That does. I guess I misunderstood '+' from the start. Thanks again.

Thank you Jim!
BTW, how can I change my profile? I have no picture nor description for myself.

NICE ! Thank you all!

Hi all, another simple question.

I would like to define a point by another point + a vector. However, in my Ruby, pt + vec returns another vec object, rather than a pt. So, is there a simple way to convert this returning vec to pt, cos I guess they all belong to array right? Thanks!

Thanks for the Bridge! Putting puts all around is what I'm doing now, painfully.
Really looking forward to the SU debugger.

Hi all, I've got this problem from the beginning. The way I test my .rb is Alt-F1 with Bridge. But I'd really like to debug my code especially when the code is lengthy. However, the original debug in RDE does not work directly. (or does it?) So, anyone can share you ideas about debugging? Thanks a lot!

Hi all, I'm wondering if the code for Triangular Bezier surf exists or shall we develop our own? In the latter case, what algorithm do you recommend? Thanks a lot!

Thank you Alex.

The only way I found in Ruby to post text is Entities.add_text(text, pt)
However, these texts will change their position when I rotate the scene cos they are fixed to some pt. So this is different from the original SU text tool which allows static text and that's exactly what I need.

Can I get static text from Ruby script? Thanks!

Hmm... reasonable. But we are really looking for innovative (weird, maybe) ones rather than common ones. (It is Reeeeesearch) So any solution here?

Thanks again! I'm using web exporter right now. (That's what I mean "convert them into set of jpgs")

But the problem is that these jpgs I uploaded need to be updated according to user behavior. However, unlike java3d or flash, the mechanism of updating these jpgs is not on the web page but on my local sketchup (Am I right?) This is what I'm concerned about? Any solution?

Appreciate it! But what do you mean by "Client based" "Server solution" (Sorry for this dumb question) and "web exporter"?

I've tried .wrl and hyperscom to export my model, but the former one needs plug-in (not good for survey) and the latter does not support ruby call (I cannot export hyperscom model automatically, can I?)

Thanks there!
What I need to do is to show random designs to people and use GA to converge their choice. This requires my sketchup to iteratively produce new designs and publish them online to massive users. Is webdialog capable of doing this? Anyway, let me do a research on this.

Open to any advice and comment!

Hi all,

I'm working on this project in which I want people to evaluate on different vehicle styles and new styles can be generated according to their response. I've written up some ruby codes that I can generate vehicles parametrically and convert them into set of jpgs.

The question is that How can I make my website interactive with users, or is it possible with SU, Ruby and Javascript? I have no experience in this but clearly I need to have sketchup running in the background, right?

Anyone has any idea about this, please help. Thank you all!

p.s. I also find Papervision3D to be promising, any comments?
