worked some time ago on a model2xml and it worked pretty well by extending each class with a to_xml so it was quickly implemented.

this can be implemented in the same manner but as thomthom it is not possible to have a 100% dump and then reimport it back to SketchUp and have the same model 😞

"Thingymajiggy"

Would that work better in Norwegian?

Seriously, Ruby is good because "plugin" and "Google SketchUp plugin" are synonyms here, but not out in the big world outside this forum.

We wound up using base64 encoding.

Great minds... Ruby had issues until I switched from chars 32-95 to 48-111.

Maybe, but I don't understand it myself. Rather than returning from the proc, the proc itself evaluates, and that is what is returned.

Seen Fredo's thread on Mac Webdialogs? http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=13394

Thanks, yes. That was in the first link. The second link was what I did about it.

When writing a component stepper and a layer stepper, I had to escape () both single and double quotes everywhere ...

Thanks! Bug gone.

Is that FreeMind? How do you get the thick lines?

nope, it is MindManager

let's start with a public file where we can gather the requirements and see what we will code - SURIDE req list. feel free to join in and post your wishes

Most plugins use the same convention - for a loading ruby and accompanying folder with support files zipped.

The only variation is some of the commercial packages comes with installers so users don't have to locate the SU plugins folder. But then you need to make an installer for each OS.

As for documentation - Fredo is a good example of well documented plugins.

Report Ruby bugs and Ruby documentation issues in this thread.

Done. Thanks.

Will the browsers accept that ID you give the element?

Hmmm. Yes for IE 8.

That's a like a very hacky wacky workaround. And the site talks about IE5 and Navigator... a wee bit old resource.

Martin,

I write all my code for Windows & IE I noticed some of your code had attributes that were not quoted. W3C says... Sometimes I assemble/modify the html as a string, then use set_html. All of my html is loaded as a string I've got 3 or 4 'dynamic' web dialogs in an extension at
http://www.ChampionEnt.net/tech/ur/
if any of it might interest you, let me know and I can post or send the code. Due to the 'modal window' issue, some of the code only works on a PC (settings window) Haven't really tested it lately on an Apple... Wrote some C# code to change an html file into a Ruby friendly string

HTH,

Greg

Maybe version 6 behaved differently? I can check...

No, 2 faces on the RG plane with opposite normals, +Z and -Z, each pushpulled +10, each extruded in the direction of the normal - so one went up, the other went down.

I put the diamond inside a cylinder, and then shrank the cylinder until the diamond's edge protruded a little outside of it.

I made a 32-sided polygon, 20' radius and Push/Pulled it up a foot. Deleted 30 sides. Turned the axes so one face was in the rg plane, laid guides and drew lines. Ditto the other face. Last, grouped and used a moving/copying rotate to finish the girdle. A neat, Sunday-afternoon modeling hack.

I'll be using this to decorate my UI in the other kind of ruby if I can ever finish fighting through the bugs.

Now I've got a ruby, 40' around reduced to an 88x64 px icon.

Is the callback attached to any events?
If not - it might be because the full HTML document isn't loaded...

The w3c insists that you put the <script>...</script> above the </body>. Please join in my subversive campaign against the w3c: http://www.MartinRinehart.com/articles/xhtml-strict-not.html

No no no. You should read up some more about separating content from layout in regards to web development. There are very good reasons why all best-practices articles discourages tag-soup.

You did not address the content of my article. Is your web the exclusive property of web professionals?

Are we drifting way off topic?

Try one of these "</script>" after lets say every 5 or 6 thousand lines.
