      It is like observers. It doesn't actually have to be a subclass to work. Any object that replies to the nextFrame callback can be used as an animation.

      Isn't observer like that as well? I realised once that I had used the wrong observer class as a base, but the observer still worked.

        Yes, that's how observers are as well.

            I have a lot of catch up to do. I have a paper copy here that I've marked as I update. I'll remerge that back into the forum soon.

              A small thing, just noticed a typo that I don't think is already covered. The entry for EntityObserver.onChangeEntity method states:

              @unknownuser said:

              The onEraseEntity method is invoked when your entity is modified.

                Scott: I think it's worth to also add some notes on the observers that aren't working. Especially those that seem to cause bugsplats. http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=20676

                  I'm not sure if you've caught this yet, but transformation.xaxis, yaxis, and zaxis return vectors, not points.

                    The Model collection some times doesn't list all the materials when you call .each on it.

                        The following was agreed, in http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=21502 to correctly document WebDialog.new.

                        Alternate to the API docs, with help. This is for PC:

                        title - string - This text will appear in the title bar of your WebDialog

                        scrollable - boolean - This is a NOP. You get scrollbars, regardless. Workaround: <body scroll=no>.

                        key - string - If this is nil or an empty string, your dialog's size/location is stored in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Google/SketchUp7/WebDialog_". You should definitely include here the name of your Ruby, which will be concatenated:
                        "HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Google/SketchUp7/WebDialog_MyRuby"

                        width, height, left, top - integers - size/location, in pixels, of the first appearance of your WebDialog. All subsequent appearances will be taken from the registry entry.

                        resizeable - boolean - if false, your user cannot resize the dialog. Defaults to true, if omitted.

                            Topic: WebDialog.new

                            The second parameter, scrollbars, appears to be operational on the Mac. PCs get scrollbars, regardless.

                              Just a general request for the API docs. When viewing a method which references another class, would it be possible to link to that class? For example, you are the viewing Model.bounds description - it would be nice to be able to jump right to the BoundingBox class.

                              Thanks.

                              Hi

                                I wonder if we should lock this list and start a new one for 7.1?

                                    Entity.typename
                                    http://code.google.com/intl/nb/apis/sketchup/docs/ourdoc/entity.html#typename

                                    I think it's worth noting here that .typename comparison is slow and should be avoided if possible. Ref: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=19576&st=0&sk=t&sd=a#p166340
                                    .typename is required if you need to identify entity types that don't have ruby API classes, such as DimensionLinear, DimensionRadial and Polyline3d. And if you scan for these that you check for entities of class DrawingElement before you do a .typename comaprison.
