<![CDATA[Help in SketchUp UI research]]>I need to write a small script for an research experiment we're doing using SketchUp

http://www.anirudh.me/projects/mm-cad

  • A small bar on the top right corner of Sketchup that shows a notification when an event has occurced . Example, ON SWITCHING tool TO CIRCLE, "it must show a text "CIRCLE SELECTED" there.
    On swithing to push/pull( "PUSH PULL ACTIVATED")

(Those who've used Growl Notifications http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/disable-growl-notifications-in-cyberduck-300x157.jpg will understand what i mean)

Please let me know how to go about it.

Thanks

I can think of 2 ways... but all start with creating a ToolsObserver.

  1. Simple on-screen text. Fairly easy, but limited to only plain text.

  2. WebDialog - could show more detailed info including images, but slightly harder to implement.
