      What program can I open an .rbs file with? I'm using this ruby http://rhin.crai.archi.fr/rld/plugin_details.php?id=219 but I'd like to combine a couple of it's different functions into one. I can only assume that it's a fairly simple matter but I'm not sure how to open/edit an .rbs (I tried notepad but it opened as garbage symbols).

        aw, nevermind. I guess an .rbs is a scrambled ruby file? So it's uneditable apperently?

          Have you tried using a text editor?

            An rbs file is compiled/encrypted and does not allow you to mess with its contents.
            Obviously an rb file is plain text and is human-readable/-editable within the constraints of its copyright notices.
            There is a third type which is also rb... BUT when you open it is a lot of gobbledygook... This is a rarer type, encrypted in a simpler form using 'pack'... It prevents casual reuse of the author's code BUT it is readily 'crackable'...
            IF you have this file type and a legitimate aim, then I could perhaps advise you on 'unpacking' the code - but please use PMs as it's not something for the masses...

              Thanks for the help TIG. If someone went through the trouble to encrypt it I'd hate to go in and crack it (even though I'm sure my aim, isn't the reason they encrypted the file). I'd see if I could get ahold of D. Bur but it's probably not even worth that since I don't even know if what I was going to try is as easy as I was hoping. I've gone ahead and just set up a couple shortcut keys for the 2 functions I'd hoped to combine and that'll do me just fine I reckon.

                'Unpacking' a packed rb file is relatively easy.
                'Unscrambling' an rbs file is all but impossible...

                  If you do make an unpacking program, I'd like a copy ๐Ÿ˜†

                    Hi,
                    What are the two functions you'd like to combine ?

                      Hey Didier, missed your post. My original thought was to combine the Create Materials from Layers function followed by the Apply Materials to Objects function as part of a Revit to SU workflow.

                      It's less of a need than I originally thought though. I originally thought I'd need to do this each time I reimported the updated Revit model. But actually I only need the Apply Materials half of the equation after the first time since the materials already exist. If you think it would be of any value to others to combine the functions I'd love a copy. Otherwise, the separate functions actually work fine for what I'm doing now.
