Jim, thank you for always helping me out. I thought I had the right syntax, perhpas some things don't have to be there.

thanks! That seems to be what I need. Bender

Hi. I forgot to add another simple question. If I have an entity object, say entities[0]...is there a way to retrieve that entities' present coordinates? Something like: coordinate = entities[0].get_3dCoord Is there such a method? How can I do this? Thank you in advance!

view.show_frame(1) # optional delay This line uses an optional 1 second delay. What happens if you set it to zero?

In your Plugins/Examples folder, there is a script named animation.rb. It is a good reference for using the Animation class.

Thanks for the reply. I've taken a look at that plugin, but from my understanding it is very discrete in the sense that you can only "move" an object a discrete number of times through the use of the "transformations" option in the right click menu. I however am reading a log file with possibly hundreds of coortdinates, and what I want to get from sketchup is a way to position a 3D object and set its coordinates as I am reading the log file. I mean, it should be quite simple to set its coordinates, then update them and get rid of the old ones etc... Is there not a way to do this through the ruby script? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the replies everyone.
