yes that how i solved it full path and the number 7 that was displayed reffers to :

SU_ERROR_SERIALIZATION if an error occurs during reading of the file

thnx ^^

hello everyone,

did anyone ever tested the example code from the sketchup official website, The example that demonstrates how to load a SketchUp model from a .SKP file and read some data from it.

i was testing it but the model wasn't loaded.

SUModelRef model = SU_INVALID;
SUResult res = SUModelCreateFromFile(&model, "test.skp");
// It's best to always check the return code from each SU function call.
// Only showing this check once to keep this example short.
if (res != SU_ERROR_NONE)
std::cout << "error " << res <<"ok";
// return 1;

and when i tried to display the "res" variable it showed the number 7.

what did i did wrong ?

i meant the code u suggested is it for Ruby or C/C++ SDK ?

What i'm looking for is the degree of the angle between the face (wall for example) and the red axe and have that angle degree for each face,for example face 1 20°, face 2 80° ...

i didn't quite understand how can i do get the orientation,as it's my first time using Sketchup C/C++ SDK.

i meant by "N direction" an axe, for example find faces orientation using one axe red one for example as reference, because i need the degree of orientation.

do u have an example of how to find the orientation ?

thank you so much for your answer, this code works for C/C++ SDK in a C/C++ program or in Ruby ?
as i was all day finding just examples in Ruby and i've never used it before.

thnx

i'am new to Sketchup C/C++ SDK. I am creating a C/C++ program which gives me the geometry of a house model in Sketchup.I want to get the orientation of all the faces in the model and their Tilt. When I say the word 'Orientation' I mean to get the direction of every face relative to the N direction using the Axes in Sketchup and when i say Tilt i mean the degree of each face' tilt in the grey roof in this example.

Can anyone come up with a solution or a method to do that?

Thanks in advance

the tilt is to be measured from vertical i want to find the angle between the vertical line and the roof.

'Orientation' I mean to get the direction of every face relative to the Red Axe, for example a face will have orientation of 90 degrees as it is perpendicular to the red axis.

thank you

hello everyone i'm a newbie in Sketchup C api,

those anyone worked withe the Sketchup C api to get information about a house model ?

i need to get faces orientations (like for example 22° ) and roofs tilt (for example 45 °)from a house model, i found some code examples but they are all in Ruby.

those anyone have a piece of code as an example or were can i find some examples of Sketchup C api ?

thnx !!

hello how do u make difference between the walls (wall 1, wall 2) and when u receive the orientations how do u know each orientation belongs to which wall (wall 1 or wall 2 ) ?

Code: Select all
def azimuth
normal = self.normal

      return 0 if normal.x == 0 and normal.y == 0

      normal.z = 0
      angle = normal.angle_between(Geom::Vector3d.new(0,-1,0)).radians
      angle = 360-angle if normal.x < 0

      return angle +90
   end

hello i using Sketchup C/C++ api in a C/C++ code and i need to get orientation of walls and roofs from a house model like yours, is it possible to use this code too or is it just for Ruby ?

i also need to have roofs' degree of tilt , how can i do that ? does anyone have an idea ?

thnx a lot !!

Hello everyone,

I need to develop an application using Java or c#, and I need to read SketchUp files to extract some data like volumes, areas, facades orientations, facades inclinations ...

How can I do that ? Can I read SketchUp file from Java or c# application ? if so, how to do it? Can I launch a script (Ruby script) that can read and exploit the SketchUp file and use it? any ideas ? any examples ?

Thank you for your help !

Hello everyone i have an urgent project,

I have a 3D house model created using Sketchup and i want to be able to retrieve some information from it.

For example:

• Walls surface and orientation.
• Roofs surface and inclination.

And export it as a word/pdf document.

thank you in advance.
