How to save a model SU 7 (cp1251)

thomthom

hmm... odd.
You can open the file, Sketchup.open_file "c:/названиефайла.skp"
But not save. More odd as you it worked in SU5.
I tried in 7.1 and 6.1 and it didn't work in any there.

I know that SU's ruby implementation doesn't support non-ASCII characters in the file names. But I had tested Sketchup.open_file "c:/названиефайла.skp" which does work, as it calls SU's file methods instead of Ruby's file methods. Though I never tested the save method. Think I'll add this to the bug report.

Add and it

naz_sloya= MODEL.layer.name
             layers = model.layers
             activelayer = model.active_layer=layers[naz_sloya]

I don't understand this one...

And I can't reproduce the identical names on layer either.

sahi

Russian version SU
video_03.rar
The names are a layer "Слой0" - does not see him and creates a new layer with the same name

thomthom

I see. And that snippet of code is producing that?

But what is the first line doing? naz_sloya= MODEL.layer.name
What is MODEL ? An entity?

And why are you referencing the layer name and looking up the Layer object in Layers again?

what about?
activelayer = model.active_layer = MODEL.layer.name

PS: Your tool, in the video I see that it doesn't draw properly. Looks like you haven't implemented .getExtents http://code.google.com/apis/sketchup/docs/ourdoc/tool.html#getExtents

did not help to correct a mistake

# SU 7
model.save "filename.skp" #>> works
model.save "названиефайла.skp" #>> error
cryp = ("названиефайла").crypt("hf")
model.save "#{cryp}.skp" #>> works

it not quite that it was desirable - but it works.

how did you implement it?
The example given in the manual is pretty useless. the clipping only occurs when you draw outside the model bounds - so returning model.bounds,as the example do, is pointless. you must create your own bound that covers the area you draw to.

it is part plugins
create_brik.rar
and it is video (SU 5 and SU 6 (ru)

Within a Tool's class have this


def getExtents
    bbox=Sketchup.active_model.bounds
    bbox.add(@ip.position) if @ip and @ip.valid?
    bbox.add(@ip1.position)if @ip1 and @ip1.valid?
    bbox.add(@ip2.position)if @ip2 and @ip2.valid?
    bbox.add(@ip3.position)if @ip3 and @ip3.valid?
    ### etc
    return bbox
end

where the various @ip's are input points that are called from mouse moves etc, as you move/pick with the tool...
The tool auto-runs getExtents() so you don't do anything else ?
Works for me in my tools
