How to display Tree structure

[Mcdull]

I have set attributes to all entities,then i want to generate a tree sturcture like this
buliding
|_____room1
| |____wall
| |____floor
|room2
|
|.....

and this tree can shrink as we can see as usual,such as explorer, is there any method to produce it in sketchup with ruby api?

[Mcdull]

the wall level and floor level should conect with room level, the previous stucture displayd not well in the page...

Webdialog?

Use the ruby markup - that will display the text in fixed-width text.

` |_____room1

	____wall
	____floor
_____room2
_____.....`

To use webdialogs you need knowledge of HTML, CSS and JS. It's not something I can teach in a single post. Best would be to look up some tutorials on the net.

"tree.rb"?

Here's a little machine that I like to give an airing every now and again. The idea is similar to yours but I have used animation to handle cumbersome tree structures. But take note of the others' advice, it ain't easy to achieve.

You can also use the SKP "Simple Extrension" API to put your tree structure into a C++ list box.

Here is a sample we use to display component categories and select components for placement.
