Fantastic plugin! Since I begin using the 2013 version, I,m always annoyed with this same thing.
But I find that if I have mcafee in my system, the .vbs in the TEMP folder will be blocked, is there a safe folder can be used for the vbs, such as the sketchup folder? That will be better~

Great plugin~ I was worrying how to compare two designs the very last minute~

great plugin~! I just wanted this function a few days, for my works to display better~

Great plugin~

But.... if you delete a scene or two you'll end up with duplicate names. So if you want to avoid that, then you need to make some extra checks.

Done!

Ah - looking at your code now:

Your Scene is a constant. But you are using it as a variable.

You need to look into the difference between variables and constants. Initial capital letter means a constant in Ruby.

Here's an amended version:

I make the default name of the scene be made out of the number of existing pages in the current model. If you do it your way, with instance variables instead of constants, then it would just keep on counting between models.

I also cleaned up your indentation. Always keep your source code clean and organized, good indentation makes it easier to read - which is essential to debug and maintain your code.

Thanks Thomas~!! I use your code and now it's a correct version!
And the Scene name is the very same as the normal one~

Hi all,I'm a newbie in ruby, although being here several years...
I made a little plugin that lets you give a name upon adding a new scene~

Name : Named_Scene.rb

Date : v1.0 11/12/6

Description : To Let you rename it upon adding a new scene

Menu Item : View -> Add Named Scene

%(#a2a2a2)[Still have a problem, I want that: when clicking the menu or hot key, give you a small inputbox, and write the name, and create, you can also not change the default name, and add the new scene as normal~ The default name of the new scene can increase each time, I made the "Scene_Num" to do it but everytime it is "scene 1".

Who can teach me how to? ]

Thanks Thomthom~! I've updated the attachment below!
Now it works like this :
Hit the hotkey or click the menu item, give you an inputbox, you can choose to give the new a unique name, Or leave it to its default and create like normal: Scene 1- Scene 2- Scene 3-...
The first one define the new tab's name according to the number of existing pages:

Named_Scene.rb

Finally make the second one that do exactly the same thing as the normal scene tool, scene 1 - scene 2 - scene 3 - scene 4 - ... ignoring the number of existing pages, %(#BF0000)[will not have any duplicate names! ]
& Use the

File;;basename(__FILE__)

to ignore its own file name.

Hi all, after several years this small plugin has a bug because of the new version of ruby, and mariocha adds LanguageHandler in this version.The new modified version is here:
Named_Scene2.rbz

Er,I searched the google sketchup API, and maybe there's no such API to do this work? So it's no use to write such a plugin like this using Ruby.
I think it may be in the SelectionObserver class or camera class, and I don't find one... Dear Thomthom, Am I get the point?

I think you're finding this plugin:
http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=30078

like Jim says, if you don't have so many plugins to switch on and off, it's useful~

You mean you've downloaded the latest version: Sutool 2012?!
I searched the sketchupbbs.com and didn't find instructions about installing on mac...perhaps they didn't make the Macintosh version...
Btw I don't use the Sutool, search plugins in this forum, I think it's enough~
