I'm still (extremely) new to ruby scripting and Git, but I'd be happy to help where I can!

That's the end. Once it's an official API they won't fix/rename/add what has been urgently requested.

Great! Especially since so many issues are scattered over the forums (or burried miles deep under newer bug reports). I sometimes feel by reporting bugs we create the most awesomest bug collection, but the goal shouldn't stay purely contemplative, shouldn't it also be about realizing solutions?

This way we can collaborately work on it and "prototype" API fixes and suggest extensions.

Also there are so many subtle small issues/infos/experiences that would best be placed directly in the code or at the corresponding method in the API documentation (which we can't edit) – or in this github project.

Possibly related: This animation behavior.

Click any except the first to see they animate individually, but when the first is clicked it will animate all copies.

Animation on copies

Yes.. be more clear.

Is this YOUR tool, any author's tool, or the native tools ?

If it is YOUR tool, then no problem.

👍 👍

In pas trials, I noticed that the SU error message (whether for syntax at load time or at run-time) are not handled by the console Ruby object, but send directly to the console at C level.

I can't get this to work now. I know it used to work, and had used it daily. Maybe the latest version of SketchUp changed somehow?

It would nice if we could redirect all messages toward a known output stream.

Maybe we should ask the SU team

😐
I'd assume then that we are unable to capture it, as irritating as that is.

Thanks all 😄

The 'Housebuilder' plugin does the framing for roofs and floors/walls/openings etc...
See the Plugins Index or the 'crai' Depot [Didier Bur's]...
Thrre are two versions - one for metric and the original for feet/ins...

Attached is the file.

Sorry for the slow response 😛

Edit: Just remade the model from scratch and got the same issue.

sketchup_odd.skp

You could try with the transparency flags of .start_operation .

Looks a good place to pass on a nice link on String Encoding (that was posted to the ruby-talk-google.)
