One-liners
-
It does work, in that it adds faces to selected edges.
For me it works, then returns the selection, not the new faces or nil.
I think the initial confusion was that the code had something like "add_faces_to_selected_lines=..." to show what it did, and of course add_faces_to_selected_lines is set to be the selection, I assume this was used because of the arbitrary rule that you can't use a ';' - which makes it impossible to do a one-liner with its intent shown unless you add '#' and then the description at the end of the code line... -
You got it TIG. Could you suggest a way to rephrase the whole "challenge" so it is readily apparent?
-
Yes I was confused by the original wording you chose.
-
OBFUSCATORS!
Your goal should be to write the most readable code possible. This is the opposite.

大工ですか。すごい。何年前日本に住んだけど。大阪に。それに、私も大工ですよ。面白い、なぁ。
Anyhow, I'm not advocating for this type of code, though I think it's cool that ruby allows for it. All I wanted was a list of cool lines that one might copy and paste into the console to do something useful. Instead it would seem I've started a flame war or something

Sorry, but I don't speak a lick of Japanese. I can tell from the first two characters that this was addressed to me, but the rest is lost on me. As a professional timber framer, the Daiku are my heroes. We had a group come to one of our conferences, and the level of skill and craftsmanship was amazing.
And of course I was only trying to be clever with my first post. Nothing personal

No offence was taken!
The japanese just says I'm a carpenter too and lived (a short period of time) in Osaka a few years back. I was also not left unmoved by Japanese craftmanship when it comes to woodworking. We even ended up selling one of their products a few years back, here in Europe. http://mitaka.eu/
It's still the traditional side that gets to the heart

Why no semi-colons? Seems that we're doing one-statements instead of one-liners then.

meh..
view = Sketchup.active_model.active_view ; view = view.zoom 1.052parallel projection -> zoom extents -> use the code for true zoom extents…
i use it sometimes for printing.
(also part of an applescript i use for easy printing to scale from sketchup) -
Why not...
Sketchup.active_model.active_view.zoom(1.052)Or to include the zoom extents...
Sketchup.active_model.active_view.zoom_extents.zoom(1.052)Don't know how to activate the parallel projection though. Anyone?

Activate Parallel Projection for the current View's Camera:

Sketchup.active_model.active_view.camera.perspective = false -

view.zoom 1.052
Where does this magic number come from?
.. and it seems to work in Parallel Projection mode, but not in Perspective mode.

@noelwarr said:

Sketchup.active_model.active_view.zoom(1.052)Because I don't know ruby
I just found something that worked for what I needed.
but your version doesn't use a semicolon so I'll make that my thread entry -

by trying .05... then .06... then .055.. then .054.. etc
[edit-- hmm.. just checked my AppleScript and I'm actually using .053 in it.. that's the one I tested with actual paper/printer]

I've actually gone and changed my first post so that semi colons are allowed, and have modified your magic formula so the 3 steps are all in one line. I wanted no semicolons to avoid people going crazy with them (you could essentially write a whole program with them in one line of text). How about 3 semi colons maximum?
