      Would somebody please be kind enough to explain to me how to create ruby scripts?? I am in the middle of a large sketchup model for a proposed health care building and need something to mke it more simpler. and i have down loaded many from Smustard and attempting to download from http://www.crai.archi.fr/RubyLibraryDepot/ but instead of a file to save in my plugins folder there is all Scripts/code. Where do i copy and paste the code to create the Ruby script. Are there any tutorials out there to explain what they are better??

      Thank You

        Will, that bunch of codes is the ruby script itself. When having got(ten) there to see it, copy all, insert it into a plain text editor (like notepad) and save the file - with exactly the same name (and extension: "rb") you could see as a file name at the end of the download - into the Plugins folder of your SU App.

        restart your SU and (most probably) you'll find the script in the Plugins menu (some scripts go elsewhere). Also, there's usually a short description at the beginning of the script how to use it.

        Have fun


        I also moved this topic if you don't mind for the Ruby depot is supposed to exclusively serve as a place to share finished rubies.

            Yes, basically these two sites.
            Most of the "free" scripts at Smustard (and many more) can be found on Didier's site (second in the list below)
            http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?p=6792#p6792

            and as you can see, there are some more sites listed. That's about all you should start with.

            For landscaping, I could suggest you the following thread:
            http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?p=6799#p6799
            and an update:
            http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?p=6787#p6787

            It creates guide points (and then a mesh from them) from x/y/z coordinates of points simply as a text file as an imput (I myself use it a lot or "reconstructing" archaeological layers etc.).
