This happens with other constants? would it happen the same with GL_QUADS or GL_LINE_LOOP?

Is this editor will have the same behavior?

SketchUp Ruby Code Editor • [as]

This code editor extension offers an easy-to-use and visually appealing way to write and modify Ruby scripts directly within SketchUp. These scripts can then be used to create geometry, add functionality or add data within the SketchUp 3D modeling environment. The SketchUp Ruby API provides an extensive set of functions to automatize SketchUp in many ways or create scripted, computational geometry.

thank you very much, is what I needed to know
by the way, I wanted to look at your plugins and I did not find them, look in the pluginstore and select search by author...

hi all, I'm trying to make a tool to move groups, similar to the native tool of sketchup, but so far I'm starting, I wrote the following code and I do not know why the group does not move smoothly

#before beginning must have a selected group

class MoveGroup
   def onMouseMove flags, x, y, view
      mod = Sketchup.active_model
      sel = mod.selection.to_a[0]
      input = view.inputpoint x,y
      p = input.position
      tr = Geom;;Transformation.translation p
      sel.move!(tr) if sel.is_a?(Sketchup;;Group)
      view.refresh
   end
end

Sketchup.active_model.select_tool MoveGroup.new

in advance I appreciate your help (Google translator)

right now I'm not designing something, I'm just writing a plugin and discovered this bug by chance

I think that could be a problem related to the issue that are not "unique groups" and are nested

@dave r said:

What a strange way of grouping things. It makes no sense.

Still, I'm not having any difficulty modifying it with FredoScale. Maybe you could show what you are trying to achieve?

Dave tries to use "radial bend" (for example) on the largest group

The tools in this plugin having to modify geometry, causing "bugs plats" in one instance with instances nested inside, works well when the tool only affects axes

I understand that exploiting all interior groups solved the problem, but would be good if the user had some kind of warning

I'm using the latest version of this plugin in Sketchup 8 (Spanish version)
I attached a file as an example of a group that can cause problems

grupos.skp

forgive errors of translation (google translator)

@thomthom said:

In SU2014, yes.

What would be the best way to write this for Sketchup 8 or 2013?
(google translator)

apparently this problem has been fixed in version 2.00.24

(google translator) Hi, I wanted to make some renders from certain perspectives perfectly aligned with the geometry. I created a scene for rendering always from the same place and I notice that sometimes fails Vray, for some strange reason, Vray rotate the view slightly (roll) sometimes, as show below:

Defective render

Proper render

apparently this error appears especially if you render several times from the same view, I use "Sketchup 8" and "Vray 2.00.23490"
I attached the skp corresponding to images, although this error appears on any skp

view.skp

I do not know if this has any solution

Thanks Dan, this can give me a hint, I'm testing with the definition given there, but in my testing model (instances.skp) gives me a wrong number of instances, sometimes less or sometimes more, I do not know if I'm misapplying the definition count_instances ()

# you must have a selected instance
def count_instances()
  num = 0
  if @editpath.size == 1
    i = @editpath.last
  else
    revpath = @editpath.reverse
    i = revpath.shift
  end
  if i.is_a?(Sketchup;;ComponentInstance)
    num = i.definition.instances.size
  elsif i.is_a?(Sketchup;;Group)
    num = i.entities.parent.instances.size
  end
  if @editpath.size > 1
    revpath.each {|i|
      if i.is_a?(Sketchup;;ComponentInstance)
        num = num * i.definition.instances.size
      elsif i.is_a?(Sketchup;;Group)
        num = num * i.entities.parent.instances.size
      end
    }
  end
  return num
end

mod = Sketchup.active_model 
sel = mod.selection

ruta = mod.active_path
(ruta) ? (ruta[ruta.size] = sel[0]) ; (ruta = []; ruta[0] = sel[0])
@editpath = ruta
count_instances()

hi all, I would like to know how to count the number of instances of a definition, the "Entity Info" window appears correctly but definition.count_instances do not, is there anything in the API or somewhere to get this information? attached skp file with which I am doing tests

instances.skp
thank you very much in advance for the help
(google translator)

Yes, if the user has applied a material without opening the instance, the material is assigned to the instance and not to the faces, then it would seem that after executing the code, the object has lost color

Unfortunately I have to perform the task outside the active context for what I'm going to use the method proposed by Dan, but I think you need to add the following properties;

material, attribute_dictionaries, layer, description, entity_name, name, receives_shadows, casts_shadows

I wonder if there are more properties that can be inherited by the new instance
(google translator)

thank you very much Dan and TIG this information is exactly what I needed

Hi all, I want to create a new group and place inside group or component with previously created in sketchup. I have observed that writing .Add_group(component) or .Add_group(group) may cause bug splats.. I do not know how to do this properly, Thanks in advance for your help

Here really:
http://www.sketchup.com/intl/en/developer/docs/releases

this is exactly what I wanted to see, thanks Dan

think there had never been so many changes and corrections in a single version!

interesting!
I see that now incorporate ruby 2.0 in the API, what new possibilities open to us?

I am very intrigued by the new things in the API for Sketchup 2014, I do not know if anyone has explained how these new things work, has anyone explained somewhere?
I'm intrigued Entities.active_section_plane = means that you can apply transformations to section_plane ? (Google translator)

I think in the plugin code "weld" is what you need
