The "Ruby Console" is 'built-in' to SketchUp, it's always available... so use: Sketchup Menu > Window > **Ruby Console**... BUT, before asking such simple questions, please try to learn to use some of the myriad of Help files and search options that Sketchup offers - it clearly explains this particular issue here, when used with a with an search for 'open Ruby Console'... http://support.google.com/sketchup/bin/search.py?hl=en&ctx=en%3Asearchbox&query=open+Ruby+Console&oq=open+Ruby+Console&gs_l=partner.3...1565.1899.0.2148.3.3.0.0.0.0.63.179.3.3.0.gsnos%2Cn%3D13..0.0.313j48989j3j2..1ac.1.YGB9iEqjChI We're here to help on the more awkward stuff

rain can be simulated through the style builder. you can most likely find them already built.

I also have one - I gues after a while everyone will cretae his/her own [flash=640,480:3e0grkv6]http://www.youtube.com/v/VvI6A7Njw4k[/flash:3e0grkv6] As for softening edges... select all and right click > soften/smooth edges. A dialog will pop up where you can pull the slider to the right until you are satisfied. This will soften every edge with the same degree. softening selectively can be done with the Ctrl + tool

In addition to right clicking to update a component, you can also save a component to its own sketchup file. You can then have multiple versions of this component and load in the one you want. It also allows multiple people to work on a project at the same time. You can flip a component along its x, y or z axis to accomplish a mirror.

I would use pipe along pathhttp://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=1709 and give the line a very small outer dia and 0 inner dia. Then apply a dark gray or black material to it. The other way would be to mess around with a toon material, but you still need a face of some sort to apply the texture to.

Email support@chaosgroup.com and give them your serial number with error summary.

No. Use preset scene-tabs to quickly flit between views, and Pan/Orbit too...
