      Good day,
      I have a job in college and need to put a "watermark" on a wall or object, to signal that that object/wall was already modified. Anyone know any Ruby API the code that do this?
      I managed to leave this mark on the floor, but I would like to put on the wall and/or object
      Thank You

            slbaumgartners answer was/is very interesting. Is there a way to erase all instances of the component from the model, after the "watermarks" are no longer required with a single or few commands?

              All the water marks can be on a layer that you turn on or off. You could even date the layers for progress watermarks. (ok...who could be bothered?)

              The use of components seems a good choice since you are not altering the model geometry in any way. Easy to tag objects in one click.

                Thanks for responding. I was trying to put into practice and better understand what he said.

                I tried to first use this code:

                model = Sketchup.active_model
                path = "Plugins"
                image_file = Sketchup.find_support_file("c.jpg", path)
                image = model.active_entities.add_image(image_file, ORIGIN, 30)

                And then the Face.get_glued_instances
                but the two code only the image on the floor and I can't take to the walls.

                  I woke up with that thought. Thanks for confirming!
