Color the DC conditioning on its attributes & values (MYSQL

blue_orchid

UI.menu("Plugins").add_item('Assessment') { Jeny.color }


module Jeny
    def self.color
require 'mysql'
dbh = Mysql.real_connect("localhost", "root", "...", "test",3306)

dbh.query("drop table if exists inspection")
dbh.query("create table inspection(component varchar(20), ID int(4), rating int(1))")
dbh.query("insert into inspection values('deck',2345,1),('Substructure',2349,2),('Superstructure',2353,3)")
printf "%d rows were inserted\n",dbh.affected_rows

res = dbh.query("SELECT id, rating FROM inspection")
while row = res.fetch_row do

a=row[0]
b=row[1]
c=row[2]

printf "%s, %s, %s\n", a, b, c
end

puts a.inspect
puts b.inspect
puts c.inspect

 Sketchup.active_model.entities.to_a.each{|e|
         if e.get_attribute('dynamic_attributes','id','')=="2345"||(b=='2345') || (c=='1')
then e.material = 'red'
end
  }
 Sketchup.active_model.entities.to_a.each{|e|
          if e.get_attribute('dynamic_attributes','id','')=="2345"||(b=='2345') || (c=='2')
then e.material = 'yellow'
end
  }
 end
end

In the above code, what I did....
color the DC
which has attribute 'ID' = 2345
b==2345 ( b=id from database)
c=1(c=rating in database)
with red color.

And similarly Dc
which has attribute 'ID' = 2345
b==2345 ( b=id from database)
c=2 (c=rating in database)
with yellow color.

Problem is that
1.it accepts only the last code, so it changes the object to yellow color not to red color..

I even tried using 'case and when' control structure
for example
%(#4000FF)[Sketchup.active_model.entities.to_a.each{|e|
case e.get_attribute('dynamic_attributes','id','')=="2345"
when b=='2345' || c=='1'
then e.material = 'green'
end }]
But it didn't work...

Can anyone tell me what the appropriate control structure is?

Hey Blue Orchid, I've moved this post to the "Developers Forum" (like I did you're previous one as well).

You'll get much more response by the people who regularly check that forum, than the regular SketchUp forum.

Looks like your making progress on your script. You need to write a tutorial on how to integrate MySQL into SU when you get a chance - even better would be MySQL-Lite (well, I think).

Good luck,

Chris

%(#FF0000)[Sketchup.active_model.entities.to_a.each{|e|
if e.get_attribute]

Don't know if there is some speciality in your script, but must not you define |e| ?

Like: if e. is kind of? Sketchup::Someentity OR if e.class Sketchup::SomeentityAnd the put the arguments/conditionals..
Just guessing.. Could be different in your case...

Joel, That IS, in fact, the declaration of local variables to the block, within the " |" delimeters.

The each method automatically passes the iterator into the block, referenced by the var defined ( e in this case.)

@Jeny... outdenting makes your code very hard to read. All blocks should indented.

Your use of case is wrong.
The case clause declares the "object" to use FOR comparison (on the right of a === operator,) but not the comparison(s) themselves.
The while clauses declare the value that goes on the left of a === operator.

More like:

Sketchup.active_model.entities.to_a.each{|e|
  this = e.get_attribute('dynamic_attributes','id','')
  case this
  when '1','37','89'
    e.material = 'yellow'
  when '2345'
    e.material = 'green'
  when '' # empty
    e.material = 'orange'
  else
    e.material = 'blue'
  end
}

Dan Rathbun

Jeny, the coloring should go inside your while block that fetches each record from the database.

Also, you can speed things up by
ents = Sketchup.active_model.entities.to_a
and then use the ref ents until anything is added or deleted from the model.

You can also narrow down ents to only elements that are DCs:

ents.reject! {|e|
   e.class!=Sketchup;;ComponentInstance ||
   e.definition.attribute_dictionary('dynamic_attributes').nil?
}

jolran

Oh yeah that's true, Dan.

I missread the codeblock..

Dan, can you show me how to use while block for coloring?

No. You would not learn anything if I did your work for you.. and I wouldn't get paid.

while (c=='1'){
Sketchup.active_model.entities.to_a.each{|e|
e.get_attribute('dynamic_attributes','id','') == "2345"
        e.material = 'green'
    end}}

Dan, I know it's not the correct way to write the code as it failed. I tried.

Dan Rathbun

Try something like this:

#
# put requires outside the module
require('sketchup.rb')
require('mysql')

module Jeny

  def self.colorize
  
    colors = ['black','red','yellow','green']
    
    dbh = Mysql.real_connect("localhost", "root", "...", "test",3306)
     
    dbh.query("drop table if exists inspection")
    dbh.query("create table inspection(component varchar(20), ID int(4), rating int(1))")
    dbh.query("insert into inspection values('deck',2345,1),('Substructure',2349,2),('Superstructure',2353,3)")
    printf( "%d rows were inserted\n",dbh.affected_rows ) 
     
    res = dbh.query("SELECT id, rating FROM inspection")
    
    ents = Sketchup.active_model.entities.to_a
    # remove non-DCs
    ents.reject! {|e|
       e.class != Sketchup;;ComponentInstance ||
       e.definition.attribute_dictionary('dynamic_attributes').nil?
    }

    ents.each{|e|
      eid = e.get_attribute('dynamic_attributes','id','')
      unless eid.empty?
        found = nil
        found = # lookup row in dB with field id == eid
        if found
          e.material = colors[ found[2] ]
        end
      end #unless
    }

    # close dB connection !!
    
  end #def
  
end # module Jeny

unless file_loaded?(File.basename(__FILE__))
  UI.menu("Plugins").add_item('Assessment') { Jeny.colorize }
  file_loaded(File.basename(__FILE__))
end

Dan,

I used the script that you have written.
No color change in the components.

Chris Fullmer

Are the components already colored? Or are the internal faces colored already?

Did you finish line 32 ??
and replace line 39 ?

I am not a SQL person, so I cannot test it for you.

blue_orchid

Chris,

components are colored with ruby script. I did not the paint the component with any color in the sketchup itself.

I hope i answered your question.

I also tried the same script in the components which don't have any color. But it didn't work.

blue_orchid

Dan, I am sorry that I did not understand your question?

replace line 39 with:
dbh.close()

line 32 is NOT complete.
YOU need to finish it so it looks up a record in res

It's a example, I have no way to test it myself.

When I run this script, the component with id '2345' does not change its color, but the other component changes its color to red. Why is this so?

You still do not understand how to use the case statement, your better off using a if .. elsif .. else .. end block.

And.. once again your coloring is after the iteration of the dB (outside the while block,) so your only going to be acting upon the LAST record from the dB.

How experienced are you at:

Ruby?

SQL databases?

Experience using any other programming languages?

blue_orchid

i am not at all experienced in any programming language and mysql. Ruby is my first programming language. I have gone through several ruby guide, but still i am having hard time learning it and working on it.

i am just doing it for a project and i am really having a hard time doing it.
