      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/"
            

            Lately you've been tan, suspicious for the winter.

              Any ideas about a way to mark these errors as they are fixed?

                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.

                      add polygon detail just repeats the add_point example.

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

                        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? 😄

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

                        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?

                            Dead as in: I never see it trigger.

                                    Scott, there's no way to give edit-rights on a single topic. So you get edit rights to the whole Ruby Forum.

                                    If you have a list of changes, we can take care of marking them fixed. I'd hate to see you spend time doing it if you have more important work to do.

                                    Hi

                                        Hmm... When I tried to implement it in my plugin the onClose never fired. I also tried Jim's observer test script: http://sketchuptips.blogspot.com/2008/03/plugin-oberver-tests.html - and that never fired either. Could you post a working sample where onClose fires? (The onOpen always works though.)
