      I want to be able to export (as .csv) simple lists of model info such as styles / scene names etc with a Ruby code snippet.

      I'm sure it must be quite straight forward, but I'm clueless with Ruby. (though I would like to start learning it).

      What I need at the moment is just a code stub that will generate the csv file from one class of model info — right now I need the style names — and I can swap out the different methods for other info once I understand the basics.

      Anyone have a starting point for me?

      Thanks,

      Doug

        I can't help you with the code, I don't know Sketchup's API very well at all, but as for a starting point for learning...

        I used this to learn the basics of ruby, and I thoroughly reccomend it.

          This script creates a simple plugin that traverses your model and creates a csv file


          csv from styles

              Starting to learn Ruby is on the to-do list once I'm through my current set of deadlines. Thanks for the link and the recommendation. I'll check it out.
