Ruby Documentation - you can help update it!

Thanks for this Todd.

I will make this sticky for a while. (@Mods, please unstick after two months.)

Would it make sense to create a sub-forum for this?

If I had a vote, my vote would be to leave it here. One stop shopping for all your Ruby needs.

For just one post? Please clarify.

Todd has asked for this community to contribute SketchUp Ruby API documentation updates. My thought was that it would be easier for Todd to find and manage these document-related posts if they had their own sub-forum.

On the topic of adding subforums, there is a common consensus - at least among the Moderators - to add as few new forums as possible. We actually prefer to shrink the index even further, but we've arrived at the point where we have ditched all the useless forums pretty much.
That said, once the transfer is complete (just 12 pages to go ladies and gents!) we will shortly introduce User Groups to the board. This is a feature that allows for people to 'subscribe' to whatever forums they want to see on the index. This way people can see as many or as few forums and subforums as they like. If someone wants to see less forums they can just unsubscribe to them, yet maintain full access to them, regardless of their subscription. (Needless to say, these subscriptions are free, as is always the case for everything in the entire SketchUp Community Forums.)

I understand.

In my opinion, everything is working fine. When I have seen discussions that warranted clarifications in the doc, I've updated the doc and mentioned the update in those threads.

What I had outlined above was a fairly formal process, and now I see it really doesn't need to be that formal. So far, the rate of changes hasn't even been close to overwhelming.

I guess now I would suggest that if a discussion occurs where it is mentioned the doc needs updating, and I don't see it and acknowledge that "I'm on it", then someone could PM me to alert me to the thread where the discussion is already taking place.

I've created a bookmark-able search to make it easy to locate the [ruby doc] requests:

http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=10142

If I've missed any doc requests, let me know.

Hello all,
I'm not sur it's the right place but ...
I would like to know if, instead of the default ruby console, it exist a user development interface like in C language, that let you program, debug inline (step by step etc.)
If exist such an "interactive" editor/interface it's really pretty hard to find where.
If it does not it really missing.

A quick forum search for "Debug" should give you a few results.

def ChangeCircleRadius( circle, center, radius )
	pts = Array.new
	curve = circle.first.curve
	curve.vertices.each do | vertex |
		vec = vertex.position - center
		vec.length = radius
		pts << center + vec
	end
	curve.move_vertices( pts )
end

Robert - nice bit of code there.

I added the code tags around your ruby code. The code tags make the formatting a little nicer. Hope you won't mind.

Last but not least - welcome to the forum.

This link leads to lots of dead end links.

Is this still functioning as you describe?

That's an old outdated link.
