Call sketchup api through process?
-
Dears,
I'm developing an applications that use isight as gesture input to
control the cursor in c++.
I wanna extend my project by implement with sketchup.
My question is, I want to call sketchup ruby api from my apps-e.g.
sending an x, y or coordinate parameter to sketchup to draw a
rectangle or something. Is it impossible or how can I implement my
project?any comments will be appreciated!!!
Thanks in advanced!

I am not much of a Ruby programmer, but I'll bet it can be done. Look at the 3DConnexion input controllers for Sketchup. Its an aftermarket piece of hardware that allows you to control the camera in Sketchup. Its really a neat piece of hardware. That combined with one of the Augmented Reality plugins for Sketchup, and I would imagine that you have the ingredients to make this happen.
Do you have more details as to how this is going to work?

Are you sending mouse events to SketchUp?
Or do you want to translate gestures into SketchUp commands?
If the latter, then you might be able to use the Ruby API or the C++ SDK API?
