      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.

        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.

        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.

                In any case, they fire fine for me.

                  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

                    Hi Scott, I have sent you a PM, too, about it. The mods have also be informed to welcome you in the team.

                      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.

                                Just wondering if you have Dynamic Components on, and what happens if you turn them off?

                                  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.

                                        BoundingBox.valid?

                                        text says

                                        status
                                            true if the bounding box is valid (not empty), false if it is not valid (empty)
                                        

                                        but the code example has it exactly the opposite:

                                         bbox = Sketchup.active_model.bounds
                                         status = bbox.valid?
                                         if (status)
                                           # If true, bounding box is empty.
                                         else
                                           # If false, bounding box contains entities.
                                         end

                                          The introduction to RenderingOptions class states:

                                          @unknownuser said:

                                          The majority of the rendering information returned exists in the Model Info > Display section of SketchUp.

                                          There is no longer a Model Info > Distplay section of SketchUp. I suppose it should say its in the styles inspector or something like that.

                                          Also, the API doesn't list these:

                                          DisplayQueWidth
                                          DisplayDims

                                          FogEndDist*- listed as FogEnd in the API*
                                          FogStartDist - listed as FogStart in the API
                                          HideConstructionGeometry

                                          And the API lists these which don't appear to be valid:
                                          DisplayFogEdges
                                          FogDensity
                                          FogEnd - appears to actually be FogEndDist
                                          FogStart*- appears to actually be FogStartDist*
