Still not available, the Chinese path and file name.

model = Sketchup.active_model
path=model.path
path1=File.expand_path(model.path)
path2=model.path.tr("\\","/")

path.class #-> string
path1.class #-> string
path2.class #-> string

path,path1 and path2, all class are string, all value are "/Users/liuzhenyi/Desktop/中文/测试.skp"
so,path=path1=path2.

{File.expand_path(model.path)} same as the original {model.path.tr("\","/") or model.path}

File.delete(), File.exist?() and File.rename() , I tested ,not supported chinese.

I use google search, found it difficult to support.

Thanks TIG. hope you have a good solution.

I would like to support chinese path as Sketchup's open_file method, model's save method why not support it?

model = Sketchup.active_model
path=model.path
path1=File.expand_path(model.path)
path2=model.path.tr("\\","/")

path.class #-> string
path1.class #-> string
path2.class #-> string

path,path1 and path2, all class are string, all value are "/Users/liuzhenyi/Desktop/中文/测试.skp"

Whether it can be said path=path1=path2.

model.save method see:
http://code.google.com/intl/en/apis/sketchup/docs/ourdoc/model.html#save
Should be filename is string, use path "/Users/liuzhenyi/Desktop/en/en.skp" ，it's ok.

Should make the save method, recognized the chinese filename and path.
unicode can solve? or rewrite the save method. SketchUp 8.0 Ruby version is 1.8.6，maybe sketch up 9.0 will support....

thomthom,Thanks a lot .

Thanks thomthom.

get string's method,see Tig's batchpurge plugin:

model=Sketchup.active_model
path=model.path.tr("\","/")

then, path is "/Users/liuzhenyi/Desktop/中文/测试.skp" (use mac ox system).

I will try it use UnicodeEX module， thanks again.

very cool.I tested and found model.save not is supporting chinese filenames and path, such as:

Sketchup.open_file "/Users/liuzhenyi/Desktop/中文/测试.skp"
-> true
model = Sketchup.active_model
model.save "/Users/liuzhenyi/Desktop/中文/测试.skp"
-> nil

HI,all,
A problem, about model's save method. don't support the Chinese filename and path. It's ok for Sketchup's open_file method. such as:
Sketchup.open_file "/Users/liuzhenyi/Desktop/中文/测试.skp"
-> true
model = Sketchup.active_model
model.save "/Users/liuzhenyi/Desktop/中文/测试.skp"
-> nil
How does it work? Thank you!

Well, ODM:
It appears I am denser in the head than most. I did not see how your reply pertained?

Mitcorb:

Sorry, My english is poor. I can not express my idea right, I'm trying to learn English.
I mean, SketchUp model of the size of the operation, and the computer's processor, memory and video card related. If you have a good computer, especially the graphics card, another big point of your model is not a problem.
hope you can understand, thank you.

SketchUp insert a picture, the larger the image file is not more clear. Pixel control 2000px below picture will be clearer. SketchUp, 8 better than 7.

SketchUp high demand on the graphics card, usually for nVIDIA better than ATI, SketchUp OpenGL for large models 3dmax excellent performance is not optimal.
