      Hello,

      I would like to use the animation ruby sample of sketchup ("animationtests.rb") and control the variables of the camera position from another, self written C++ program. To do so, I would like to implement the ruby gem library "mmap" which is a memory mapped file (IPC=Inter process communication).
      This IPC is a very easy solution to change a variable from any other software.
      Is it possible to use this library with sketchup or is the ruby interface of sketchup limited??

      Best regards
      SirNoName

        The camera is easy to position using Ruby and the API. Watch the first 30 seconds of my Airshow! movie for a good example.

        What is the requirement for a separate C++ program?
