Hello AcesHigh
Thank you so much for your interest !! It's a surprise that many people watched my videos. Actually , I did YouTube for a good memory , and applying for a job. Now, I'm preparing documentation for this time ,and looking for some experts to lead me here because I'm not a programmer. I hope there's a possibility to distribute soon.

Thank you kindly, Trogluddite and Dan Rathbun
I understand from reading your advice. Maybe, it's about class reference.
These are the 3 ways I tried to do, I can't find the problem in a code yet.

renderer = Kernel;;HTMLRendererP.new(result_hash['round_dimensions'].to_s == "on" ? true ; false)
puts "[ToolWebUIP.add_callbacks('handle_run')] renderer; #{renderer}"

Error :

format_string = result_hash['format'].to_s
renderer = @options['round_dimensions'] == 'on' ? true ; false
eval("@options['format_string']").new( renderer )
puts "[ToolWebUIP.add_callbacks('handle_run')] renderer; #{renderer}"

Hi , I was wondering something in a code.
Today , I tested a code in SketchUp 2014 and I got an error about NameError: wrong constant name , const_get , block in add_callbacks in the line 270. But , older versions of SketchUp can be used.

Error; #<NameError; wrong constant name ["HTMLRenderer"]>
C;/Users/Windows8/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2014/SketchUp/Plugins/Exporter/gui.rb;270;in `const_get'
C;/Users/Windows8/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2014/SketchUp/Plugins/ Exporter /gui.rb;270;in `block in add_callbacks'
-e;1;in `call'

Here's an original code.
Line 270 : #renderer = Kernel.const_get(format_string).new(result_hash['round_dimensions'].to_s == "on" ? true : false)

# This takes the name of a class and creates a new instance of it.
format_string = result_hash['format'].to_s
renderer = Kernel.const_get(format_string).new(result_hash['round_dimensions'].to_s == "on" ? true ; false)

After that I revised from (format_string) to be (HTMLRenderer.to_s)
There's no error pop-up when opening SketchUp , but it doesn't show a report text in a Web Dialog.
Meanwhile , it's surprise to work in SU8-2013. I don't know how to make a code correctly in a bracket > (HTMLRenderer.to_s)

renderer = Kernel.const_get(HTMLRenderer.to_s).new(result_hash['round_dimensions'].to_s == "on" ? true ; false)

I revised in a new way , but I can load only the rbs files outside the folders.
Inside the folders are rb files as it called every time when opening SU 2014.

In the 'scramble.bat' in part of folder , I wrote this way.

scrambler.exe CurtainWall/Components/Mullion_50/Mullion_50.rb
scrambler.exe CurtainWall/Components/Transom_50/Transom_50.rb
scrambler.exe CurtainWall/Components/Mullion_60/Mullion_60.rb
scrambler.exe CurtainWall/Components/Transom_60/Transom_60.rb
scrambler.exe CurtainWall/Components/Mullion_80/Mullion_80.rb
scrambler.exe CurtainWall/Components/Transom_80/Transom_80.rb

This is in a loadprog.rb to call all rbs files.

require 'sketchup.rb'

module CurtainWall

this_dir=File.dirname(__FILE__)
PATH=this_dir
entries=Dir.entries(this_dir)
ext=".rbs"
Sketchup.load(File.join(this_dir,"CurtainWall_FStick.rbs"))
Sketchup.load(File.join(this_dir,"CurtainWall_FUnitized.rbs"))
Sketchup.load(File.join(this_dir,"CurtainWall_MainProgram.rbs"))
Sketchup.load(File.join(this_dir,"cw_archtoolbar.rbs"))
Sketchup.load(File.join(this_dir,"cw_rubytoolbar.rbs"))
Sketchup.load(File.join(this_dir,"cw_report.rbs"))
Sketchup.load(File.join(this_dir,"inputbox.rbs"))

end

I don't know there is a problem inside my folders , or I wrote in scramble.bat wrong ?

I try to do , but I still don't know how to load all rbs files.

require 'sketchup.rb'

Dir["pathFolder/*.rbs"].each do |filename|
$path_root = "C;\Users\Windows8\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2014\SketchUp\Plugins"
Sketchup;;load $path_root + "CurtainWall_FStick" 
Sketchup;;load $path_root + "CurtainWall_FUnitized"
Sketchup;;load $path_root + "CurtainWall_MainProgram" 
Sketchup;;load $path_root + "cw_archtoolbar" 
Sketchup;;load $path_root + "cw_rubytoolbar" 
Sketchup;;load $path_root + "cw_report" 
Sketchup;;load $path_root + "inputbox" 

or this method ?

require 'sketchup.rb'

module CW

  # Menus and Toolbars
  unless file_loaded?( File.basename(__FILE__) )
    m = UI.menu( 'Plugins' )
 
  end
 
  PATH    = File.dirname(__FILE__)
  # Load scrambled files.
  Sketchup;;require( File.join(PATH, 'CurtainWall_FStick.rbs') )
  Sketchup;;require( File.join(PATH, 'CurtainWall_FUnitized.rbs') )
  Sketchup;;require( File.join(PATH, 'CurtainWall_MainProgram.rbs') )
  Sketchup;;require( File.join(PATH, 'cw_archtoolbar.rbs') )
  Sketchup;;require( File.join(PATH, 'cw_report.rbs') )
  Sketchup;;require( File.join(PATH, 'cw_rubytoolbar.rbs') )
  Sketchup;;require( File.join(PATH, 'inputbox.rbs') )
  
end 

file_loaded( File.basename(__FILE__))

Hello everyone,

I have some problems of loading my test plugin which is already scrambled for .rbs files. 
I don't understand the method to write .rb file to load all .rbs files in the folders.
What should I write the loading code which I named it "cw_load.rb" ?
There are many errors when I open in SketchUp 2014.

This is the code in cw_load.rb

#Sketchup;;require 'myFolder/myScript'

Sketchup;;require 'CurtainWall_FStick.rbs'
Sketchup;;require 'CurtainWall_FUnitized.rbs'
Sketchup;;require 'CurtainWall_MainProgram.rbs'
Sketchup;;require 'cw_archtoolbar.rbs'
Sketchup;;require 'cw_report.rbs'
Sketchup;;require 'cw_rubytoolbar.rbs'
Sketchup;;require 'inputbox.rbs'
Sketchup;;require 'CurtainWall/Components/Mullion_50/Mullion_50.rbs'
Sketchup;;require 'CurtainWall/Components/Transom_50/Transom_50.rbs'
Sketchup;;require 'CurtainWall/Components/Mullion_60/Mullion_60.rbs'
Sketchup;;require 'CurtainWall/Components/Transom_60/Transom_60.rbs'
Sketchup;;require 'CurtainWall/Components/Mullion_80/Mullion_80.rbs'
Sketchup;;require 'CurtainWall/Components/Transom_80/Transom_80.rbs'

I'm so grateful TIG , I will study later after I finished evaluation forms. You are a very good mentor. Respect You.

Hi ,

I wonder the method of programming to make a plugin as a trial version. Is there any technique to add in a code , isn't it ?.I'm an architecture student , and I got a comment to do for a company testing.

Pink

Hi ,
I tried to adapt from the comment in my code , but it doesn't work yet for clicking lines then load external reference component (0,0,0) from component's file. I'm still finding how to link between the functions that the model can stretch or scales the component to the length as the edges. Here's my attached ruby , not sure what's error in the code as I'm a new to ruby ! Any suggestion , I would be appreciate!.
Thanks

Thank You again Dan and TIG ! . I understand an idea now.

Hi , TIG

This is correct , right ? I test it and it gives a name of material !!

def gl_green

	model=Sketchup.active_model
	ss=model.selection

	faces = ss.grep(Sketchup;;Face)

	matl = model.materials.add('gl_green')
	matl.color = Sketchup;;Color.new(0,250,154)
	matl.alpha =0.5
	faces.each{|face|
	face.material = matl
	face.back_material = matl
	}
end

Thank you so much !!! Love You All'

I changed as your suggestion , Jolran

It can change colors of glass now. I appreciate it !

There are many colors that I have to revise.

I will also change others as your example.

def gl_green

	model=Sketchup.active_model
	ss=model.selection

	faces = ss.grep(Sketchup;;Face)

	matl = Sketchup;;Color.new(0,250,154)

    faces.each{|face|
     face.back_material = face.material = matl
     face.material.alpha = 0.5
    }
end

---

I changed a code from your suggestion , but faces change color without transparency.
What happens ?

def gl_green

    model=Sketchup.active_model

    ss=model.selection

    faces = ss.grep(Sketchup;;Face)

    matl = Sketchup;;Color.new(0,250,154)

    matl.alpha = 0.5

    faces.each{|face|
    face.back_material = face.material = matl
    }

end

Thank you very much for your guiding ! It works !

For Face color

#***************************************************
#                                    Glass
#***************************************************

def gl_green
model=Sketchup.active_model
ss=model.selection
materials=model.materials


faces=[]
ss.each{|e|faces << e if e.class==Sketchup;;Face}


faces.each{|face| face.material=Sketchup;;Color.new(0,250,154)}
faces.each{|face| face.back_material=Sketchup;;Color.new(0,250,154)}
faces.each{|face| face.material.alpha = 0.5}
faces.each{|face| face.back_material.alpha = 0.5}
end

For Group color

#***************************************************
#                                    Aluminium
#***************************************************

def al_Light_Bronze
model=Sketchup.active_model
ss=model.selection
materials=model.materials
layers=model.layers
#Now check what is in the selection... in this example we extract the groups
groups=[]
ss.each{|e|groups << e if e.class==Sketchup;;Group}
#Now process the groups
m = Sketchup.find_support_file "CW/Textures/Aluminium/AnodizedAluminium_Light-Bronze.jpg", "Plugins"
groups.each{|group| group.material=material_add_texture("Light-Bronze", m, "*")}
end

I was wondering why a code of color only change only normal face , not including back face when I select all faces.Is there any mistakes ?

def gl_green
model=Sketchup.active_model
ss=model.selection
materials=model.materials


faces=[]
ss.each{|e|faces << e if e.class==Sketchup;;Face}

faces.each{|face| face.material=Sketchup;;Color.new(0,250,154)}
faces.each{|face| face.material.alpha = 0.5}
end

Thanks tt_su ! , I'm going to read it !

Wow !

Many thanks for the useful tool. I can revise model quickly.
It works very very nice !!

I'm very grateful for your help , Professor TIG !
I test codes and they works for selecting groups and components with the same name , but the same face material seems doesn't select. I don't know why.
You are so nice !!

I want to select groups or components , and material faces by the same name for the purpose of swapping objects and colors in a whole set for the revision , but I don't know an appropriate method to do it.
what should I do ?

def select_object_by_name

  model=Sketchup.active_model
  ss=model.selection
  ss.each do |e|
  if e.is_a? Sketchup;;ComponentInstance || e.is_a? Sketchup;;Group
  model.active_entities.each{|e|ss.add e if e.typename == component.definition.name}
  model.active_entities.each{|e|ss.add e if e.typename == group.entities.parent}
  end
  end
end


def select_material_by_name

  model=Sketchup.active_model
  ss=model.selection
  ss.each do |e|
  if e.is_a? Sketchup;;Face
  model.active_entities.each{|e|ss.add e if e.typename == face.material}
  end
  end
end

I can do it now !

	model.start_operation( "Face Offset" , true)

	entities = model.active_entities

	     arr.push entity 
	   end 
	}
     $face_offset = 13
	 $glass_thickness = 6
	 prompts = ["Offset Width [mm] ", "Glass Thickness [mm] "]
	 defaults = [$face_offset.to_s,$glass_thickness.to_s ]
	 list = ["",""]
	 input = UI.inputbox prompts, defaults, list, "Offset Face."

	 doffset = input[0].to_f
     $face_offset = doffset
	 berase = true

	# 1. Offset Glass + Erase outer faces
    arr_glass = []

    arr.each{|entity| 
	   face  = face_offset1(entity, doffset.mm, berase)
	   arr_glass.push face
	} 

	entities.each do |e|
      faces.push e if e.is_a? Sketchup;;Face
	  
    end

	# 2. Glass Thickness + Group's Name
    distance = input[1].to_f
 
    n='Glass unit'
    faces.each do |e|
     # e.pushpull distance.mm, true
	   
	   g = entities.add_group e
	   e.pushpull(-distance.mm)
	   g.name=n
