      Dont pretend your not in on it as well πŸ˜„

      on a more serious note, it seems a shame to miss out on the ever so powerful ruby based capabilities of sketchup, so i thought i'd try my hand at it and see if i got anywhere.

      I reckon i could just about right a box making script at the moment πŸ‘ just as long as you dont want to change your box at all...

        Seems that InstanceObserver.onClose is dead as well. http://code.google.com/apis/sketchup/docs/ourdoc/instanceobserver.html#onClose
        But onOpen works.

          And there it stops. Doesn't actually display an example.

                   # This is an example of an observer that watches tool interactions.
                   class MyToolsObserver < Sketchup;;ShadowInfoObserver
                     def onActiveToolChanged(tools, tool_name, tool_id)
                       UI.messagebox("onActiveToolChanged; " + tool_name.to_s)

                   Sketchup.active_model.tools.add_observer(MyToolsObserver.new)
              
              

              Note that it refers to Sketchup::ShadowInfoObserver instead of Sketchup::ToolsObserver.

                Does this list work 'across-platforms' - my understanding was that PCs and Macs differ ?

                If there are such codes it makes like a lot easier...

                Some "wrong": Sketchup.send_action 21513 >>> opens the Outliner ???

                  The manual says the argument should be either true or false, but the example sets it to 3.

                    The FAQ page lists some sites that carry/catalog ruby scripts. the Sketchucation extensions index (thanks to Jim!) would also be a great resource to add to that list now

                      It'd be nice if the ToolsObserver listed the full list of tools IDs.

                      I've begun a list here which associates constants to the IDs for convenient use in scripts: http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=18124

                        In the back of my mind I have the idea the the tool id's were not reliable and shouldn't be used; but I can't remember why.

                          I thought is was the tool names as on Mac the first four characters where truncated? No?

                            http://code.google.com/apis/sketchup/docs/ourdoc/componentinstance.html#definition

                            The ComponentInstance.definition example does not include the method in the example anywhere, so by definition it is not really an example.

                            This is the given example:

                             point = Geom;;Point3d.new 10,20,30
                             transform = Geom;;Transformation.new point
                             model = Sketchup.active_model
                             entities = model.active_entities
                             path=Sketchup.find_support_file "Bed.skp",
                               "Components/Components Sampler/"

                                We could ask Coen to have a strike-through BBC tag. [deleted] or something...
                                Or, put a big fat FIXED in bold green. Might be easier.

                                  From Image.explode:

                                  entitiesarray     an Array object of entities if successful
                                  

                                  which I interpret as the face and edges created in the explosion. However, the result from my testing always returns an empty array.

                                        Thomas,

                                        I'm about to push an update with all of the recent changes above. This one puzzled me, though. The ToolsObserver examples work fine for me on the onOpen and onClose. Can you clarify what "dead as well" means? πŸ˜„

                                        Tig, these action codes only work on the PC, but I still think I'll add them to the docs. There are some cool things in there that PC-only shops might need.

                                        Thanks, guys! New update should be live in the next day or so.

                                          Jim, is there a way that I could be granted edit rights just to this thread? Then I could add a FIXED note inside the reports as I correct them?
