Dimension text
-
Hi !
Access to "dimensions" entities informations via scripts seems really hard in Sketchup ...
How can you access to the dimension text ? Modify it ? Start point of the dimension ? end point ? Line weight ? Arrow ? etc...
Is it a block ? A group ? Can't explode it...Please Help me !!!
Thank you ! -
Currently you can't insert or edit dimension entities or their settings with Ruby.
A script work-around is to insert a component [skp file] that is simply a dimension drawn from the origin say 1 unit long in the x (red), with the text-style/arrow-style preset as required, your script then inserts it at picked-point 1, and then the script rotates/scales it in its length etc to suit picked-point 2 etc. The dimension shown updates accordingly.

Why not just uncheck the box in Window>Model Info>Units?

Thank you ! I also wanted to make a script that removed unnecessary zeros (if the dimension result is an integer...)
225.00 => 225
225.20 => 225.2
225.25 => 225.25
But I think now it's not possible.
Thank you Dave ! -
I no little of Ruby but you are probably right. Dropping the zeroes as needed may not be possible. Perhaps that should be a wish list item for the next version of SU.
Cheers,
Dave
