Advanced Tutorial?

Trumpetto

Hi to all,

I'm a programmer and starting to use Ruby to create SketchUp models. I'm familiar with modeling terms and can create a model by hand. I'm a Blender-user and program with python in there.
I can also create a staircase and walls now.

Does anybody know of a good advanced tutorial for creating models with Ruby?

Thanks, Trumpetto

My suggestion would be to download some ruby scripts that do things similar to what you want to accomplish, and go through them line by line along with the API (in case some things don't make sense). If it still doesn't make sense after looking at the API (unfortunatly, that is quite possible due to the state of the documentation), ask here, and someone will try to help.

I came from an AutoCAD/AutoLISP background, and what I suggested to you is what I did - pored over example scripts to see what they did and how they did it, and learn the nuances of the SU-specific ruby methods.

That's about the only tutorial available, at least for now.

Thanks, I'll do just that!
