Ruby Gems?

ThePromenader

Hello,

I understand that SketchUp uses its own version of Ruby in its own environment, but is it possible to use Ruby Gems with it?

I read elsewhere in another thread that it may be possible to use installed gems if they are moved to the Sketchup Plugin directory, but with this method all gem dependency directories must be re-created there also... is there a simpler way around this?

Thanks, best,

ThePromenader.

I don't know Ruby Gems, but it's dead simple to have a Plugins Ruby load /whatever/else/you/want.rb.

I found something that in the end could lead to a way of using ruby gems with SketchUp Ruby
http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/15#page101
and
http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/3#page83
I could not understand too much from that, but I hope that somebody will refine that in a easy to use manner.
