Scenes not behaving correctly?!?

[agamemnus]

I created some code to render a helicopter. Unfortunately, for some blasted reason, most of the scenes are not being rendered correctly. Help!

Edit: ok, never mind. I added "view.camera = pages.selected_page.camera" .. that seemed to fix things. That's pretty odd that the new camera target isn't being copied. Is it a Sketchup 8 bug?

Fixed file:

require 'sketchup.rb'

module Render_isometric
 def Render_isometric.do_render
  model = Sketchup.active_model
  pages = model.pages
  layers = model.layers
  view = model.active_view
  # Set up and get pointers to the appropriate layers.
  image_base_name = "osprey"
  
  scenes_extension   = ["bottom", "bottom-left", "left", "top-left", "top", "top-right", "right", "bottom-right"]
  rotation_extension = ["rotation 1", "rotation 2", "rotation 3", "rotation 4", "rotation 5", "rotation 6", "rotation 7", "rotation 8"]
  rotors_extension   = ["rotors forward", "rotors up"]
  for i in (0 .. scenes_extension.length - 1)
   pages.selected_page = pages[scenes_extension[i]]
   view.camera = pages.selected_page.camera
   pages.selected_page.transition_time = 0
   pages.selected_page.delay_time = 0
   for j in (0 .. rotation_extension.length - 1)
    current_rotation_layer = layers[rotation_extension[j]]
    current_rotation_layer.visible = true
    for k in (0 .. rotors_extension.length - 1)
     current_rotors_layer = layers[rotors_extension[k]]
     current_rotors_layer.visible = true
     keys = {
      ;filename    => "c;/vehicles/" + image_base_name + "-" + scenes_extension[i] + "-" + rotation_extension[j] + "-" + rotors_extension[k] + ".png",
      ;width       => 256,
      ;height      => 256,
      ;antialias   => true,
      ;transparent => true
     }
     model = Sketchup.active_model
     view = model.active_view
     view.write_image keys
     current_rotors_layer.visible = false
    end
    current_rotation_layer.visible = false
   end
  end
 end
end #end module


Render_isometric_menu = UI.menu("Plugins").add_submenu("Render Isometric")
Render_isometric_menu.add_item("Do Render") {Render_isometric.do_render}

Can you be more specific when you say "rendered correctly" because I am not 100% sure what you mean by this. Do you mean the scene style rendering options where not updated?

Yes... all of the camera didn't update, so the image doesn't render as intended. Had to do "view.camera = pages.selected_page.camera" to get it to work correctly.
