Ok, after entering the first line into the Ruby Console, I got this...
UI.menu("Plugins").add_item("Export Corners") do
Error; #<SyntaxError; (eval);149; compile error
(eval);149; syntax error
UI.menu("Plugins").add_item("Export Corners") do
^>
(eval);149
I'm guessing the code isn't intended for Ruby, so where do I enter it to get the plugin working?
I'll be more specific there: it gave me a syntax error message on the second line...
Ok thanks a lot, but what language is this code in? I tried entering it into Ruby but it died on the second line... Sorry if i'm being awkward, my programming experience is limited - particularly with SU.
Just a string of numbers will probably do, like maybe co-ords of each corner of each group/component. I just need some text file data that MS Access can use to easily acquire the dimensions of groups/components in a SU file. It will probably easier if I can make an Excel spreadsheet though, instead of a text file.
I don't know how the contents of the dimensions file will be arranged, but i'll try to work with whatever I can get out of the SU model
And besides, the program's meant to be written for an end user, so the SU part of the whole thing has to be the freeware version...
Thanks all for your help
Ok there's no way I can afford SU Pro to export anything other than .kmz files. Is it possible to make a text file without exporting files, eg. using Ruby?
I'm doing a program for computing at college, and I need to input dimensions of 3D objects. It'd be great if I could make models of objects in Sketchup then have it generate a simple text file from which another program could read dimensions, for eventual use in visual basic for MS Access. For now, none of the objects will have any curved edges.
The text file will have to include dimensions of all the 3D objects drawn in a Sketchup file, preferably with some sort of reference number or name for each object.
I have no coding experience with Sketchup, so any ideas, code or solutions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
