Function "Command" From lisp
-
Hi every body !
Before using sketchup, which became completely indispensable
, I used autocad and its language Lisp. The lisp contains a very interesting feature: the "command" function.
It allows you to use all tools autocad in the running. All the arguments are replies to messages orders.
Example : (command "_line" "0,0,0" "10,0,10" "50,50,50")
And to close the line command : (command "")Do you think it would be possible to create a similar function in ruby?
PS : Sorry for that frenglish !!!

SU has a language built-in for a similar purpose. Its called Ruby.
At the console you can execute Ruby commands to create geometry etc.
eg
Sketchup.active_model.entities.add_line([0,0,0], [3,1,4])
adds a line to your model.
Sketchup.active_model.entities.add_text "Allez Les Bleus", [5,6,7]
adds some "camera-facing" text at coordinates 5,6,7
etc etc
http://download.sketchup.com/OnlineDoc/gsu6_ruby/Docs/ruby-classes.html for every function.

Hello AdamB !

yes, I know these methods.
"Command" function can use ALL the existing commands... AND also user commands... Very interesting !

For example How can you add a dimension...
Thank you for your answer !

Hi Matt,
Pas possible d'ajouter des cotes (no way to add dimensions).

Hello Didier !

Sketchup.send_action 21410But I can't control the action process !
For example, to find the dimension between 2 points given by the program... Not by the user !Any idea ?
-
Hi,
In fact, send_action just performs an action which doesn't need any user input, or selects a tool (afaik).
If you want to get the distance between 2 points, you don't need dimensions for that (d=p1.distance p2). If you want your script to draw a dimension, I think this is impossible.
I hope I'm wrong... -

Ok ! Thank you Didier ! -
an "entmake" in lisp ! Ok, thank you ! I will try it, even if I don't know the method !
thank you TIG !

Hi Didier, is this going to be your next (and shortest) SU ruby plugin to get rid of us before we even started?

I hope I'm wrong...Getting distances between two points is easy as stated...
You CAN'T make dimensions direct from Ruby, BUT you can make a dimension-component.skp (or a set of various ones) that are stored in a Plugins sub-folder - these have a 'base' length, your script then has you pick two points - it places the component at p1 and rotates it to towards p2 and also scales it by the required factor p1_to_p2 : base... Point p3 could be an offset and scale approproiately for this....

Hello !
It's strange Ruby can't answer to a Sketchup pending command ! I would like to create a tool for continuous dimension. Acad like !
1- Draw a simple dimension
2- Retrieving the last basis point of the first dimension
3- draw a dimension with the first basis point already given.If I understand, we must re-program dimension tool ??
-
Can I do smt with the observer tools ?
When a user action is done, the observer returns the action ??? And we just have to send the action to the tool... no ?

The blokes at HQ would make life a lot simpler if they could provide simple GET functions (GETPoint,GetAngle,GetDistance etc.) - quite difficult and probably beyond many to do in Ruby with a tools class. If only they would apply the Sketchup 'simplicity' ethos to the API.

I agree 1000%
