    • RE: Possible to change component size to a fixed value?

      Thanks TIG,
      Didn't think of that. Since you can scale and "scale to a fixed size" using the Sketchup tools I thought I was just missing the method.

    • Possible to change component size to a fixed value?

      Is it possible to change the size of a component to a fixed size along an axis? I know you can use transform! or transformation to scale it relative to its previous size but I want to set it to a fixed length regardless of previous size.

      Thanks,

    • RE: Getting unexpected result when setting material color

      Thanks,
      I was using what I thought was normal notation for colors i.e. 0xFF9900. Sketchup expects 0x0099FF. Who'd a thunk.

    • Getting unexpected result when setting material color

      When I run this script I get a range of blue colors applied to the components. I'm trying to get a range of red colors. I've checked and double checked my colors to make sure I have the right hex code for them.

      mod=Sketchup.active_model
      ents=mod.entities
      sel=mod.selection
      my_colors=[0xFF3300,0xFF4719,0xFF5C33,0xFF704D,0xFF8566,0xFF9980]
      i=0
      ents.each do |e|
        if e.is_a? Sketchup;;ComponentInstance
             e.material = my_colors[i]
              i+=1   
        end
      end
      

      What am I missing?

      Thanks,
      Mark

    • RE: Possible to import DC attribute values?

      Thanks Chris,
      The info in your last post seems to be the type of info I'm looking for. I'll post this in a separate forum also, but do you have any recommendations as to where to start learning Ruby programming for Sketchup? About a hundred years ago I went to college for programming (pre-WWW days) but somehow ended up in the casino industry in a non-programming capacity. Wish I would have stayed with programming, I've always enjoyed it.

      Chris,
      I couldn't get the video to play in the linked topic. I don't know that it would matter though. I think this is beyond my knowledge. I didn't make it past the first paragraph before I got that look a dog gets when they hear an unfamiliar sound. Thanks just the same.

    • Possible to import DC attribute values?

      If I have a DC with a custom identifier attribute like ProductNum is it possible to import and set a different attribute, say LenZ based upon an external file? Basically I would like to use Sketchup to visualize performance data. An example file might be something like:
      A34 3.5
      B22 9
      B33 7

      Perhaps with a custom Ruby script?

      Thanks,
      Mark
