of various ones) that are stored in a Plugins sub-folder - these have a 'base' length, your script then has you pick two points - it places the component at p1 and rotates it to towards p2 and also scales it by the required factor p1_to_p2 : base... Point p3 could be an offset and scale approproiately for this...

                .

                  Hello !
                  It's strange Ruby can't answer to a Sketchup pending command ! 😞 😲 πŸ˜•

                  I would like to create a tool for continuous dimension. Acad like !
                  1- Draw a simple dimension
                  2- Retrieving the last basis point of the first dimension
                  3- draw a dimension with the first basis point already given.

                  If I understand, we must re-program dimension tool ?? 😲

                    Can I do smt with the observer tools ?

                    When a user action is done, the observer returns the action ??? And we just have to send the action to the tool... no ? πŸ˜•

                        The blokes at HQ would make life a lot simpler if they could provide simple GET functions (GETPoint,GetAngle,GetDistance etc.) - quite difficult and probably beyond many to do in Ruby with a tools class. If only they would apply the Sketchup 'simplicity' ethos to the API.
