Ruby script for selecting color

TIG

Your materials have names.
I used 'Glass' as an example.
The material must already exist in the model.
[I am skipping explaining how to create a material if it doesn't already exist, change its RGB and opacity etc... that wasn't your original question!]

So use any existing material you want - just pass its 'name'...

Hi TIG What I am trying to do above creating box one side of box look like see through glass and rest solid coloured any idea???

TIG

An image of what you expect might help us help you, we are not mind-readers.

I have given you a general framework for code that finds "any face" by its direction and gives it a material.
The example I gave was for face.normal==Z_AXIS
which means it faces directly upwards,
BUT you can compare it to any axis
X_AXIS
Y_AXIS
and for the 'opposite direction'...
X_AXIS.reverse
Y_AXIS.reverse
Z_AXIS.reverse

You need to find and read code examples more....

Hi TIG could you recommend any good book specific for sketchup with code example. I have a book called "Automatic Sketchup" by Matthew Scarpino. It's not enough detail for me.

That's an excellent start.
Also get examples of others scripts [not too complex to start] and see how others do it...

Hi TIG It's working thanks.
How do I choose specific one face If I have multiple faces in same direction

TIG

Find something unique about that face - like its bounds.min x/y/z ?

TIG

The sloping, upward looking face will have a normal.z>0 BUT ALSO normal.z<1, it also has a normal.x<0 - so that finds that kind of face ?
The triangular face has normal.x==1, BUT so does the rectangular one next to it.
You can differentiate them using face.vertices.lengthon each, ==3 for the triangle and ==4 for the rectangle ?
Or if the difference is that it is below the red axis, testing face.bounds.min.y<0 will find it...

Tip on bb=object.bounds
bb.width is in X
bb.height is in Y
bb.depth is in Z
this is NOT as you might initially assume - 'height' is NOT the Z - the bounds conventions come from the older CAD concept, where width/height are from the screen, when you typically looked at an object in plan, from above; and the 'depth' is the extent it projected 'out-of-the-screen'. 3D modelers like SketchUp show axes in 3d with Z typically up the screen rather that 'out-of-it'... bb.min, bb.max and bb.center etc should be self-evident ?

thanks TIG for fast reply I am going to try. I will let you know!!

Hi TIG I didn't understand boundingbox method here is my code look at it. Also I attaching image of this

prom = ["A wall unit #{x}:", "Door size: ", "Custom Door size:", "Window Size: ", "Custom Window size:" ] values = ['Door', "", "", "", ""] list = ["Door|Window", ['87"|81"|75"|69"|63"|57"|Custom'], "", ['87"|81"|75"|69"|63"|57"|51"|45"|39"|33"|Custom'], ""] res = inputbox prom, values, list, "A wall Door & Window"

prom= sets the prompts to the left of each input box line

values= sets the starting values - you only have 'Door' set for the first one, the "" after that say start with NO value. The default needs to be a value in the matching list entry OR a lone default-value.
To use the list's first in each case try:
values = ["Door", "87"", "60"", "87"", "60""]
...notice how I escape the " inside "" using " then each box gets a default value.
I chose 60" as the default for the custom size - that's up to you...

list= gives the dropdown lists to choose from, each item in the dropdown is separated by a | any NON-dropdown 'single values' are shown as ""...

Please use () around arguments passed... e.g.
res = inputbox(prom, values, list, "A wall Door & Window")[/ruby]
Un-parenthesized lists my be deprecated in future ruby releases, and using () inside any arguments tat involve clacs etc when the set is un-parenthesized will cause issues now.

Hi TIG thanks for fast reply
My question is when user select let say window from listbox then door size and door custom size grayout is it possible. I mean dynamicalley.

TIG

Not with the standard inputbox.

You can do it using a complex webdialog...
That's a 'whole new kettle-of-fish'...

If you want the user to choose window/Door then why not have a simple item inputbox first and depending on the answer chosen in that open a second inputbox giving different options ?
That's easier than learning webdialog/html/js/css etc - unless you want a bigger challenge than you already have ??

Don't put a space between the = sign of the BBCode CODE block.

Hi TIG could you look at it my code I want to collect when user enter values in side the loop.but I get last value. How do I get all values if user choose 3 units? I mean Total projection

The results = inputbox(...) returns an array representing the answers current in the inputbox's boxes when OK is pressed.
So use that the extract the various values you want ??
v0,v1,v2,v3 = results ?
Lets those 4 variables to be the results...

nithi09

I don't get it, let say user enter 3 units so the loop going to be three times going to be prompt? first unit1 up to user Door size or Window size so then unit2 and unit3
for me to find out Total width = unit1 + unit2 + unit3 according to the user input. let me know I always get last input not from first to last I mean total
