Enable SketchUp tools

TNTDAVID

Hello everyone.

Which code can be used to activate the SketchUp selection tool?

Is there a list that gives all the codes to activate any tools in SketchUp?

Thank you

David

Sketchup.send_action("selectSelectionTool:")

model = Sketchup.active_model
tool = model.select_tool(nil)

Class: Sketchup::Model

This is the interface to a SketchUp model.

@unknownuser said:

The select tool is activated if you pass nil to the select_tool method.

For SketchUp versions 2016+ they added new methods for window selection that can be used when writing your own Ruby tools:

I have also just noticed this.
If you edit a post with a url it becomes messed up.
I fixed your post's.
But if you were to edit again it'll break them.
I'll get Gábor on to it...
