Thanks TIG it is a good point

Thanks TIG your generous script prints out unique arrays and it is not realy the exact case.

thomthom -> name, value
h{"name" => value, "name" => value,}

Looks like I havn't told all the details.

1. I have multidimensional array[] in Ruby
2. I want to send array[] to Webdialog using dialog.execute_script()
3. I want to send to PHP and arrange and do stuf with array[]

My array[] looks like this array[[value1, value2, value3,...],[value1, value2,...],...]

Im trying to transform array[] to hash{}
hash{0=>[0_0=>value1,0_1=>value2,0_2=>value3,...],1=>[1_0=>value1,1_1=>value2,...],...}

maybe I don't need transform, maybe I can send directly from Ruby to PHP without sending to Webdialog ?

Hi is there a fast way or some ruby libraries how to convert array[] to hash{} ?
Example of array[]:
a=[] a << [test1, test2, test3, test4]

How can I fill in hash{} with entity name and value?

Thanks Gábor and jiminy-billy-bob I combined both scripts and now understand how to do it

Does some one know how big(length) array ("v") I can send through ?
window.location='http://myserver.com/myfile.php?v=' + v;

Thanks I thought about it too, but could you pleas post small code example ?

It gives me blank page and doesn't transfer
data
array to that page

I will try to look at AJAX thanks.

Have some one tried to send data from Webdialog to PHP.
How to do it ?
I found that post_url could help but it doesnt.

data << [aa,bb,11,22] dlg = UI::WebDialog.new dlg.post_url("http://localhost/sketch/index.php",data)

Thanks it was the thing I was looking for

Hi!

No response ey? I give it a try.

Maybe this code is part of a larger piece, otherwise I have a little trouble following your logic.

Have never used shadow info, and do not have time to look up the methods revolving that.
Does it really return an angle?

What is entity ? a face?

Unless you are going to use those variables later why not just enter:

tr = Geom::Transformation.rotation(ORIGIN, Z_AXIS, rotation)
Does not really matter for solving this problem though..

Try putting a bang to it! Edit in place..

north_vector.transform! (tr)

I just wanted to automating angle between north and face.
With entity I meant "face".

Here is updated code

` north_angle = Sketchup.active_model.shadow_info['NorthAngle']
flat_normal = entity.normal.clone
flat_normal.z = 0
north_vector = Y_AXIS.clone
north_vector.z = 0
point = ORIGIN
up = Z_AXIS
rotation = north_angle.degrees
tr = Geom::Transformation.rotation(point,up,rotation)
north_vector.transform! (tr)
angle = (north_vector.angle_between(flat_normal)).radians

    if flat_normal.x < 0
       angle = 360-angle
    else
       angle
    end`

And here is Sketchup screenshot with my experiment.

For this example script gives that angle between will be 100but not 50, where is the problem ?

Can some one see:

1. why if I change north angle result is not changing?

` north_angle = Sketchup.active_model.shadow_info['NorthAngle']
north_vector = Y_AXIS.clone
north_vector.z = 0
flat_normal = entity.normal.clone
flat_normal.z = 0
point = ORIGIN
up = Z_AXIS
rotation = north_angle.degrees
tr = Geom::Transformation.rotation(point,up,rotation)
north_vector.transform (tr)
angle = (flat_normal.angle_between(north_vector)).radians

    if flat_normal.x < 0
       angle = 360-angle
    else
       angle
    end`
