is this an exception? [as in a mac thing...]
> Sketchup.send_action('viewPerspective;') true > !Sketchup.send_action('viewPerspective;') falsejohn
Edit:
I've been looking for a replacement forSketchup.send_action('viewParallelProjection:')which returns True, but doesn't 'switch views' on mac.
**!**Sketchup.send_action('viewPerspective:')does, I'm wondering if it also 'switches views' on PC or would I need to have both in a cross platform script.EDIT Edit:
Sketchup.send_action('viewParallelProjection:')is working now?
it not on the list, but I had tried it... maybe I had a typo...So does
Sketchup.send_action('viewParallelProjection:')work on PC's... john -
Sketchup.send_action('viewParallelProjection:') does not work on the PC. It returns true or false but does not change the view.
Sketchup.active_model.active_view.camera.perspective = false This command will change based on the true or false value

No action for the Follow Me tool? (That works on both platforms.)

don't know what works on a PC, but since your probably missing the mac one...
Sketchup.send_action('selectExtrudeTool;')I'll add this to my list...
I've got a osascript test runner, for running the lot if you want it...
john -
Excellent! I didn't realise that was it's internal name. Doh!
Yea, run the lot and see what you get.
-
I think early versions of SketchUp called it the 'Extrude Tool', later it was renamed 'FollowMe' but the original 'coded' name remains - which is like 'Scenes' are really 'Pages', 'Guides' are really 'Clines' etc, and other foibles that you can probably list too !
-
Yea - there's lots of legacy strangeness to discover when traversing the API.

possibly new for v2013 on mac at least
Sketchup.send_action('closeDocument;') Sketchup.send_action('newDocument;') Sketchup.send_action('saveDocument;') Sketchup.send_action('openDocument;') Sketchup.send_action('printDocument;')@Dan, thanks for the trigger to test them...

Some of those have been around BUT 'undocumented' for some time [v8M2].
The 'saveDocument:' is particularly useful because callingmodel.save(model.path)does NOT save the model BUT returns 'true'.
So if you want to ensure the model is saved before saving it as another name, that send_action is needed...
Here's a list that I have for those v8M2 changes - some were documented but * == undocumented & ! == broken on MAC:
addBuilding: !
copy: *
cut: *
editDelete: *
getCurrentView: *
getModels: *!
getPhotoTexture: !
newDocument: *
openDocument: *
paste: *
placeModel: *
printDocument: *
saveDocument: *
select3dTextTool: *
selectionZoomExt: *
shareModel: *!
showRubyPanel:
uploadComponent: *!
viewShowGuides: * -

Is there any action to edit a group/component (similar as double clicking on a group)?

No.
I have PM'd you a suggestion with a method usingview.pick_helper.path_at[-2], to select the picked object's container, then using the [forced open]Outlinerto open that now selected group/instance for editing... -
Has anyone found a cross-platform string to send the model to Layout ?
On the PC only this works:
