Ruby & sectionplane

[pgarmyn]

Hi, i'm just starting in ruby.

I'm making a script that combines automatic sectionmaterials and projected information on the sectionplane (like beams represented by pointed lines in architectural drawings).

Is there a way to activate an existing sectionplane in ruby ?

if @@sel[0].class == Sketchup::SectionPlane

what to do here ????

end

And how activating View/SectionCuts in a ruby ?

You have quite quickly discovered a problem with the current API - there are VERY limited methods to access the SectionPlane object...
You can't set/reset the active section by code.
You will have to make some manual connections between active-sections and Scenes... and then perhaps access a scene to activate its section !
You can activate a particular view by making that scene [page] the 'selected_page' under model.pages...

Thanks for the immediate reply.
