      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? πŸ˜„

              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?

                          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.)

                                Give this a go... Could be that we're seeing a sneaky bug...

                                class MyInstanceObserver < Sketchup;;InstanceObserver
                                   def onOpen(instance)
                                     UI.messagebox("onOpen; " + instance.to_s)
                                   end
                                
                                   def onClose(instance)
                                     UI.messagebox("onClose; " + instance.to_s)
                                   end
                                end
                                
                                model = Sketchup.active_model
                                model.definitions[0].instances[0].add_observer(MyInstanceObserver.new)

                                      Scott just found out that it works if the script loads when SU loads. But if you put it a subfolder for instance, and then manually load it, it won't work.
                                      Jim's Observer tests never fire the event in SU7. However, in SU6 it works fine.

                                          Well I'll be! After disabling DCs the onClose even works!

                                          btw, the DefinitionObserver works in SU6. But not SU7. Noticed that when I tested this observer in SU6.

                                            Self note: need to add an explanation of how add_face works in relation to which "side" of the face is inside vs. outside, and document the exception where faces drawn at z=0 are always drawn with inside facing upward.
