      Not to mention that the example at the bottom of the method does not actually include the method of linear combination. It only shows:

       vector1 = Geom;;Vector3d.new 1,0,0
       vector2 = Geom;;Vector3d.new 0,1,0

        PolygonMesh.add_polygon

        The example shows how to use the add_point method.

          Wish we had red pens to scribble on the docs. πŸ˜„

            Great idea, really. I'm sure there are browser plugins that allow social sharing of sticky notes, or comments on web pages.

              Oh, yea... at least for Firefox. I mean to remember something like that.

                Could this be something? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2792
                Anyone tried it? Or got better solutions?

                  Point3d.project_to_plane:

                  http://code.google.com/apis/sketchup/docs/ourdoc/point3d.html#project_to_line

                  Shows the wrong example code (uses from project to line). and I know I gave the link for project_to_line. Its so you can see both methods simultaneously and see the error better. Thanks!

                    So far I am really truly enjoying the new docs. They feel much better, thanks for the efforts to get them to where they are. I'm also excited that changes might be able to happen faster now too, that is great.

                    I'm noticing that sometimes in the methods list, when I click on a method, it takes me to the class index for that method. Other times it willtake me directly to the entry for that method within the class. I prefer the latter. But I don't know why sometimes it does one thing and sometimes it does another,

                      It doesn't mention how to allow drop-down options by using a third array with strings separating each option with a pipe | character.

                        You can do a dropdown box?

                          UI.inputbox ['Hello'], ['World'], ['Mars|Pluto|World|Monkeys'], 'Title'

                          "Global Material Changer" and "Component Spray" uses it. That's the only way I knew it was possible.

                            Sure, and I made this to ease the pain a little: http://sketchuptips.blogspot.com/2008/03/inputbox-class.html

                                It says:

                                    The y= method is used to set the z value of a 3D point.
                                

                                That second line should say "The z= method..."

                                  Face.area actually takes an optional argument. I'm not sure what the argument is. It accepts pure numbers which then seems to be a scale factor. But it also accepts Transformation objects.

                                        Tool - onMouseMove example has a bad local variable.
                                        http://code.google.com/apis/sketchup/docs/ourdoc/tool.html#onMouseMove

                                         def onMouseMove(flags, x, y, view)
                                           puts "onMouseMove; flags = " + key.to_s
                                           puts "                 x = " + x.to_s
                                           puts "                 y = " + y.to_s
                                           puts "              view = " + view.to_s
                                         end
                                        

                                        The variable "key" should be replaced with "flag" I think. That makes the example work.

                                          The code example:

                                          
                                           model = Sketchup.active_model
                                           entities = model.active_entities
                                           pts = []
                                           pts[0] = [0, 0, 0]
                                           pts[1] = [9, 0, 0]
                                           pts[2] = [9, 9, 0]
                                           pts[3] = [0, 9, 0]
                                          
                                           # Add the face to the entities in the model
                                           face = entities.add_face pts
                                           tw = Sketchup;;TextureWriter.new
                                           uvHelp = face.get_UVHelper true, true, tw
                                          
                                          

                                          This will return the error:

                                          @unknownuser said:

                                          Error: #<TypeError: (eval):95:in `get_UVHelper': wrong argument type (expected Sketchup::TextureWriter)>
                                          (eval):95

                                          Instead of tw = Sketchup::TextureWriter.new, the method tw = Sketchup.create_texture_writer will work.
                                          Which leads to another questions: why can't tw = Sketchup::TextureWriter.new be used as in the example?

                                            The manual claims that a Model is passed on as the argument, but instead it's the ComponentInstance. I have not tested the rest of the ModelObserver events to see if they also match.
