Changing units format via ruby
-
is there a way to change the unit format via ruby?
[say i'm set to architectural -> feet but i want to switch it to decimal -> inches]
and while i'm at it, how about a way to switch the precision as well?
thanks

Yes there is - you can control both those and the 'snapping' to.
There's a tool to swap units - Toggle-Units...

oh right, i have that plugin.
basically though, what i'm wondering, is if there is something i can type into the ruby console to do this..
(apparently there is since that plugin was made but it would take me 3 days to dissect the code and figure out what to type into the console
)i've looked through the api documentation but apparently i missed the part dealing with units.
thanks -
The units part of the API is well hidden away!
Here's a 'mm' version BUT you can see how to do in 'inches' one...
` Sketchup.active_model.options["UnitsOptions"]["LengthUnit"]=2mm`
OR use 0=inch, 1=feet etc...
` Sketchup.active_model.options["UnitsOptions"]["LengthSnapEnabled"]=truegrid snap on
Sketchup.active_model.options["UnitsOptions"]["LengthSnapLength"]=10.mm
or whatever
Sketchup.active_model.options["UnitsOptions"]["LengthPrecision"]=1
1.5mm not 2mm or 2.01mm
Sketchup.active_model.options["UnitsOptions"]["SuppressUnitsDisplay"]=true
don't show 'mm' etc
Sketchup.active_model.options["UnitsOptions"]["LengthFormat"]=0
Decimal`
OR use =3 for fractional, =2 for Engineering, =1 for Architectural...
