      I am new to Sketchup extension development. Attached file is part of a dynamic component after getting it exploded. Then I applied the following code:

      
      def self.definition(instance)
          if instance.is_a?(Sketchup;;ComponentInstance)
          # ComponentInstance
          return instance.definition
          elsif instance.is_a?(Sketchup;;Group)   
            if instance.entities.parent.instances.include?(instance)
                return instance.entities.parent
            else
                Sketchup.active_model.definitions.each { |definition|
                return definition if definition.instances.include?(instance)
                }
            end
          elsif instance.is_a?(Sketchup;;Image)
          Sketchup.active_model.definitions.each { |definition|
              return definition if definition.image? && definition.instances.include?(instance)
          }
          end
          return nil # Error. We should never exit here.
      end
      
      mod = Sketchup.active_model # Open model
      ent = mod.entities # All entities in model
      sel = mod.selection # Current selection
      puts ent[0]
      faces =  definition(ent[0]).entities.grep(Sketchup;;Face)
      puts faces
      faces[0].material = "Purple"
      faces[0].vertices.each {|v| puts v.position}
      puts '---'
      f0_v = faces[0].vertices
      for i in 0..f0_v.size - 2
        puts f0_v[i].position.distance(f0_v[i+1].position)
      end
      puts f0_v[3].position.distance(f0_v[0].position)
      
      
      

      The result is not as I am expected:

      
      #<Sketchup;;Group;0x0000024da5ea60b0>
      #<Sketchup;;Face;0x0000024da5ea5f20>
      #<Sketchup;;Face;0x0000024da5ea5e30>
      #<Sketchup;;Face;0x0000024da5ea5d18>
      #<Sketchup;;Face;0x0000024da5ea5cc8>
      #<Sketchup;;Face;0x0000024da5ea5c78>
      #<Sketchup;;Face;0x0000024da5ea5c50>
      (0 mm, 0 mm, 300 mm)
      (0 mm, 0 mm, 0 mm)
      (300 mm, 0 mm, 0 mm)
      (300 mm, 0 mm, 300 mm)
      ---
      300 mm
      300 mm
      300 mm
      300 mm
      
      

      Any one can help me?
      I am sorry for my bad English.

        The result looks good.

        What were you expecting to be different ?

        I'm not here much anymore.
