      Yes I was confused by the original wording you chose.

      I'm not here much anymore.

        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 1.052

                  parallel 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?

                        Where does this magic number come from?

                          .. and it seems to work in Parallel Projection mode, but not in Perspective mode.

                            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?
