      Hi Guys

      I was wondering if it was possible using ruby, to get the name of the skp file that is currently open in sketchup.
      I have had a look through the api but have not had much luck finding what I was after.
      Any help would be appreciated

      Brett

          assume: model = Sketchup.active_model

          Instance method: model.path

          • Returns the full pathname, if the model has been saved, or an empty String if not.
            Instance method: model.title

          • Returns only the SKP name (filename only MINUS the extension,) if the model has been saved, or an empty String if not.* Equivalent to: File.basename(model.path).split('.')[0]
            File.basename(model.path)

          • Will return the full filename (including extension,) if the model has been saved, or an empty String if not.
            See also: model.modified?

          if model.path.empty?
            # model is UNSAVED
            if model.modified?
              # model may need to be SAVED
            else
              # model is a NEW unmodified SKP
            end
          else
            # model WAS saved at some time
            if model.modified?
              # model may need to be SAVED
            else
              # model file is sync'd with that
              # which is currently loaded.
            end
          end
          

          %(#4000BF)[Edited for clarity: (04 AUG 2010, 4:22 GDT)
          Added model reference assumption, and use of: File.basename(model.path)]

          I'm not here much anymore.
