[Plugin] AMS Library 3.7.1b (29 May 2021)

Anton_S

The first post contains a link to the library's documentation. I not particularly sure if that's what you desire though.

Anton, thanks. I found some great video tutorials. https://www.youtube.com/user/samketner/videos?sort=dd%26amp;view=0%26amp;shelf_id=0

My new problem is that the UI menu is not displaying correctly nor or the contents.. There are no tabs and the menu window is not resizable so I cannot access the contents at the bottom of the screen.

Here is a screen shot.

Any ideas?

I keep getting this error. What is happening?

Anton_S

Hmm. I'm not getting any errors in my SU8. Are you using the latest versions of both plugins? If not, try completely removing both and installing once again.

Edit: Actually I'm getting a similar error when I attempt to start MSPhysics simulation in SU8. I haven't been able to determine the cause, so try sticking to SU2013+.

Edit: I will ensure the compatibility with SU version prior to 2013 at some point.

Anton:
I removed all the files as per instruction. Defragged the HD. then reloaded SU8 . I have a video of what happens.
Watch and see. then Tell me what I did wrong.

Sorry, I forgot to test it on Windows XP. It should be fixed now. Upgrade to AMS Library, version 3.5.2.

with the AMS library i can get the name of the default tray but not the object itself or the child dialogs like "Materials" or "Entity Info" anybody knows if this feature exist or a workaround. If not is it possible to make one with the win32API?

Thanks

Anton_S

Galvin,

The Tray window structure in SU2018 is as follows:
Tray Window Structure.png
Provided that you have the handle of the tray, you can then obtain the first two levels of child windows, and then iterate through all windows of that child window to get all the dialogs.

With AMS Library, you can use the following function to get all trays:


trays = AMS;;Sketchup.get_active_dialogs.find_all { |handle|
  AMS;;Window.get_class_name(handle) =~ /Afx;MiniFrame/i
}

# => [133134]

Then once you have the trays, you can get the first two levels of child windows:


trays.each { |tray|
  c1 = AMS;;Window.get_related(tray, 5) # GW_CHILD
  next unless c1
  c2 = AMS;;Window.get_related(c1, 5) # GW_CHILD
  next unless c2
  dialogs = AMS;;Window.get_child_windows(c2, false, false)
  panes = dialogs.find_all { |dialog|
    AMS;;Window.get_class_name(dialog) =~ /CPanelHeader/i
  }
  panes.each { |pane|
    # First child window contains pane caption
    c3 = AMS;;Window.get_related(pane, 5) # GW_CHILD
    next unless c3
    puts AMS;;Window.get_caption(c3)
  }
}

# => Layers
# => Shadows
# => Fog
# => Materials
# => Soften Edges
# => Styles
# => Entity Info

Note that this will not work with sketchup versions prior to 14.

You're right. It doesn't work. What can you do? Be patient. The author has been working on an update and will release it when it is ready.

Same here. AMS lib is not compatible with SU2021, or so it seems..
It's a pity..

Your load errors come from MSPhysics which does not work in SketchUp 2021. Anton has indicated he's working on an update but he hasn't released it yet.

Your profile says you are still using Sketchup 2018. Please update that information. Thanks.
