      Is it that I'm blind or what?
      I've read: ....As mentioned previously, Ruby provides an extensive range of math related methods. This is in some information on the internet. But I can't find anything in Google SketchUp Ruby API, or anywhere in the documentation.
      Could someone please point me to a list of all Math related methods and constants in the API?
      Very much appreciated.

        This is a list of most functions outside of Skethcup's own...
        http://www.ruby-doc.org/docs/ProgrammingRuby/html/builtins.html

        Math functions are here...
        http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/classes/Math.html

        Also Math::PI give 'pi' and rand gives a random number 0 to 1 or rand(5) 1,2,3,4 or 5

        This site has most available standard Ruby Modules, Classes and Methods...

          That's the 1.9 docs - 1.8.6 is here: http://www.ruby-doc.org/core-1.8.6/classes/Math.html
          1.9 docs lists many methods and classes that doesn't exist in 1.8.

            ...AND as thomthom points out Sketchup uses the older Ruby 1.8 version and not the current 1.9...
            Sorry for the mis-link... however, I suspect that you will hardly be using anything more than the most basic sin/cos/tan/sqrt etc anyway...

              Thanks TIG and Thomas.
              I noticed the newer version, yes. But what a relief, these list
              Much better than the few I had mentioned in the short list I had.
              Thought I was going insane, running around in circles.

                  So it seems this was the only thing that bothered you. Good.
