How to export model info as .csv files using ruby console?
-
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.

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.
