    Hey all,

    I have a log file that I need to read using ruby. From that log file, I generate a bunch of 3d coordinates. I know there is a 3D warehouse with an assortment of objects. Once I choose one (for example, a humanoid) how do I go about setting its coordinates?

    My goal in the end is to be able to move it around using a set of coordinates (essentially looking like a small animation)

    Your help is much appreciated! I am a newbie to all of this.

      Just wondering if anyone's had a similar try with Sketchup, and if so how I go by doing it (through Ruby of course)

      Thanks in advance

        Hi Bender,

        Have you seen this ruby yet?
        The only problem of course is that you cannot export the animation (yet) unless with a screen capture device (just like with Sketchy Physics).

        Gai...

          Thanks for the reply. I've taken a look at that plugin, but from my understanding it is very discrete in the sense that you can only "move" an object a discrete number of times through the use of the "transformations" option in the right click menu.

          I however am reading a log file with possibly hundreds of coortdinates, and what I want to get from sketchup is a way to position a 3D object and set its coordinates as I am reading the log file. I mean, it should be quite simple to set its coordinates, then update them and get rid of the old ones etc...

          Is there not a way to do this through the ruby script?

          Thanks in advance.
