hi and many thanks for the precise answers i received for the previous question!

while reading tutos on ruby/sketchup i kind of remember of an "angles to vector" method.. supposed it was in Geom but i found nothing similar in the api reference on http://www.sketchup.com/intl/en/developer/docs/ourdoc/geom.php. And i can't find the tuto anymore in the mess of my browser's history.

so my question is: is there any function/method like this or do i have to sine/cosine the angles myself.

grtz

hi everybody, i'm new on the forum!

thanks for the time you spend on forum's...

here's my question

what's behind the :: symbol in Geom?

ex:
*line1 = [Geom::Point3d.new(0,0,0), Geom::Vector3d.new(0,0,1)]
line2 = [Geom::Point3d.new(0,0,0), Geom::Vector3d.new(0,0,100)]

0,0,0 on each line should be closest because both lines start from

that point

pts = Geom.closest_points line1, line2*

and when do we use :: and/or . to call a method
is it only when using new or is it more subtle?
