Load file

[rubine]

path=Sketchup.find_support_file "rectangle#1.skp"
does not work, even if I add the full path of the skp file as second parameter

Does someone have an idea why this does not work??
If I put the skp file in the plugin folder it does not work either.

rubine,

It looks like the optional folder argument is not optional. It finds the file if it is in the "Sketchup 6" folder. So, I guess it doesn't actually find the file for you. Sounds like a bug to me.

path = Sketchup.find_support_file "rectangle#1.skp", "Plugins"

or

path = Sketchup.find_support_file "Plugins/rectangle#1.skp"

Although I don't know if the second example is portable.

And the documentation is incorrect where it says it returns false - it return nil.

[TIG]

path = Sketchup.find_support_file "/Plugins/rectangle#1.skp"

works (with /), as does...

path = Sketchup.find_support_file "rectangle#1.skp"

IF it's in the base SUp folder

(PC only)

is there also a possibility to store components automatically in a folder (as an .skp file)?
