Would love to have walls that are disappearing in 1 direction.
So when you turn around a house only the internal walls are visual at the back. The walls in front of the camera should disappear so you can select and draw things ride trough it without always needing to hiding and unhide.
Could be an option in material to color the back of a face not "transparent" but "non existing" 
For some reason it only shows a red cross where you click until selecting an other tool.
So the pop-up to enter or edit the 3D text doesn't show up anymore in Sketchup 2019 
Hi,
How can I prevent collisions? I can do this with 2 solid square blocks but not with something more complex. See attachment...
Thank you.
Sketchup Pro 8.0.16846 + SketchyPhysics 3.2-Dec2
Thanks!
I found the solution...
[update 2013-01-23]
def popup(msg="", timeOut=0, posX=20, posY=70) # 2013-01-23 onidarbe () gmail
# Popup a message (including html-tags & \r) with a timout and auto-resize the window
# A click on the popup-window will disable timeOut and has to be closed manually
# To see how it's working, add border;1px solid black; in the <div style='...'>
htmlCode = %{
<html onclick='clicked();' >
<div id='div' style='float;left; white-space;nowrap;' >

height=document.getElementById('div').offsetHeight;
document.write("<input type='hidden' id='width' value='" + width + "'/>");
document.write("<input type='hidden' id='height' value='" + height + "'/>");

win = UI;;WebDialog.new( "" )

# "View source" with Windows Notepad needs to have \r\n
win.set_html( htmlCode.gsub(/\r\n|\n\r|\n|\r/,"\r\n") )
# Although WebDialog without pref_key doesn't keep size or location, set_size does!
# Thereby start with a smaller window instead of a larger previous version
win.set_size( 130, 30 )
win.set_position( posX, posY )
win.show
UI;;start_timer( 0, false ) {
win.set_size( win.get_element_value("width").to_f+60,

Thanks again!
So Sketchup uses IE instead of Chrome, although I uninstalled IE? strange
Why does this produce an error in a WebDialog, but not if I run the HTML/JS in my Chrome browser?
msg = %{
<html>
<table>
<tbody id="test">
<tr> <td>xxx</td> </tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<script type="text/javascript">
tbody.innerHTML = "<tr> <td>yyy</td> </tr>";
</script>
</html>
}
win = UI;;WebDialog.new( "" )
win.set_html( msg )
win.show
Same problem using: document.getElementById("test").innerHTML
Thanks Dan!
But in this case I want for those maybe using my stuff to make it readable in notepad to
Ok, I should look for more functions...
But I just read somewhere that I can't assign shortcuts from within Ruby!
There should be a place where the shortcut are kept, right? A file or registry?
Does anyone know?
So this time it's not SU Ruby but MS-Windows
Thank you all.
However gsub! isn't the solution, still shows everything on one line in notepad!
I know <br> is the new-line in html, but I'd like to give out a html that also has new-lines using "View source" in notepad. Makes it more readable
But I've found the problem so it is solved 
It's stupid but I should have used .gsub(/\n/,"**\r\n**") not .gsub(/\n/,"**\n\r**")
Strange thing I don't grasp:
htmlCode = %{ <html> test </html>} win = UI::WebDialog.new( "" ) win.set_html( htmlCode.gsub(/\n/,"\n\r") ) win.show p htmlCode[7]
When I right-click the WebDialog on Windows 7 selecting "View source", notepad opens and shows no new-lines or carriage-returns, so everything is on 1 line like this:
<html> test</html>
Although selecting this and copy/paste it here or in notepad++ does show new-lines and carriage-returns like:
%(#0000FF)[<html>
test
</html>]
It is solved when I add a \n after each line in %{...}
although the Ruby Console is showing a 10, telling me there is alreeady a newline, \n
So why doesn't .gsub(/\n/,"\n\r") work?!
Another test shows .gsub(/\n/,"\n\r") is working, only not in the WebDialog !!!
"<html>\ntest</html>".gsub(/\n/,"\n\r")[7] 13
while this still shows 1 line in Notepad with "View source"
win = UI::WebDialog.new( "" ) win.set_html( "<html>\ntest</html>".gsub(/\n/,"\n\r") ) win.show
So I've made my own list, pfffff
How do I know if I got them all? I viewed the shortcut-functions in SU 2013 pro while selecting a component and nothing.... but maybe some functions only show up on other situations! ???
For those that like the list of all commands that i found that could be assigned to a shortcut, starting with those that are the default Sketchup shortcuts (version 2013.0.4812)

mmmm, how does System Preferences/Shortcuts/Function do it then?
If I can't get the list from SU then I need to find a list of all standard functions and search through all added plugins to get the rest from .menu(...).add_item(...)
So is there a list of all standard and hidden functions that I can assign shortcuts to as in: SketchUp/Context Help, Edit/Copy, View/Animation/Next Scene, Camera/Zoom Window, ...
Hi,
Does anyone know how to get a full list of all possible functions that can be assigned to a shortcut?
Like the list in System Preferences/Shortcuts/Function/... If possible even those functions that are only visible in a certain UI situation.
I want to make a better shortcut editor, looking like a excel/html table, something like <A HREF="http://www.martinrinehart.com/models/tutorial/tutorial_ar.html">this[/A]:
But with more futures:
All links to existing things are welcome
Hey Dan, Nice that I get a question from a guru 
So no, I didn't use msg.length. I let a DIV auto-resize around the message, then I read the width of the DIV and reset the window-size. This way I know exactly what size the text takes, never mind what system. At least that's what I'm thinking. Someone needs to test it on a Mac...
There is however still the size of the window-frame that I can't predict, so I added 30 & 60 to width & height. It would be nice if I find a solution to have my own narrow border without the header, if anyone has an idea, let me now...
You can see what is happening with the DIV if you add border:1px solid black; into the style, as this will show a frame around the message where I get the size from. To be able to resize the popup window, you need to change the last falseto trueas this stands for resizable!
Now I like to make my own advanced but simple UI.messagebox with input, checkboxes and radio's.
PS: I've added some remarks to the code above.
Thanks.
I'm trying to make a method that pop-ups a given message for a short time. I like it to have a auto width and height. Maybe I could use a DIV that automatically changes his size of what's inside. But how can I read the displayed size of that DIV back into Ruby?
msg = "
<html>
<div id='msg' style='border;1px solid black; float;left'>
All plugins reloaded from;<br>
#{folder}
</div>
<script type='text/javascript'>
width=document.getElementById('msg').offsetWidth;
</script>
</html>"
popup = UI;;WebDialog.new("", false, "WebDialog", 800, 200, 50, 150, false)
popup.set_html(msg)
popup.show
UI;;start_timer(2, false) { popup.close }
So how do I get that Javascipt variable: width back into Ruby?
Hi,
I like to calculate the width I should make a WebDialog to hold a certain sentence. Now it seems to be 8 times the amount of characters +20 for the border. But is this always the same on every computer? windows+mac?
What if I add some html formatting? So I was maybe thinking on using a hmtl DIV with auto-fit, but how do I read that back, calculate and resize the WebDialog?
Can I even lose the title-bar and/or the borders of a WebDialog?
thanks
myVar="Hello World" popup = UI::WebDialog.new("", false, "WebDialog", 20+8*myVar.length, 100, 50, 150, false) popup.set_html( myVar ) popup.show UI::start_timer(0.5, false) { popup.close }
Thank you, but even reading that twice and playing with it, I still don't see how to do it. I don't know if it's even possible what I'm trying.
module MR
def self.p(msg=nil)
puts msg
end
end
module MR_test
include MR
MR;;p "hello" #working
p "hello" #still not working ;(
end
Hi,
I've written my own method p(msg) which adds information above and a line-number before the printed values, as in:
4 p "hello" 5 p "world"
┌─┬─ filename ─ module::method ─ time.msec ─
│ 4│ hello
│ 5│ world
I placed this in a separate plugin-file but under the same module name. So all p ... are printed now with more information, though when not having this plugin it still has normal p ... -puts
Now I was wondering if I could have the p-method also in other modules of mine without making it global by not putting it in a module at all?
#mr_main.rb;
module MR
def self.p(msg=nil)
# Organises puts with line-numbers in a frame; ┌─┬─ filename ─ module;;method ─ time ─
puts "┌───┬─ " # ... full version attached to this post ...
puts msg
end
end
#mr_test.rb;
module MR
module MR_test
def self.test
MR;;p "working"
p "not working as I like it to call MR;;p"
end
test
end
end
