hi,
i went thru the api and forum,
but did not find a clear syntax for a 2nd level submenue:

plugins

ruby

submenue

sub_submenue

i know from ather rubies, that it is possible. but how?

thanx

The method <Sketchup::Menu>.add_submenu(<String>) → <Sketchup::Menu> is called on an existing upper-level menu and returns a submenu (which is of same type as any normal menu).
The method <Sketchup::Menu>.add_item(<UI:Command>) → <Fixnum> is called on a menu (or sub- or subsubmenu) and adds a menu item.

So of course you can apply the methods repeatedly, ie.

command = UI;;Command.new("a command"){ puts "command executed" }
# Get a reference to one of SketchUp's top level menus;
toplevel_menu = UI.menu("Plugins")
# This is a Sketchup;;Menu!

# And add an item;
toplevel_menu.add_item(command)

# Or add a submenu;
submenu1 = toplevel_menu.add_submenu("first level submenu")
# This gives again a menu!

# And add again a submenu;
submenu2 = submenu1.add_submenu("second level submenu")

# And add an item;
submenu2.add_item(command)

.. but for some reason (known only to the Trimble team,) the reference for submenus is only valid during the loading of the file.
