My Ruby Questions

CadFather

looking at the ruby documentation i noticed there are only some of the commands

i'm trying to find the command to bring the shadow settings dialog box up.

anyone with this info - and if yes..where does one find unlisted actions?

Thanks

=============

SECOND QUESTION: can i call a script from a custom command (or icon), even if the script is scrambled? say skin and bubble..

@unknownuser said:

where does one find unlisted actions?

I've done a loop in a script which increment action numbers and send them to Sketchup.
Many bug splats occured of course...
