      I know that many UI boxes is absolutely silly but that's my way of debugging because I know no other way! pls recommend any other method for debugging!

      Output the values to the Ruby Console, use the puts method. puts "Hello World"

        yes i tried doing that,, but strangely the answer in ruby is always right but not in sketchup! so i figured something must be wrong in the code or in sketchup! hopefully its my code because that'll be easier to fix

          You are aware of the Ruby Console window in Sketchup, right? That's the one I'm referring to. That will let you see the values you get from the script running in SU's Ruby.

              There are people that have worked out how to hook up debuggers to SU's ruby. But I've so far managed by using the Sketchup Ruby Console to output data throughout the script when I need to debug errors and abnormalities. It's the Sketchup Ruby Console that most people here on this forum will be referring to when they mention the Console.

                  For most people here, the Sketchup Ruby Console is the debugging tool. Some are also using Jim's custom console which has some extended features.

                    FYI, I'd never used Ruby before I started making plugins for SU. And I only recently installed a normal Ruby installation on my computer - never touched a full Ruby installation before.

                    So there's no wonder we're getting confused here. 😄

                        I write in Notepad++ and use the regular Console to debug. Reload the changes by typing load "rubyfile.rb" into the Console. Crude - but it works. Though there are cases where I really wish I could step through the code...
