      ToolObservers? How are they related to onClose and onOpen?

      I meant to say, InstanceObservers. πŸ˜›

      In any case, they fire fine for me.

        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?

        I'll ask gai if he can make you a mod for the ruby forum πŸ‘

        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.

                            From Didier's post:

                            Need to add an FAQ for getting to installation directory of SU, for folks trying to build installers (and find out a mac equivalent.)

                              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.

                                http://code.google.com/apis/sketchup/docs/ourdoc/renderingoptions.html#introduction

                                Also, the API doesn't list these:

                                DisplayQueWidth
                                DisplayDims
                                DisplaySketchAxes
                                DisplayText
                                DisplayWatermarks
                                DrawDepthQue
                                DrawLineEnds
                                DrawProfilesOnly
                                DrawUnderground
                                EdgeType
                                FogEndDist*- listed as FogEnd in the API*
                                FogStartDist - listed as FogStart in the API
                                HideConstructionGeometry
                                LineEndWidth
                                LockedColor
                                SectionTransparencyMode
                                ShowViewName

                                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*
                                FogType

                                I tried to be thorough, but perhaps I missed something. It might not be bad to double check my work πŸ˜„

                                      The onExplode method is invoked whenever a component anywhere in this model is exploded. This is an easier way to watch explode events vs. attaching an InstanceObserver to every instance in the model.

                                      The docs in InstanceObserver http://code.google.com/apis/sketchup/docs/ourdoc/instanceobserver.html doesn't mention any explode event. All though, I imagine there used to be. ModelObserver.onExplode is new to SU7, and I'm sure there was an explode related event in SU6. But it's MIA atm.

                                            The mesh method creates a polygon mesh that represents the face. See the PolygonMesh class for more information.

                                            Valid flags are:

                                            * 0: Include PolygonMeshPoints,
                                            * 1: Include PolygonMeshUVQFront,
                                            * 2: Include PolygonMeshUVQBack,
                                            * 4: Include PolygonMeshNormals.
                                            

                                            Add these numbers together to combine flags. A value of 5 will include all flags, for example.

                                            No example given.
