How to select without using the mouse
-
Guys, I have a model with 3 faces (face1, face2, face3)
how do i select any of them from the ruby console -
To find faces in a selection
model=Sketchup.active_model ss=model.selection faces=[]; ss.each{|e|faces<<e if e.class==Sketchup::Face}If you have a reference to the 'face'
ss.clear; ss.add(face1)
etc...To find ALL of the model's [active] faces
faces=[]; model.active_entities.each{|e|faces<<e if e.class==Sketchup::Face}Iterate through this array faces as desired...

You know when you select something and it highlights in blue or with dots, can i do that from the ruby console.
What it is i have managed to make a list of faces and identify them with names and display them on a dropdown menu in a webdialog. Now what i want is when the user chooses a face i want it to be highlighted in the model with dots just as if he would click on it.
Do i make any sense? -
Reread my code
ss.clear; ss.add(face1)clears the selection then adds 'face1' to the selection - this IS what you say you want to do.
To test it in the Ruby Console, make a reference to the model, then one to the model's selection [say 'ss'] and use .clear/.add etc as desired... -
Just for references: the API documentation on Selection: http://code.google.com/apis/sketchup/docs/ourdoc/selection.html
All the stuff you can do with selection via SU Ruby API. -
