Who changed extensions.rb?

Dan Rathbun

Can we use Ruby namespaces to sandbox each plugins view of the SketchUp classes?

Sometimes this works.. many times not.

The major problems are with the Sketchup::Drawingelement subclasses. All the API add entity methods (as well as the Dynamic Components extension,) are hardcoded to only accept exact class names (such as Sketchup::Face,) instead of accepting arg.kind_of?(Sketchup::Face)

So cloning the toplevel Sketchup module into another namespace may not work.

EDIT: But don't let my thots keep you from experimenting ... (I'd be happy to be proved wrong on this.)

Could we just re-write the sunposition plugin and send him an updated copy? It does not re-write that much. I started doing it yesterday, but in the end got in a little bit over my head. Anyone wanna give it a go?

Chris,

I did it actually. See this post, which contains the modified version

May be we should publish it in a place which is more accessible
