Hello All,

I am doing some error checking to see if a point lies on a face. I think the correct method is to use Face.classify_point. However, in the Sketchup API reference, this entire section is blank. I have done some testing and shown the following:

If the point is on the face: Function returns 1
If the point is on the face and is on a line: Function returns 2
If the point is on the face and is a vertex: Function returns 4
If the point is NOT on the face but is on the face plane: Function returns 8
If the point is NOT on the face and is NOT on the face plane: Function returns 16

Can anyone verify/vouch that this is the correct function? Is my list accurate? Is there another method to do the same thing?

Thanks,
Chris

Anyone work with true compiled plugins? I am curious to what is needed to go beyond the rugy scripts (I have an idea that I think will generate some income for my hobbies!)

Thanks,

I would think this needs to be a material. I have actually done this the hard way in several different solid modeling programs. It works but it slows things WAY DOWN. The same goes for threads on screws...

.rbs seems to be a compiled version of the plugin. This is how they keep the inner workings of the programs secure (read as $$$ making). I, for one, would like to see how they did it but i don't think it was that hard.

I do not remember the old SCF but I do like what is here now. I mostly stay in the Ruby forum and everyone has been very helpful. I just hope that I can be of help to someone else.

done!
