Thank you kindly for your recommendation , it's my task to do facade modeling. I'm revising codes in each module now to make it better.
I'm curious that Is there a way to do a code for copying different coloured panels and lay down on a base in the program ? For example , in a picture there are 2 different panels and I want to copy out. So, it can reduce a time of copying faces to draw patterns and convert to components, and then do mapping prototype panels back onto faces.
Hi,
I'm working on face-tag number of similar faces to tag the same number on normal faces and change colours to see the different panel types , could anyone give me some ideas how to do this method as you can see in a picture ? I'm not quite good at programming. I have to do this before doing component mapping on faces.
Thank you very much ,Jolran !!! I've tested the codes. There is still having an error about variable of 'xrotation'. I will try all my effort to solve the codes to link my component's folder which I've created 1 meter upright at the axis (0,0,0). This is my first plugin to do from the user's requirement. You are the first person who understand my project and give me an advice in here. I am much appreciated your ideas !. I can bring to sketch my flowcharts. If I can do the codes, I will inform you later. The big task of coding is waiting for me.I'm fighting 
Hi , Jolran
Patterned Model Data-edges and faces , the users have to create and draw by SU.
I agree with you now. This idea is complicated to do.
And when I read you idea , I can picture about it. Thus , I try to test for a square face I want the width to be transom(horizontal) , and the height to be mullion(vertical). That I can load the each type of components on face.bounds.
I did a code from your suggestions by steps.
1. Find face.bounds dimensions - Width and Height
2. Conditions before doing load component
3. Rotate origin Axis at the start position
4. Scaling length
I'm not sure how to compare in conditions
for loading components around a face.I have a basic of programming.I have been trying to load " Face.load_comp " in a ruby console but it has an error.
Thanks for recommending about WYSIWYG editor , I will gradually look about it. I use a free code editor of NotePad ++.

Thanks ! I should tell you about the background of this project.
I'm an architect , and designing a plugin which studied from the process of architects and facade designers.
This plugin is for architect's use when doing a schematic design , so we must have to redesign until clients like , then submit 3D model to the facade designers to do material take-off. Thus , we have to do 3D modeling as a real name of component's structure - The mullion and transom with designer's options to have no-cap or cap's features from the lists.
I studied from aluminium catalogs from many companies , and summarized that the plugin can contained these kinds of aluminium's style.I created lots of components for the mullion and transom in 1 meter high , saved in a component's file , but I can't share because it's a big file.
In Curtain Wall Modeling is the main part that I'm thinking what procedure should I do.
I want the process to be :
Architect provides " Patterned Model data - edges and faces "
The webdialog have to be defined and then convert pattern faces into 3D model which load components- mullion and transom from my data. But , in the theory , the mullion ( vertical ) can have 90 degrees or random degrees of edge , and the transom ( horizontal ) is 0 degree of edge. I'm still finding the way to solve for many months.I can't find the solution for now. The code is "Place-Face.rb" in a "rb/02_Profile".
OR Do I have to select edges manually by users and decide which ones should be mullions or transoms ?. Then the program will load from the selection edges. And apply colors for components and faces later ?.
The webdialog now is a test , suppose I created components for aluminium frames and faces for glasses. I choose only 2 selections for now , but it change the color sometimes component's color , and sometimes face's colors , linking from Def- "rb/02_Profile/AluColor" and "rb/01_Glass/GlassColor". If a plugin can change the color in one time , it would be nice.
The HTML created with Dreamweaver , I do graphic design and code in it.
I just know from you about WYSIWYG editor,never used it before.
The Visual studio , I learnt in the past for a basic programming in C#.
ApplyTo.new.getDef , There's no problem since It is called the Class and function from outside file. About the hash , it's very interesting. I will try it later.
My Icon buttons on the Toolbar can launch the WebDialogs when click them.
Correct , myprogram_arch() is the WebDialog.
But , now I've got some issues for selecting 2 options of component's color (frame colors) , and a face's color (glass colors). I test the webdialog , I want to select 2 options in one time , but it changes only component's color. If I want to change face color , I have to reset the frame colors to be -No-.
How can I set the Values ?
#==========================#
# Value Variables #
#==========================#
my_value = web_dialog.get_element_value("SchemeLayer")
frame_color_value = web_dialog.get_element_value("Frame_Colors")

Thank you so much for guiding me , Jolran ! I'm not specialized in Ruby. I try to learn.
Yes , ApplyTo is a class linking from other codes.
I used $globals because I studied the example from a keycuts_popper.rb
After reading your explanations , I thought about before codes.I had to change $globals name every time due to its conflict and when I click my other Icon on a toolbar to open a web dialog , it doesn't run. Now I come back to change @instance instead of $globals as you said.It's true.
@html_path = Sketchup.find_support_file "CA_Architect/html/index_Architectural.html", "Plugins"
@my_dialog = nil
def self.show_hide_program() # << This is a method not to show a webdialog when open a program every time.
if @my_dialog&&@my_dialog.visible?
@my_dialog.close()
@my_dialog = nil
else
@my_dialog = myprogram_arch()
end
end
In my html , I pasted the reference code on the top :
/*send action to sketchup ruby*/
function callRuby(actionName) {
query = 'skp;get_data@' + actionName;
window.location.href = query;
}
/*get action from sketchup ruby*/
function passFromRubyToJavascript1(value) {
var message = "You have " + value + " items selected.";
document.getElementById('output').innerHTML = message;
}
/*
On the "Select" button , I have onclick event. It's link to the above reference code :
<input type="button" onclick="callRuby('Select')" value="Select" />
Thank you very much Jolran , You are very nice guy ! I learnt from you.
This is one part of a web dialog.
After reading your suggestions , I revised my code and added a button 'Select' besides
a drop-down list. Now it works very okay.

load 'CA/rb/00_Scheme/Design-Change.rb'

web_dialog.execute_script(js_command)

Hi everyone ,
I'm designing a web dialog which contains a drop-down list for creating each layer depending on scheme options. First of all , a user has to select model then pick one of options , and it will put a model into 3 layers. I did this function already and load the def name outside a main program. But I don't understand about how to send data from ruby to html. How can I link option value ?
Many thanks !
Here is in html
Scheme ;
<select name="SchemeLayer" id="SchemeLayer">
<option value="No_Scheme">-No-</option>
<option value="Scheme_A" >Scheme-A</option>
<option value="Scheme_B">Scheme-B</option>
<option value="Scheme_C">Scheme-C</option>
</select>
This is in a ruby file
def myprogram_arch()
my_caption = "CA;Main Program"
wdarch = UI;;WebDialog.new(my_caption, false, my_caption, 200, 200, 200, 200, true)
wdarch.add_action_callback('get_data') do | web_dialogarch,action_name |
#==========================#
# Add Layers of Schemes #
#==========================#
if value = web_dialogarch.get_element_value("SchemeLayer")
puts create_scheme_A # Def function is called outside from an external file.
end
UI.messagebox "Layer created..."
end
wdarch.set_file($html_patharch)
wdarch.show()#####################################
return wdarch
end
Thank you very much !
Actually , I refer "round_to" in a class Fixnum below my main codes. I don't see any error.
It's my new knowledge about sprintf("%.2f", 1.23456)
[ruby]class Fixnum
def abs
rx = self
if rx < 0
rx = -rx
end
return rx
end
def to_meter
ufactor = 1.m
rx = (self) / ufactor
return rx
end
def round_to(x)
(self * 10**x).round.to_f / 10**x
end
def ceil_to(x)
(self * 10**x).ceil.to_f / 10**x
end
def floor_to(x)
(self * 10**x).floor.to_f / 10**x
end
def rad_to_deg
(self / Math;;PI) * 180.0
end
def deg_to_rad
(self * Math;;PI) / 180.0
end
def comma_format
s = self.to_s
if s.include? ?.
pre, post = s.split '.'
"#{pre.reverse.gsub( /\d{3}(?=\d)/, '\&,' ).reverse}.#{post}"
else
s.reverse.gsub( /\d{3}(?=\d)/, '\&,' ).reverse
end
end
end

Thank you kindly jolran and TIG.
@jolran , I always use round_to and it can run on SU 7,8.
Do I have to change to be ' float ' ?
I'm not expert in ruby.
@TIG , I will study about the export which you suggested to me.
I don't know how to do automatic part-numbers meanwhile changing each colored faces separately , then report sizes , pieces ,and area.
I'm trying to figure it out.
Hi , I have some questions.
I'm trying to distinguish face sizes with the part-number by using set_attribute( Generate part number and displaying colored faces) , and get_attribute ( Export in Excel ). But , I can't make same face size area to have same color , and count the pieces.
What should I revise to make it works?
Thanks so much

Here is my piktogramm to determine the degrees of edges on selected surfaces.
I would like to select only edges following to the condition of structure.
Mullion is random degree except 180 degrees , and transom is only 180 degrees.
Thank you kindly
Hi ,
Is there a way to " select edges on surface which depends on specific degrees " ,eg. Vertical structure is 360 degrees except 0 degree and Horizontal structure is only 0 degree.
After that , I can use the specific components to run along edges.
Thanks
Hi ,
I'm curious that Is there a method to calculate specific components by using model.definitions linked to a text file in the specification :
CW50X41.5 | 1.264 | kg/m | #
CW50X62.5 | 1.311 |kg/m |#
CW50X83.5 |1.450 |kg/m |#
then report the summary text file of -- name , quantity , length , kg/m --- Thereby , it can be used for further cost estimation.
I'm trying to write a ruby code to generate a component of Aluminium Profiles
which there are many types. My idea is undertaking to link the provided components
to run on edges and make a group of each component , then apply the material automatically.But,I can't find the method to do it. I would be very thoughtful to receive the suggestion.
Below is the code that do not know how to revise it.
RectangularFrame_location = Sketchup.active_model.definitions.load("C:\rec.skp")
transform = Geom::Transformation.new RectangularFrame_location
entities = Sketchup.active_model.active_entities
instance = entities.add_instance RectangularFrame_location, transform
