hello,
i face a strange problem:

while transferring my plugin to skp2025

the ruby-console shows all flags with value 0
for any key hit (notebook and external keyboard).

so nothing works in the plugin.

has anybody any idea, what is causing this?

thanx a lot. i am rather desparete now....
stan

ruby-console after hitting some keys:

puts "bt ****onKeyDown:   K:#{key}   F:#{flags}"

thanx a lot. perfect-:)

hello,
can anyone confirm the headline of the ruby-console
titeled

"koenigsblau" ?

thanx
stan

hello,

i face a seldom problem:

in skp 2021

onkeydown produces

key 38 flag 328

key 40 flag 336

on the same notebook with same keyboard (parallel installation)

sketchup 2023 produces flags 0 for both keys.

is there any logical explanation for this ?

thanx alot!

stan

hi rich,
thanx for this, the dev tools are accessible.

could you please activate the tools also for my new account, user: areal3d.
i would like to run the plugin under this label.

thank you very much.

stan

no. do i have to apply for access?

hello,
i am working on a small ifc-viewer. is it allowed to put a download link here for someone, who would like to make some testing?
thanx

hello,
i have to dive ibnto bim and ifc-parameters.

i must confess, that i cnnot find the correct parameters in the compo-instance oder definitions in the ruby-api.

so for the start

if i iterate thru comp.-instances in the model,

is there a way for examlple to

-read out a table of all existing assigned (manually in the components in sketchup or imported)

-edit them (for example changing some letters)

• and write them again back into attributes?

• and eventually generate a new attribute with a new value ?

thanx for helping in advance.

stan

edit:
i found out, that the ifc-attributes are similar like other attributes dictionaries, so i could read them out by

    dictionaries = mycompo.attribute_dictionaries
# Iterates through all dictionaries and prints to screen.
dictionaries.each { |dictionary| puts dictionary.name }
puts ""
attrdict = mycompo.attribute_dictionaries['dynamic_attributes']
attrdict.each_pair { | key, value |
puts "#{key} = #{value}"
}

@tig said:

A page does not 'have' the active_section_plane.
That belongs to the model.active_entities as .active_section_plane
So you do need to make the page [scene] in question model.pages.selected_page= and then check the active section-plane details in the model.active_entities ...

HI TIG,

yes, thanx a lot, i am at this point, too, i think,
and i could iterate thru all pages (make the active one after another), with view.refresh off, maybe,

i just was hoping, that there is a hidden property for an active section.

so the conclusion is:

the page (scene) stores the active section - but there is no way to retrieve it directly by api at the moment

thanx a lot again
stan

hello,
i studied the api, but cannot find a way to

retrieve the active section plane of a page

without making the page an active page (means only by iteration thru pages and getting the corresponding section-plane).

is that possible?

thanx a lot for helping !
