API to Open Model Info Dialog?

draftomatic

Hello everyone, it's been a while. I like the site redesign!

I am wondering if there is a hook in the API to open the native Model Info dialog box, ideally with the geolocation page selected. My goal is to have a button on a toolbar that opens the geolocation page.

Is this possible? Thanks.

there already is a geo-location icon..

it's at the bottom-left corner of the drawing window.

Yes ... UI::show_model_info("Geo-location")

I believe the API panel arguments are still bugged on the Mac, but work on PC.

As Jeff said there is a built-in button (brown circle with a light bulb inside it. At least it looks like a light bulb to me.)

If you wish to open the "Add Location ..." map dialog (the same as clicking the first button on the Google toolbar.):
Sketchup::send_action('getCurrentView:')
