Create Geometry

I am new to Ruby for Sketchup, I have experience with AutoLisp for AutoCAD, and my question is probably very simple, but if I want to automate a drawing, example a stairs, in AutoCAD I select a point on screen with the Getpoint function.
I am looking for the Getpoint function in Ruby.
Second question, after I get a point on screen, how can I insert a component at this point?
Thanks

sdionneI don't think there is a "Getpoint" equivalent in Sketchup. To do something like this you need a "Tool" that uses "InputPoint" to capture the cursor location. You can find information regarding both of these in the Sketchup Ruby API Documentation, http://www.sketchup.com/intl/en/developer/docs/.
The attached plugin is a simple example of how this might be done.
