      OBFUSCATORS!

      Your goal should be to write the most readable code possible. This is the opposite.

        大工ですか。すごい。何年前日本に住んだけど。大阪に。それに、私も大工ですよ。面白い、なぁ。
        Anyhow, I'm not advocating for this type of code, though I think it's cool that ruby allows for it. All I wanted was a list of cool lines that one might copy and paste into the console to do something useful. Instead it would seem I've started a flame war or something 😮

          Sorry, but I don't speak a lick of Japanese. I can tell from the first two characters that this was addressed to me, but the rest is lost on me. As a professional timber framer, the Daiku are my heroes. We had a group come to one of our conferences, and the level of skill and craftsmanship was amazing.

          And of course I was only trying to be clever with my first post. Nothing personal 😄

            No offence was taken! 😛 The japanese just says I'm a carpenter too and lived (a short period of time) in Osaka a few years back. I was also not left unmoved by Japanese craftmanship when it comes to woodworking. We even ended up selling one of their products a few years back, here in Europe. http://mitaka.eu/
            It's still the traditional side that gets to the heart 😎

              Why no semi-colons? Seems that we're doing one-statements instead of one-liners then.

                meh..

                view = Sketchup.active_model.active_view ; view = view.zoom 1.052

                parallel projection -> zoom extents -> use the code for true zoom extents…
                i use it sometimes for printing.
                (also part of an applescript i use for easy printing to scale from sketchup)

                  Why not...

                  Sketchup.active_model.active_view.zoom(1.052)

                  Or to include the zoom extents...

                  Sketchup.active_model.active_view.zoom_extents.zoom(1.052)

                  Don't know how to activate the parallel projection though. Anyone?

                    Activate Parallel Projection for the current View's Camera:

                    Sketchup.active_model.active_view.camera.perspective = false

                    I'm not here much anymore.

                        .. and it seems to work in Parallel Projection mode, but not in Perspective mode.

                          Because I don't know ruby 😉
                          I just found something that worked for what I needed.
                          but your version doesn't use a semicolon so I'll make that my thread entry 😄

                            by trying .05... then .06... then .055.. then .054.. etc 😄

                            [edit-- hmm.. just checked my AppleScript and I'm actually using .053 in it.. that's the one I tested with actual paper/printer]

                              I've actually gone and changed my first post so that semi colons are allowed, and have modified your magic formula so the 3 steps are all in one line. I wanted no semicolons to avoid people going crazy with them (you could essentially write a whole program with them in one line of text). How about 3 semi colons maximum?
