Sorry I realise that was a bit unlcear. The Pachube link was a community project and despite my asking thr CTO (!) not supported. They do have a Ruby API to pull data from the feed and that is supported

I was really hoping that someone might know of a plug in or a project that did something similar, anything took some variables in a Ruby script and applied them to a series of solids in sketchup - to vary height etc proportional to the variable would be very helpful, and we could probably build on that to connect it into Pachube.

Any help much appreciated
