I'm trying to inference lock along a random vector. I wrote this and it works as long as @vector is along the red/green or blue axis but it doesn't lock in any other situation. Does anyone has a solution?
@picked_first_ip.copy(@mouse_ip)
@mouse_ip = Sketchup;;InputPoint.new(@picked_first_ip.position.offset(@vector))
view.lock_inference(@picked_first_ip,@mouse_ip)
I got it working. I used the ruby-c-extension-example to create a visual studio 2017 project and compiled it. You can find the VS2017 project in the link and compile it or use the so in releases if you have Sketchup 2017 x64.

I'm trying to use the rbclipper library in sketchup 2017 pro x64 using this tutorial:
http://dagrende.blogspot.be/2011/08/install-rbclipper-in-sketchup-8.html
But instead of ruby 1.8.7 I used 2.2.4 and instead of DevKit-tdm-32-4.5.2-20110712-1620-sfx.exe I used DevKit-mingw64-64-4.7.2-20130224-1432-sfx.exe
When I try running it in Sketchup I get this error
require 'clipper'
Error; #<LoadError; 126; The specified module could not be found. - C;/Users/maarten/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2017/SketchUp/Plugins/clipper.so>

What am I doing wrong?
My code gives a Cannot convert "100.00mm" to length error on some computers but not on other computers. How is this possible?
I thought the problem was that some computers use a , instead of a . to indicate a decimal mark but changing the language input on those computers doesn't solve the problem.
It doesn't work in windows 10
I get this error:

Is it possible to get the mac address in ruby?
I've tried this gem: https://rubygems.org/gems/macaddr but I can't get it working.
I've also tried executing shell commands from within ruby with backticks getmac and %x(getmac) but I don't get a response.
Thanks that did the trick. Is there a reason why the face isn't removed by the pushpull command?
# create cube
subelement.entities.add_face(pointscube).pushpull(height)
# create face on side of cube
face = subelement.entities.add_face(retourpoints)
fbounds = face.bounds
face.pushpull(isolatie + binnenschil)
subelement.entities.each do |ent|
if ent.is_a?(Sketchup;;Face)
ebounds = ent.bounds
if ebounds.max == fbounds.max and ebounds.min == fbounds.min
ent.erase!
break
end
end
end
Sorry for my explanation but english isn't my first language.
I first create a plane inside a group and pushpull it. This is the slab in the picture.
Then I create a face inside the same group. But when I pushpull this one it creates a new cube touching the slab. When I manually delete the mutual face it becomes a solid group.
Both objects in the picture are created with the same script.
In my script I want to pushpull a newly created face on a side of a cube. When an edge of the face coincide with the edge of the cube the resulting group isn't a solid group. I don't have this problem when the edges don't coincide. What am I doing wrong?
# create cube
subelement.entities.add_face(pointscube).pushpull(height)
# create face on side of cube
face = subelement.entities.add_face(points)
face.pushpull(isolatie + binnenschil)
I've found the problem. It was in line "opening = subelement.entities.add_group"
I created a group inside the group I wanted to subtract.
Yes @wandgroep is a group containing several groups which contain several manifold groups.
the error occurs in the line "opening = subelement.entities.add_group" after the first subtraction is done. When I delete the subtract line, I don't get the error and every cube is drawn correctly in the correct group.
It looks like all subelement are deleted after I subtract the first subelement.
I'm writing a script to make a hole in a group with multiple subgroups.
I iterate through the group and subtract a box if they intersect.
The boxes are created correctly but it gives the following error:
#<Deleted Entity:0x65d174a8>
Error: #<TypeError: reference to deleted Group>
def addhole(beginx,beginz,breedte,hoogte)
#beginpunt x = afstand tot begincoordinaat muur; y = hoogte tov nulpas
dikte = @wandgroep.local_bounds.depth
openingbound = Geom;;BoundingBox.new
openingbound.add([beginx,0,beginz],[beginx + breedte,dikte,beginz + hoogte])
points = [
[beginx,0,beginz],
[beginx,0,beginz + hoogte],
[beginx + breedte,0,beginz + hoogte],
[beginx + breedte,0,beginz]
]
@wandgroep.entities.to_a.each do |element|
if not openingbound.intersect(element.bounds).valid?
if element.typename == 'Group'
if element.manifold?
opening = @wandgroep.entities.add_group
opening.entities.add_face(points).pushpull(dikte)
result = opening.subtract(element)
else
element.entities.to_a.each do |subelement|
opening = subelement.entities.add_group
opening.entities.add_face(points).pushpull(dikte)
result = opening.subtract(subelement)
end
end
end
end
end
end
How can I remove a group that I have created earlier in a ruby script.
` wandgroep = Sketchup.active_model.active_entities.add_group
....
I want to remove the group here.`
I'm writing an extension to create a wall in a simular way as the profile builder plugin. Before you draw the wall you have to adjust several parameters (height, width, ...). But when the wall is drawn I want the possibility to modify these parameters. How can I save those parameters to the wall object en how can I recall them when I want to modify the object?
