Thanks didier and cphilips for everything especially for speed, i will release few rubies in a short time, so i hope it will reward you for your efforts. Have a nice time. I finally understand the real power of sketchup: ruby & community. And i think that your and others rubies have raised the SU version number higher then 10, so the only functionality I wish for in the official 7 is photosketch and better menu interface for plugins. This topic hijack is intentional. Thanks!

Just use e.material, where e is an instance of a Group, as a Group is a Drawing Element. This set the material for the group, used as a default by its elements if they do not have a material by themselves.

fantastic - thanks!!! i guess that going through the basics of ruby in SU is inevitable, but doing mash-ups is so much fun

I am still having a devil of a time trying to get this to work. I would like to set o set up an SU 2015 (B folder) for just testing plugins without effecting my current Su 2015. Anyone know how to do this?

TBD thanks for your encouragement, will share for sure, it's fairly easy with the bounding box proposal from above - will get to it tomorrow, hope that method works stay tuned
