Crossing lines break automatically

Matt666

Hi all!

When you draw a line that crosses another line on the same plane, both lines are split where they meet.

Just one question: Is it possible to temporarly stop this method by ruby?
This is one of new fonctionalities in SU 7.
Thank you!

require 'sketchup.rb'
def break_edges_toggle()
  model=Sketchup.active_model
 model.start_operation("Break Edges Toggle")
  breaks_edges=Sketchup.break_edges?
  if breaks_edges
    Sketchup.break_edges=false
  else
    Sketchup.break_edges=true
  end#if
  puts "Sketchup.break_edges= "+Sketchup.break_edges?.to_s
 model.commit_operation 
end#def
if not file_loaded?(File.basename(__FILE__))
  UI.menu("Plugins").add_item("Break Edges Toggle"){break_edges_toggle}
end#if
file_loaded(File.basename(__FILE__))

Copy/paste this into a new Ruby file in your Plugins folder called something like 'break_edges_toggle.rb'. You could shortcut the command that's in the Plugins menu to say 'B' to toggle the line breaking. The Ruby Console tells you the current status of the toggle.

I didn't realise there was a $ script already ! Sorry RickW... but my version is out there now... $5 x X for a few seconds work ?
