        Are you asking this because you downloaded MSPhysics from Gitchub, which requires AMS Library 1.1.0? Well, if that's the purpose, you'll have wait until its finished.

            Doesn't seem to work with SU2015 64bit. Hope that will be fixed soon!

              I don't want SU Viewer installed, but I keep getting the following error whenever I start up 2015:
              "SU Window Settings extension requires AMS Library! Download AMS Library, extract it into the Plugins folder, and then restart SketchUp. Click OK to proceed to the library's homepage."
              There is no Plugins folder for 2015, and I have uninstalled SU Viewer from the extension warehouse.

              How do I get rid of this error message?

              Thank you,

                Since SU2014 the plugins folder was changed to AppData location. To get rid of the plugin, copy this path to your explorer:
                %appdata%\SketchUp\SketchUp 2015\SketchUp\Plugins

                From there, delete the following:

                1. ams_Lib.rb and amsLib folder.
                2. ams_WindowSettings.rb and ams_WindowSettigns folder.

                I will get this thing compatible with SU2015 and prevent the message from showing up each time...
                Sorry for inconvenience.

                      Can I ask you a question?How do you make a *.html files does not display a dialog box in SketchUp ?just like the ams_WindowSettings.I think it is very cool.So ,if possible ,can you give a simple example?

                        Ying2014, here is a code snippet which allows you to remove borders from the dialog:

                        
                        # Create a web dialog
                        @title = 'MyDialog'
                        @dialog = UI;;WebDialog.new(@title, false, 'MyDialog', width, height, ix, iy, true)
                        # Add Callbacks
                        @dialog.set_on_close(){
                          @dialog = nil
                          @handle = nil
                        }
                        # Set file
                        @dialog.set_file(html_path)
                        # Show dialog
                        RUBY_PLATFORM =~ /mswin|mingw/i ? @dialog.show ; @dialog.show_modal
                        # Find dialog handle
                        @handle = AMS;;Sketchup.find_window_by_caption(@title)
                        # Remove dialog caption and borders
                        if @handle
                          layered = AMS;;System.get_windows_version < 6.0 ? 0 ; 0x00080000
                          style_ex = 0x00010000 | layered # WS_EX_CONTROLPARENT | WS_EX_LAYERED
                          style = 0x94000000 # WS_POPUP | WS_VISIBLE | WS_CLIPSIBLINGS
                          AMS;;Window.lock_update(@handle)
                          AMS;;Window.set_long(@handle, -20, style_ex)
                          AMS;;Window.set_long(@handle, -16, style)
                          AMS;;Window.lock_update(nil)
                          AMS;;Window.set_pos(@handle, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0x0267)
                        end
                        
                        

                        Basically, what it does is creates a webdialog, finds its handle, and removes its borders. Along with removing borders it adds a layered style, which allows it to be made transparent.

                        To make the dialog draggable, you'd have to implement a few callbacks in your javascript file that would respond to mouse click and mouse move. Here is a snippet:

                        
                        function callback(name, data) {
                          if (!data) data = "";
                          window.location.href = "skp;" + name + "@" + data;
                        }
                        $(document).ready( function() {
                        
                          var md = false;
                          var pos = [0,0];
                          var dragged = false;
                          
                          // Detect Drag.
                          $( "#some_id" ).mousedown(function(e) {
                            md = true;
                            var x = e.clientX;
                            var y = e.clientY;
                            pos = [x,y];
                            callback("drag_start", null);
                            dragged = false;
                            return false;
                          });
                          $( document ).mousemove(function(e) {
                            if (!md) return;
                            var x = e.clientX;
                            var y = e.clientY;
                            var dx = x-pos[0];
                            var dy = y-pos[1];
                            if ((dx == 0) && (dy == 0)) return;
                            dragged = true;
                            callback("drag", "["+dx+","+dy+"]");
                        	return false;
                          });
                          $( document ).mouseup(function(e) {
                            if (md) {
                              md = false;
                              callback("drag_end", null);
                        	  return false;
                            }
                          });
                        });
                        
                        

                        In the code above, "#some_id" has to be changed to any id of an element in your HTML. It can also be changed to document to respond to drag anywhere in HTML.

                        Then have these callbacks implemented in SketchUp:

                        
                        @offset = [0,0]
                        @dialog.add_action_callback('drag_start'){ |dlg, params|
                          c = AMS;;Cursor.get_pos
                          d = AMS;;Window.get_origin(@handle)
                          @offset = [c.x - d.x, c.y - d.y]
                        }
                        @dialog.add_action_callback('drag'){ |dlg, params|
                          c = AMS;;Cursor.get_pos
                          x,y = [c.x - @offset.x, c.y - @offset.y]
                          AMS;;Window.set_origin(@handle, x, y, false)
                        }
                        @dialog.add_action_callback('drag_end'){ |dlg, params|
                          @offset = [0,0]
                        }
                        
                        

                        To change dialog opacity, use this function:
                        AMS::Window.set_layered_attributes(@handle, 0, opacity, 2)

                        To make the dialog clip to screen and snap to viewport, you'd have to add more ruby functionality and modify dialog position in the 'drag' callback. I would advice looking into ams_WindowSettings/main.rb for source.

                            Description

                            AMS Library is a collection of tools and functions used to interact with SketchUp window and its sub-windows using Microsoft Windows API. It's capable to switch SketchUp full screen, show/hide toolbar containers, status bar, scenes bar, and more elements of the window. It's also capable to observe and make decisions to various events of the window procedure. In many ways, this library is written to achieve things that cannot be done with standard SketchUp API.

                            This library includes Ruby FFI and and Win32 API extensions as part of the utility. Both of these gems are recompiled under my own name-space for compatibility with other extensions. I do not take ownership of such gems, nor I claim any credit for them. I just happen to rely on them so much that it was essential to include them in the library.

                            Requirements

                            • Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, 7, or 8
                            • SketchUp 6 or later
                              Usage

                            Yardoc Documentation

                            Download

                            • Available at PluginStore
                            • ams_Lib_2.2.0.zip
                              Extract content into the Plugins folder!

                            It is a great lib!

                            one question:

                            when i use swo_on_maximize ,like this
                            class MySketchupObserver
                            def swo_on_maximize
                            r=AMS::C.get_viewport_rect()
                            p r
                            end
                            end
                            AMS::Sketchup.add_observer($o=MySketchupObserver.new)

                            I found get_viewport_rect returns the value of viewport before maximized.

                            So, can you provide a method like swo_on_maximized, will be called when maximize complete?

                            thank you for the great lib!

                              That's a good idea. I will add swo_on_post_[event] methods in the upcoming version.

                                Hi Wikii. I added the post-events.
                                You should try out this example in Ruby console:

                                class MySUWindowObserver
                                  def swo_on_maximize
                                    puts 'swo_on_maximize'
                                    p AMS;;Sketchup.get_viewport_rect()
                                  end
                                
                                  def swo_on_post_maximize
                                    puts 'swo_on_post_maximize'
                                    p AMS;;Sketchup.get_viewport_rect()
                                  end
                                
                                end # class MySUWindowObserver
                                
                                my_obs = MySUWindowObserver.new
                                AMS;;Sketchup.add_observer(my_obs)

                                  Hi Anton_S !

                                  It works well in my pc.
                                  It is really cool!

                                  Thank you for your working.

                                  But I have one question more:

                                  When I use win+left or win+right to fill Sketchup to half the size of the screen, which observer call catch this operation?

                                  Thank you!

                                    Currently, no observer catches such operation, but if you want to track window moving and resizing, you can always use swo_on_enter_size_move, swo_on_size_move, swo_on_exit_size_move, or/and swo_on_viewport_size. Check out available observers here: http://www.rubydoc.info/github/AntonSynytsia/AMS-Library/master/AMS/SketchupObserver

                                      Hello, when I updated to 3.0.0 WindowsSettings didn't work any more, I had to delete both AMS Lib and WindowSettings and reinstall them to make it work again. Just thought I'd mention it in case anyone else has this problem.

                                        I am not entirely sure, because I have not used SketchUp very much recently, but this plugin could be causing crashes for me, since I only noticed this happening after I installed the new version and it seems to have stopped since I deactivated it (and the Windows Settings plugin with it).

                                          Thanks for your feedback Pherim. It would be nice to know more details about the crash, so that I could fix it in case it came from that plugin:

                                          1. What Windows version and SU version were you using?
                                          2. Were you using AMS Library 3.0.1 and AMS Window Settings 4.2.0 - the latest versions of these plugins?
                                          3. When did the crash occur? Did it occur right away or after some time of using SU?
                                          4. What were you doing at the time the crash occurred? Like, what tool were you using or what command were you accessing?
                                          5. What is the list of other plugins you have installed?

                                          Your response would be greatly appreciated,
                                          Anton

                                            Hello,

                                            1. I'm using Windows 7 Professional 64bit and the newest version of Sketchup Make 2015 64bit.
                                            2. Yes, both plugins were up to date. I am completely sure about this as I had to uninstall both and then reinstall them via the plugin store to make it work at all... just updating both plugins somehow did not work, as I wrote in the post before. I also updated it to 3.0.1 after I wrote this post.
                                            3. I am not entirely sure, and right now I am unable to reproduce the crash... it's just that I noticed suddenly that when I changed the tool the cursor would not change as it was supposed to, and also the old tool would still be highlighted in the toolbar. And then, as soon as I right-clicked on a component (well, at least it was a component or group at least some of the times it happened), Sketchup crashed instantly. Well, at the moment it doesn't seem to happen even with your plugins active, but I'll be on guard about it.
                                            4. Quite a lot I'm afraid... Though so far, they all worked fine together, and so did the old versions of your plugins.

                                            At the moment everything seems to be fine. If this changes, I'll get in touch again.
