SU SDK and geometry creation
-
As mentioned in the other thread, I think Simlabs use it for their importers.
Using the SDK to create CPoints would be an interesting Hello World project though. Fancy a BitBucket / GitHub project?
-
The latest SDK includes examples for the SKPWriter and SKPReader.

Hm... can't find anything in the SDK related to Construction Lines or Points...

Hi Richard -
Unfortunately, we don't have any support for writing construction
lines in the SkpWriter API at this time.Tyler
Google
That was in 2009

They are there in the Reader...

This is a SDK project I'd really like to see revived: wrapping the SDK in Ruby.

Ooh! That's an interesting one!

I could see doing that, so as to work with skp files in a normal Ruby session (outside of embedded SketchUp Ruby.)
But D.M. says that his goal is to work inside SketchUp embedded Ruby. What's the point ??
The SDK is a subset of the Sketchup engine. Inside SU it is already loaded into memory, so you do not need reader and writer DLLs at all.
Just use IT. There IS an example in the SDK that shows how to.. and the first step is to always get a handle on the Sketchup application.
