OK, thanks.

I had a quick look at the website, and the rd edition deals with ruby 1.9, perhaps SU uses 1.8?
Exactly. Sketchup uses a real old Ruby (1.8.0). Most of the Ruby programmers use 1.8.6 (or 1.8.7) at the moment. Betwenn 1.8.6 and 1.8.7 they made some changes influenced by the development of 1.9.0 (and 1.9.1). But alos betwenn 1.8.7 and 1.9.0 (1.9.1) there are a lot changes.

Makes sense, what version of OpenGL did SU6 support? But guess that's not the point so it doesn't matter.

The offending computer is at another physical site. I will post the info you requested later, but any speculation on why inserting certain components (see initial post) corrects the system's video display?

Thank you,

Taff,

Thanks, I was in the process of taking a educated swing at it; just hoping that someone knew off hand. Currently, the dxf file I import is a simple entity file of 3dfaces(no blocks, etc.) and it imports into Su as a component with the file name. I am guessing that blocks may be treated as components, and was setting up a test to see if I was right. The fact is that my knowledge of dxf is very weak and while my original translator works, it was designed more by brute force them finesse.

I looked at your file and I see lots of stuff in it that I do not use (or know how to use), but will take your approach if mine fails.

Guys I swear I would tell (and / or fix) if I knew. I have never had any similar problems with the board so cannot even "try" what it is like.

No,it is not stuck.If you see PM's in there, it means that they are sent already but haven't been read by the addressee. Once they read them,they will "move" to the Sent messages folder.

Two ways to contact the administrator:

send me a PM (I read every PM, don't worry) send me an email (the link is in my signature)
To find out who to ask for help, go down to the bottom of the board index and click on the "Administrators" or "Moderators" link. Or even better, in the "Who is online" list, you can always see which moderator (in bold) is online at the moment. You can always send them a PM - they (we) are here to help you.

I hope you do not mind me adding 'Su2Pov' to your title, as I do not use the app and it may attract the help you need from the developer or knowledgable user.

As an ancient marina, the concepts of Ruby, and OPPS originally fail to easily register on my consciousness. The following is the degree to which I currently understand them as applied to SUs Ruby API.

A class is the generic form of an object. Objects within a class share the same class characteristics, the differences between objects are found in their variable differences. A class "box", results in objects, that differ in height, width, or length.

Methods nare procedures that dertermine a variable's value. For example, the boxes height = volume/(width*length).

A SU Ruby plugin is a program that utilized the SU Ruby API to affect a SU model.

Solo, Thanks for your input and help. How did I get my model below ground? Well got to be more careful. Maybe a function of the Drw2Dxf2Faces2Skp conversions to bring the model into Su.

Success at last

Now I can move on to other embellishments.
