Get/Set Image and Group glue_to ?

[thomthom]

ComponentInstance has .glue_to - but Image and Group does not despite that they can be glued.
And Face has .get_glued_instances which does list Images and Groups attached.

Is there a workaround to glue or unglue Image or Group entities using the API?

class Sketchup;;Group
  def real_parent
    if self.entities.parent.instances.include?(self)
      return self.entities.parent
    else
      Sketchup.active_model.definitions.each{|definition|
        return definition if definition.instances.include?(self)
      }
    end#end
    return nil # Should not happen.
  end
end
class Sketchup;;Image
  def real_parent
    if self.entities.parent.instances.include?(self)
      return self.entities.parent
    else
      Sketchup.active_model.definitions.each{|definition|
        return definition if definition.instances.include?(self)
      }
    end#end
    return nil # Should not happen.
  end
end

Now use these to find the 'component-instance' of a group/image - e.g. of say the group you want to 'unglue'...

group.real_parent.instances.each{|ins|
  if ins == group
    ins.glued_to = nil
    break
  end#if
}

I haven't tried this but something like it should work...
EDIT: tried it it fails !
