Dear Ruby programmers/users ,
I have asked on this (and the old Sketchupforum) forum for a trilateration Ruby for many times .
For some reason until now it was not possible for the programmers to write a Ruby that could do that.
I however kept searching the web for a solution that could assist me with trilateration.
Now I have found a open source freeware program that comes close to what I was looking for .
It is called Sketchflat ( probably a coincident ) its a fantastic simple easy to use 2D cad program only 380kb., even the code is downloadable
It is written by Jonathan Westhues whom I wish to thank for his effort ,and sharing.
It has parametric dimensioning and a geometric constraints solver ,you can download it at http://www.cq.cx/sketchflat.pl
It is designed primarily to generate CAM output data, for manufacturing on a laser cutter, water jet machine, vinyl cutter, 3-axis mill, or other machine tool.
It can export to DXF ,HPGL ,and G Code.
I am sure it will also be useful to other sketchuppers ,and probably inspire the programmers to make a Ruby ,or a Add-on ,if possible like this for Sketchup.
(Dear Gaieus if this is not the appropriate place for my post ,than please put it on the right forum.)
Greetings,
Bep van Malde
