Model.select_tool "PaintTool"

tomasz

I am wondering whether there is a method to invoke native PaintTool without bringing in the Paint Bucket window?
I have already tested those:

Sketchup.send_action(21074)
Sketchup.send_action(CMD_PAINT)
Sketchup.send_action('selectPaintTool;')

UI.show_inspector("Materials")

If you substitute any 'name' it will open that browser's dialog... but it leaves the current tool unchanged.

He want's to do the exact opposite.
As far as I can tell there is no way to do that. I'd recommend you file a feature request.

There is a feature request to have show / hide / visible? control over the inspector dialog boxes. It should cover it... when it comes...

Looks like a custom paint tool using the same cursor is in order...

Model.select_tool &quot;PaintTool&quot;
