thanks!

Around line #302 is the text
end#def Volume::process
place you additional code on its own line, just before that - vol.erase! etc to remove the vol-group etc...

I have collected some links to Platform differences in the [ Code Snippets ] index.

Ken... I've given you an example in the 'parallel thread' that you started.

Yep, got that TIG. Thanks..and sorry for repeating the post.

I think you might get more answers in the developping forum, asking this.
But I'll give it an attempt.

NO. You need Webdialog for checkbox. (very sad indeed)

I'm guessing no, since we are doing promts. Prompts need to be delt with, and what you are saying you want to do, there is already 1 prompt running when you want to excecute another.
Hopefully I'm wrong.

However you can have multiple promts succeding each other.

For ex(biased info), like Hatchfaces crosshatching. By dropdownlist user selects YES or NO for crosshatching and click OK on the inputbox, who closes.

IF you clicked YES for "crosshatching", another different prompt pops up.

Stuff like that. You can have a look at the code. TIG helped me with that, so it should be "OK" on that part..

You can only use entities.add_instance() of a definition, BUT there's no built in group.definition method 😒 , BUT all components, groups and images are all just types of instances of a definition.
To find a group's definition you have to find its entities' parent which is the definition - so
defn = group.entities.parent

ComponentDefinition
just as the much snappier method defn = instance.definition does for a component-instance !
The second argument of the entities.add_instance(defn, **tr**) is the transformation used to place/manipulate the new instance...

Well said thomthom...
My code snippets will work in the Ruby Console for testing...
BUT a typical format for simple code is
` module Kybasche
def self.box()

box code in here

end
endThen Kybasche.box()` draws a box
You add to it with extra code, like a dialog for its sizes or material[s]...
If you want to make a tool [class] where you pick points etc then this can be done inside the module too...
