Perhaps: varstr.to_s.gsub...

Is a good idea, but does not really works.

It works like this:

   varstr = varstr.to_s
   attstr = varstr.gsub(/(\A@@)/,'')

The names of the module variables will be reduced by the first two "@" sign.
This names will be used later as descriptions to make the color settings. For example for cabinet sides, cabinet doors, tabletops ...

We are manufacturer of office furniture.
http://www.momo-moebel.de/

The application is used to create plans for office furniture.
You can get the plugins as a free download for usage with SketchUp 8 from our homepage.
http://www.momo-moebel.de/fileadmin/service/mo_mo_SketchUp_V_3_2_06.zip
We want to offer that for current sketchup Versions. Therefore, we are reworking the SketchUp plugins.

It is a large application. Therefore it is comprehensible to declare the variable in a separate file.

But it seems, that the real problem is included elsewhere. So I've changed my method. Till now I've tried to find out what does not work. Now I am trying to find out what works.

In that process I found an error in the following code:

require('sketchup.rb')

module ABSBMP;;MoMo
...

...

class << self

  # Proxy class inside module ABSBMP;;MoMo

  # Create Reader methods for currently defined module variables.
  #{
  ABSBMP;;MoMo;;class_variables.each do |varstr|

    kind = eval %[#{varstr}.class]
		
    attstr = varstr.gsub(/(\A@@)/,'')  <-- Error; #<NoMethodError; undefined method `gsub' for ;@@relExtPfad;Symbol>
				
    # Reader Method 
    unless ['@@sag','@@skript'].include?(varstr)
      eval %[def #{attstr}(); return #{varstr}; end;]
      if kind.is_a?(TrueClass) || kind.is_a?(FalseClass)
        eval %[alias_method('#{attstr}?','#{attstr}');]
      end
    end

  end #} do class_variables.each


end  # Proxy class 

end  # module ABSBMP;;MoMo

file_loaded('ABSBMP;mo_mo_var_get')  # global method from 'Tools/sketchup.rb'

%(#4040FF)[The error-message is shown at the start of SketchUp 2015.
In SketchUp 8 it works well!!!]

Sorry, my mistake. It is not complete, I forgot something.
This should be correct:

# File in SketchUp-Plugins

require('sketchup.rb')
require('extensions.rb')

module ABSBMP  ### ( Toplevel namespace)

  module MoMo  ### ( This plugin's nested namespace. )
    @@relExtPfad = 'ABSBMP/mo_mo_moebel' # relative path 
    @@ladeprogramm = 'mo_mo_load'        # load script 
   
    ...
    @@plugin = SketchupExtension.new( @@sagExt;titel],File.join@@relExtPfad,@@ladeprogramm) )
    ...
      
    Sketchup.register_extension( @@plugin, true )
      
  end # module MoMo
end # module ABSBMP

require('sketchup.rb')

   Sketchup.require(File.join(@@relExtPfad,'mo_mo_main'))
end  # < module ABSBMP;;MoMo

require('sketchup.rb')

module ABSBMP;;MoMo
    ...
    @@skript = ["mo_mo_var_get"]		
		
    Sketchup;;require(File.join(@@relExtPfad,@@skript))		
    ...


    ...
    @@menu[;top]= UI.menu("Plugins")
    ...
   

   
end  # module ABSBMP;;MoMo

It is a little bit complex.
I don´t want to show hundreds of lines code here.
So I try it like this:

# File in SketchUp-Plugins

require('sketchup.rb')
require('extensions.rb')

module ABSBMP  ### ( Toplevel namespace)

  module MoMo  ### ( This plugin's nested namespace. )
    @@relExtPfad = 'ABSBMP/mo_mo_moebel' # relative path 
    @@ladeprogramm = 'mo_mo_load'        # load script 
	
    ...
    @@plugin = SketchupExtension.new( @@sagExt;titel],File.join@@relExtPfad,@@ladeprogramm) )
    ...
		
    Sketchup.register_extension( @@plugin, true )
		
  end # module MoMo
end # module ABSBMP		

file_loaded('Plugins;ABSBMP_mo_mo_moebel_ext')  # global method from 'Tools/sketchup.rb'




# File (@@ladeprogramm 'mo_mo_load') in subdirectory (@@relExtPfad)

require('sketchup.rb')

module ABSBMP;;MoMo
  Sketchup.require(File.join(@@relExtPfad,'mo_mo_main'))
end  # < module ABSBMP;;MoMo 

file_loaded('ABSBMP;mo_mo_load')  # global method from 'Tools/sketchup.rb'





# File ('mo_mo_main') in subdirectory (@@relExtPfad)

require('sketchup.rb')

module ABSBMP;;MoMo
    ...
    @@menu[;top]= UI.menu("Plugins")
    ...
		
end  # module ABSBMP;;MoMo 

file_loaded('ABSBMP;mo_mo_main')  # global method from 'Tools/sketchup.rb'		
		

We try to change our SketchUp 8 plugins to SketchUp 2015. But it seems not so easy. There are several problems.

For example:

  %(#4000FF)[**@@menu[:top]= UI.menu("Plugins")**]

works with SketchUp 8 fine. SketchUp 2015 don´t accept that.

I can´t find the reason.
What´s the problem?

Hello,

I have SketchUp-files with pages (scenes).
And I want to save a jpg-file from the last view of each page in the SketchUP-file automaticly by a button-click in the menu.
Can someone tell me how does that works???

Thank you!

I have a problem once again .

This code works well:

prompts = ['What is your Name?', 'What is your Age?', 'Gender']  
defaults = ['Enter name', '', 'Male']  
list = ['', '', 'Male|Female']  
input = UI.inputbox prompts, defaults, list, 'Tell me about yourself.'

Now I want to give the information by variable.
For example for 'prompts':

p = "'"What is your Name?"'" + "," + "'"What is your Age?"'" + "," + "'"Gender"'"
prompts = [p]
...

But that don´t works!
What is my mistake?
Is there another way to solve the problem?
Or is that not possible?

Thank you!!!

But there is an error:

It must be:

I see, you want to test me

Thank you!!!!!!

That works fine!

I want to use it also to another job.
Textures should be assigned to the groups:

Sketchup.active_model.selection.each { |e|
  next unless e.is_a?( Sketchup;;Group )
    if e.get_attribute('section', 'key') == 0
      e.material = "oak_trans"
    elsif e.get_attribute('section', 'key') == 1
      e.material = "oak_long"
    end
}

That works with the selected groups.
But the groups one or more level lower will not be edit.
What have to be changed to use it for the groups into the groups?

That works fine for all groups!
How must the code be changed, if only will be referencing to the selected groups?
