if you ruby geniuses could figure out a way to either A) add faces to nested edges or b) find a way to control individual faces/edges within a component via DC then these things could be awesome.. otherwise, DCs appear to be limited to cubes for any practical construction application (and that's a huge limit imo because the cube type stuff is super easy to draw anyway)..

I wholeheartedly echo that request.. this would overcome a variety of issues for my work. I design for events, and have made all my own lighting fixtures / speakers / projectors etc, which are all DC's that I can adjust the attributes of (some of my library is published here: http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/cldetails?mid=e94a8eafed72d755701d728505a21ed0&prevstart=12). But I come across that stumbling block frequently, with wanting to do something as simple as move one face of a cube (not in alignment with the cube, but side-to-side.. like a parrallelogram)..

Custom functions are a helpful half-way point but if everyone needs the same ruby script installed to be able to utilise it, they don't serve all that well. Is there any way to address individual edges/faces of a component using ruby in a DC spreadsheet formula? If I can do that, and modify them using existing functions, then I'd be more than satisfied.

Thanks !
