VCB greyed out
-
I'm making a fairly simple script called Thicken, thats basically a wrapper for JPP. My problem is that the VCB is greyed out - even after putting in enabledVCB?
Does anything stand out here (I removed the guts between start_operation and commit_operation for debugging purposes)?
### NOTE; Dev. halted - couldnt get Measurements (VCB/Value Control Box) input working require 'sketchup.rb' require 'extensions.rb' require 'jointpushpull.rb' thickenExt = SketchupExtension.new "Thicken", "CKD_Thicken.rb" thickenExt.version = '1.0' thickenExt.description = 'Uses JPP to thicken the select face/s directly or inside the selected groups' Sketchup.register_extension thickenExt, true module Thicken def initialize() @thickness = 100.mm @model = Sketchup.active_model selectedEntities = model.selection thickenTool = ThickenTool.new(self) @model.select_tool thickenTool model.start_operation "Thicken" model.commit_operation end class ThickenTool def initialize(caller_class) @caller = caller_class end def activate Sketchup.set_status_text "Thickness", SB_VCB_LABEL Sketchup.active_model.active_view.invalidate end def deactivate(view) view.invalidate end def onUserText(text, view) UI.messagebox("what") end def enableVCB? return true end end #Class ThickenTool if( !$thickenLoaded ) $ckdSubMenu.add_item("Thicken") { thicken } thickenLoaded = true end end #Module Thicken -
First of all I get an error because $ckdSubMenu is not defined.
I replace that with
UI.menu('plugins')and I get a new error:
Error: #<NameError: undefined local variable or methodthicken' for Thicken:Module>
c:/thicken.rb:52`I cannot just replace
thickenwithThicken.initializebecause that is a private method. I replace that withdef self.start_tool()and call that.I then get an error on
selectedEntities = model.selectionbecausemodelis not defined. I replace allmodelreferences with@model.Then, when all these errors are solved the Tool activates and the VCB works just fine.
My question to you, did you even have the Ruby Console open when you tried your code?

Duke, ya need to get your files and folders organized (so you stop using global variables.)
Separate the code into 3 files, thus:file: "Plugins/CKD_Thicken_ext.rb"
