Export / Import DAE files are XML. You can select what you wish to save, and call: model.export( "some/path/filename.dae", optshash ) Create the options hash first with :selectionset_only => true Then import them using model.import

Thanks for all. The problem is done. The solution is to use ultraedit convert function(convert ascii to utf-8(unicode edition)). Originally, i use the notepad++ to convert utf-8 without BOM, and it seems not work as expected. Now, the split function can work correctly without any force_encoding, but the input from html should be converted using force_encoding("UTF-8"). Thanks again for TIG.

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, i can not use DOM parser to do xml parsing. [edit] I have used the libxml and its performance is good enough for me. I setup the old version libxml and copy the ruby files, dll to plugin folder of sketchup, it works for me.

Use the axis tool to localize ea line before making ea group (to fix - explode -make axes along the line - make group - repeate for ea line) Boxes should be gone.

You have the new plugin by Arcs Circles+ by Didier Bur today!

Either use 3 successive inputboxes... OR use UI::WebDialog

This idea is not new... http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=37510 https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/sketchupruby/XCW2zuW_lY8 etc Without considerable effort and extreme programming skills, you will almost certainly have to open each SKP in turn and export it as a jpg or png, then print that using a 'bat' file ? This is readily programmable in ruby...

SketchUp currently uses Ruby v1.8.6-p287 Ruby (v1.8.6-p287) Windows One-Click Installer Standard Ruby Library folders DO NOT belong in SketchUp's "Plugins" folder. They belong in the Standard Ruby Library folders. Once a user installs the full Ruby edition, SketchUp's Ruby can access it's library folders, by pushing library paths into SketchUp's **$LOAD_PATH** array. See: [ Code ] Ruby LOAD PATHs script (Win32)
