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:

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?

[TIG]

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...
