Hello to all Ruby wizards,

Is there a ruby that can report specified values of selected entities to a Excel workbook with a custom made formula in it, and report back the outcome of the calculation as a text and paste it in the drawing.
If so, where can I find it?
If it does not exists, can it be made ?, and does someone wants to?

I think it could work like this.

After installing ,,the ruby,, you should be able in a context menu to add a new or /remove/edit/save-as, one ore more pre-installed Excel-workbooks, and re-name them.
Preferably you should be able to assign a keyboard shortcut to every workbook.
These workbooks can now be edited.
One page of the workbook would be used to report-to from Sketchup.
An other page would be the ,,edit page,,
On this edit page you should be able to:,

• specify witch values of the first selected entities from the Sketchup model get exported at first report ,and to witch range in the sheet.
  -which and where the second and next selections get pasted.
  -specify the cell with the outcome of the calculation to report back from to Sketchup.

Then.
-first you activate ,,the ruby,,
-Then you could for example select a couple of edges in a drawing, or a group, (the content of a group should be considered a selection.)
-Then click on “report to/from workbook1 ”, (or name ,to be specified) .
As long as you don’t shoos a different workbook ,all next reports are made to the same workbook .
The ruby would now export only the pre-specified entity-values (for example only edge lengths, or only end points , to be specified in the edit page) of the selected edges and put them on say row one (to be specified in the edit page ) of page 1 of the spreadsheet called, formula 1.
A next selection could now be exported (to be specified) to page 1 of the spreadsheet
All of these values separated in there own cell.
The formula (made by the user) would perform a calculation ,and the outcome would be presented in a specified cell of the spreadsheet.
From this cell after an ‘’Enter’’ on the keyboard the ruby would export the value in a specified cell back in a text box with leader attached to a pre-selected point of the model.
Now you can position this textbox, and after clicking you done.

Before you click the same ruby, or an other ruby you should be able to save the excel file, after selecting the same workbook to report to its content gets erased

To be able to do partial calculations, and afterwards a total calculation, you could activate the same ruby, select the separate text boxes and click for example “report to/from formula 2” ,and it would do a calculation with the text or numbers in the text boxes, and report it back.

Hello to you all,

I can see this technic develop in something great were you can draw on your desktop with a reflective tape stuck on your fingertips.(or IR reflective nailpolisch )
Or drawing on your dektop with a infrared-tip pen.
Its looks to me like a very promising development.
I could manipulating objects for example in sketchy physics with two hands.
At last i could solve part of my mikado game.

Dear remus,

Its living itself that kills you eventuely.
Suposingly, the less you spoil yourself,the longer you live.

But I like Strong coffie ,a nice piece of meat, sigarets, (Sketchup), All kinds of alcohol, driving faster than the speed limits and burning petrol, having my own sexual preferences, and being a atheist.

Trough history it has bin a sinn to seek comfort in anything else than the excepted relegion.
Sinners are there to convert, burn them on a stake, or let them pay off there sins.(taxes)

There are only a few budhist monks from whom is claimed they are not addicted to anything.
But they cant stop meditating.

I know of 2 solutions for translating plugins:

1. SketchUp ships with langhandler.rb in the Tools folder.

2. Fredo6 has his LibTraductor.rb

Or did you mean to make translations for SketchUp, not SketchUp plugins?

Hallo Jim,
What I meant was to have a possibility to let the Sketchup users translate the whole UI of Sketchup.
It is possible in the Genopro program I mentioned in my first post.(check it out)
It took 6 month to translate the user interface of this program for a great percentage, into more than 30 languages, mainly by the users of the program themselves.
I came up with the idea, when I noticed that you where working on ''Custom toolbars'' and ''common UI API'', I thought that maybe this would be the best time to come up with this idea, so you could already incorporate this functionality or a part of it, into the ruby’s you are making.
So perhaps the tooltips of the custom toolbars could already be translated.
About the custom toolbars your making possible could you incorporate a function. that with a right+click on the tool button the help file of this tool would open.
Incorporate in your rubyl the making of the tool-shortcuts.
Make fly-out toolbars possible as a choice .

To all developers ,thanks for shearing all your great ruby's
Greetings,
Bep van Malde.

Hi to all,

Would it not be great if the sketchup user community could do the program translations themselfse via a plugin/add-on or ruby of some sort?
Can any of you make a tool like that?
(or should we wait for Google to come up with this great idea?)
An example of this feature can be seen in a genealogy program I use(Genopro).
See also the discusion on this new tool on http://support.genopro.com/Forum91-1.aspx

Hi Burkhard.

After saving your drawing as a png ,you could use the free "Icon FX" at http://icofx.ro/
or the very simple software "simly icon" at http://www.smoothdraw.com/product/freeware.htm to edit it further.

Hi Bep,

May I know that do you receive my PM, please?

Oscar

Hi oscar,

As already posted to you in your PM-box, I instaled your test script succesfuly.
You should however have warned me about how great this script is.
I needed half an hour to get myself under control again.
Now my enthousiasme is somehow under control,I can give you some first, hopefully usefull remarks.
-Could you script preferbly use the users own units settings (my settings are Decimal, and cm for example.
-Could the defauld box to fill in when you want to adjust a line lenght be the size box.
(The most important for trilateration)
-If the first dimension of the sketcht triangle is changed, the hole figure should be scaled without losing the proportions of the initial sketch,like when scaling with the "tape measure"tool.
-The warning if you make size off a side of a triangle to large ,now is "the minimum size=..",
should it not be "max.size="?

Now I am going to take a beer and play around with your skript for a while.
If some other remarks come up I will post them tomorow.

Greetings,

Bep van Malde
