hi experts,
is there any way to controll the position of the ruby inputbox
on the screen,
just to put it a bit away from the center of the screen?
my skills are still not good enough for the html-menues (especially the data transfer from html to ruby),
so i still have to use the old ones...
thanx a lot
and merry x-mas to everybody at sketchucation and in the forum!

hi tig,
ok, if it depends on the encoding of the original file imported to skp, i will have to study it.
thanx and merry x-mas!

hi tig,
just a small add to this toppic:
situation:
i imported a ifc from a german cad with special chatacters "ä,ö,ü..."
in the "key" of the ifc-parameter
we solved the handling for ruby by using ift-8
so far, so good.
now i tried to export this file from skp to ifc
and reimport ( to see, if my attributes are passed correctly).
can it be , that sketchup exports the code of the special character in some special way?
in reimport the ifc-key contents the code itself now, not the original special character - somehow...
screenshots show the display in the original file and after the re-import.
i want to try to detect those codes by ruby again to be able to differ between areas, length and so on.
regards
stan
the alternativ format is perfectly working !
thanx a lot for this, i di not know this syntax yet

hello,
i just stuck at one point:
wirh onmousemove i can get the instance/component - structure easily:
pickhelper = view.pick_helper pickhelper.do_pick(x, y) pickhelper.count.times { |pick_path_index| pp=pickhelper.path_at(pick_path_index) }
i can the iterate pp and get for example all transformations.
now when i iterate thru entities of a certain instance and want to get the parent, i do not get the higher INSTANCE, but the DEFINITION LIST.
how can i get the whole path as in the pickhelper from a selected instance?
thanx a lot for helping .

edit1 : found this interesting topic:
starting to check it out!
edit 2:
this works, but interesting:
not the returned arry of elemnts holds the row, but the array[0]
BUT IT WORKS FINE !!!!
hi tig,
first : thanx for your help.
but
i am doing something wrong.
i placed the utf info at the very first line (above "Module")
` # encoding: UTF-8
module ZF_ifc
#########################################################################################
class ZF_BIM_version
#######################################`
but i still get
Error:
#<SyntaxError: C:/Users/zdene/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2023/SketchUp/Plugins/zf_areal3d_bim/areal3d_bim_prg.rb:6743: invalid multibyte char (UTF-8)>
so i cannot search in keys for german letters (ä,ü,ö).
in the key of the hash there is an "ä"
i want to check with ruby, if there is an "ä" in ite key:
elsif tt[0].to_s.include?("Länge")
elsif tt[0].to_s.include?("Länge")
elsif tt[0].to_s.include?("Länge")
i just stick.....

hi,
i get ifc-fields from german cad-programs, which have "ä, Ü, " etc. in the ifc-descriptions.
ho can i handle this in ruby, when i want to check them?
example:
iterate key / value...
if key == "Fläche" then...
saving this the ruby do not work...
thanx
stan
hello,
maybe someone has an answer:
i can extract all informations from the ifc like area, volume etc. wirth the corresponding values.
now, the desription ov "value" can be any expression, depending on the software , which generated the ifc.
in german i have ifc-parameters using special character ("Fläche") vor "area", which i even cannot handle in ruby well. in other cases the key is not clearly defined, so i cannot analyse , if it is length/area/value.
is there any universal way to find out, if a parameter value "xxx" is a length, area or volume, without regarding the name of the attribute? is it coded somewhere in the inported ifc in sketchup?
so if i get key : 'abcdefg' value : '3,23456'
how can i define the unit automatically?
thanx for any idea...
stan
edit: found the filed for the version......upload worked
thanx for helping me !!!!
stan
ok. understood.
question:
where do i have to implement the version of the plugin according to this message?
in the ruby file or in the sketchucation system?
thanx
stan
