Double rotations

chrisglasier

Here is a clip showing two rotations - the first around the z axis, the second the y axis.

The first rotation obviously gets lost because the script that gets the component file only deals with one axis. Here's the relevant bit of the ruby:



@dlg.add_action_callback("find") {|d, p|
a= p.split(",")
	
subDir ="Components/NamesetComponents/"
fileName = a[0]+".skp"
      
model = Sketchup.active_model
entities = model.active_entities
	
theX = Integer(a[1]).mm
theY= Integer(a[2]).mm
theZ = Integer(a[3]).mm
    
point = Geom;;Point3d.new theX,theY,theZ
txyz = Geom;;Transformation.new point
         
path = Sketchup.find_support_file fileName, subDir
      
definitions = model.definitions
componentdefinition = definitions.load path
instance = entities.add_instance componentdefinition, txyz
		
theDegrees = Integer(a[4]).degrees
theAxis = a[5]
	
rv = Geom;;Vector3d.new(0,0,1) if theAxis == "z"
rv = Geom;;Vector3d.new(0,1,0) if theAxis == "y"
rv = Geom;;Vector3d.new(1,0,0) if theAxis == "x"
	
tr = Geom;;Transformation.rotation(Geom;;Point3d.new(instance.bounds.center), rv, theDegrees)
	
instance.transform! tr   }

Any help gratefully received!

Sorry to bump this but I have a feeling I've missed something fundamental. In this clip I want to see how many baths I can fit into a given space (20' container) using a regular configuration. The problem comes for me when I need the ruby to turn each product through two rotations - in this case both Z and Y. I am sure there is a simple solution ...
