      This seems like it should be fairly trivial, but for the life of me I can't find the answer I'm looking for so I'm counting on you guys to come through for me. Here is my problem, I want to create a plane that is exactly 1 meter square as in this example:

      pt1 = [0,0,0]
      pt2 = [val,0,0]
      pt3 = [val,val,0]
      pt4 = [0,val,0]
      
      my_face = entities.add_face [pt1, pt2, pt3, pt4]
      

      I need to figure out the relationship between the unit system sketchup uses and meters. Does anyone have a clue as to how I can do this?

        Sketchup uses inches, but provides methods so you can use any measure you like -> http://code.google.com/apis/sketchup/docs/ourdoc/numeric.html

        
        val = 1.m # 1 meter
        pt1 = [0,0,0]
        pt2 = [val,0,0]
        pt3 = [val,val,0]
        pt4 = [0,val,0]
        
        my_face = entities.add_face [pt1, pt2, pt3, pt4]
