Crossing lines made with the API don't auto-intersect - unlike the basic Sketchup setup.
However, since they are in a group, so use something like.
tr=Geom::Transformation.new() group.entities.intersect_with(true, tr, group.entities, tr, true, group.entities.to_a)

Thanks for the explanation Trog.

Tig on a side note, does that mean you could turn off auto intersect in normal life? Sometimes it would be nice to move a bunch of curves around and then only have them intersect when you have finished positioning them.

Thanks for the code tips, TIG, I was about to ask someone how to make a collection of entities intersect with themselves using that method.
So far, I have it working using a nested group which I later explode, which seems to work well enough - is there any advantage using 'intersect_with' compared to group.explode in this case? (i.e. a single collection of entities that must all intersect each other).

Trogluddite!

What a champ! Thats amazing what you've done. Thanks so much. The TileGrid plugin works perfectly, and the instructions you gave to install it are idiot-proof! Just what I need

Thanks also to sdmitch, thom thom and tig for the tips they gave you. Trog I think you're ready to join the Axis of Awesome!

Thanks to you too Box. Your input on this was very much appreciated.

Cheers
