Hello,
Is there any options to make some Import settings to finetune the import.
For example: To include/exclude any sort of primitives like 3DPoint, Lines etc.
I can import my Autocad drawings properly with Blocks of 3D Faces, but get 3DPoints visible which acts as Grip-Points in autocad.
But I do not want them in SketchUp.
So any chance ot filter them on import?
(Or must I delete them from the blocks in Autocad before?)
Regards

Can you give some examples of what you script so we can get some ideas of what to add to a scripting interface?
I am not familar with Layout and it capabilitys since I am evaluating the specs for a possible future use.
When I undertstand it right Layout is a separte EXE/Modul and not running in the same process then SketchUp.
In Autocad the modellviews in modellspace are similar to the modellviews in paperspace.
Both can be reached from autolisp and automated/scripted.
So what I would expect from scripting layout:
Inserting forms/templates and filling their data-fields.
Drawing primitives (lines,arrows,text and whatever layout supports) in Paperspace
Placing views and set them up with view-points, camera-settings, rendermodes etc.
Iterating (reading propertys) through all elements in paperspace.
Interfacing with the SketchUp main-modul. (Starting a layout/print process in Sketchup/Ruby, doing the job (passing a ruby call to layout) in layout/Ruby and return back to the calling point in SketchUp)
Control (filenames/printers) the output (Printing/Exporting) with Ruby in Layout.
So be able to give a customer a cadalog with Sketchup Components and ready made forms/templates and custom ruby code/toolbars to allow him easy product customising.
(I hope I make it clear so far, since I am not native english)

Hello,
In Autocad I can script the layout and plot process with autolisp.
So is it possible to make layouts in Layout 2 automaticly with ruby and plot the result?

After open a SKP file containing a dynamic component, I'd like to try to change the component options by ruby code. And place another instance.
I am also interested in this question.
Furthermore I would like to know if it is possible to create a dynamic component at runtime with ruby code?
Or change it (Not only an option)?
Hello,
