I want to be in a specific layer

Pauline01

hello,

I work with layer in my plugin.

I create an object, this object must be put on a layer.

I want to be in a specific layer, and not just put visible=false or true.
See in my code after :
#I have 3 layers:"Layer0", "Batiment" and "Gestion de zones", i hide "Batîment"
#I want to be in the layer "Gestion de zone" to create my object
#here "Batiment" is just hidden but i don't arrive to be in the layer "Gestion de zone"

thx.

model=Sketchup.active_model

        #I have 3 layers;"Layer0", "Batiment" and "Gestion de zones", i hide "Batîment"
        #I want to be in the layer "Gestion de zone" to create my object
        #here "Batiment" is just hidden but i don't arrive to be in the layer "Gestion de zone"
	layers = model.layers
	layers.each { |e|

	name=e.name
	
	if name.to_s == "Batiment"
	
		e.visible=false
	
	end
	
	if name.to_s == "Gestion des zones"
	
		e.visible=true
		$gestion_zone_activation=1
	
	end
	}
  # Get "handles" to our model and the Entities collection it contains.
  model = Sketchup.active_model
  entities = model.entities

  # Create a series of "points", each a 3-item array containing x, y, and z.
  pt1 = [0, 0, 0]
  pt2 = [30, 0, 0]
  pt3 = [30, 0, 17]
  pt4 = [0, 0, 17]
  coordinates = [0, 0, 8.5]
  
  # Call methods on the Entities collection to draw stuff.
  # new_face = entities.add_face pt1, pt2, pt3, pt4
  group = entities.add_group
  point = Geom;;Point3d.new coordinates
  group.entities.add_face(pt1,pt2,pt3,pt4)

group.layer = model.layers['myLayerName']

I don't know if your function correspond at my question

Maybe isn't possible, but i have the configuration of my layer like in the screen:

and i want arrive at:

Jim

Do you mean selecting the active Layer?

Sketchup.active_model.active_layer = the_layer

thomthom

Are you changing the active layer because you want to put the geometry you create on that layer?

It's almost always best to leave the active layer as Layer0 and simply assign other layers to things as you make them...
You usually wan to leave 'raw geometry' [edges/faces] on Layer0 - you can then set other layers for Groups/Component_Instances/Text etc to control their visibility...
