@Bryan K: Thanks for the tips! I've been really busy, so no time to check out the site or complete this resort, so I understand.

What motivates me with programming plugins is that it allows me to be creative and create something that never existed before.

With the level of connectivity in current and future cars I am glad mine is analogue. I agree there are huge benefits but the potential for intrusion is huge and I am not sure there is a truly SAFE car with the level of connectivity required by self drive cars.

I like Blue vs Red (Or red Vs Blue). That is a funny show! What are you into now?

ALL of SketchUp's internal database lengths are stored in inches, irrespective of the units you use.
In the API there are the numeric and length classes.
So if you have an input value that defaults to a 'length' - e.g. 9.feet, or any other units format - then it is always 'stored' and 'processed' in inches [9*12=108"].
However, this is flexible as the user can input in any units provided they use a units suffix: however how it's displayed in the input-box depends on the current model info > units settings...
Otherwise you need to default to a string value and then reverse-engineer that - e.g.
h="9" [read from the input[1]]
which you then reset for later use as a parallel value
hft=h.to_f.feet
So the input is always taken as a decimal-feet value, but then used in inches internally...

Yes, I'm using the current drivers. No, I'm actually on Sketchup 2016. I should have mentioned that information in my post. I should probably update my profile info 😄
