Hello,

If anybody can resolve this one easily I would be most grateful.

Basically, when I draw a line across a face that is approximately rectangular, one that divides the face in two, sometimes sketchup creates two overlapping planes, or three or four planes. Why is this? Anybody got any quick good ideas?

As far as i can tell, all points on the face perimeter are in the same horizontal plane.

thanks

thanks for your help Chris, meant to reply sooner

but I want to see a list of components in ruby, ultimately so I can calculate the distance between two defined objects. I want to do this using code rather than measuring the distance as I ultimately want to apply a separate calculation based on the distance.

I was hoping it would take the form of:

List the components in ruby, say component_1 and component_2, listed as

component_1 [5,1,2]
component_2 [10,12,3]
etc

then I can use these points in space to do a variety of mathematical calculations

Thanks

Robin

A basic question I'ms sure this is but I can't figure out how to do it:

I have a component I have created (its a basic shape) that I wish to use in several sketchup models. I want to report the geometric data into the ruby console e.g. its centre point (in terms of x,y,z) once I have placed it into the model. How can I do this, given that the component has a specific name e.g. R1?

Many thanks for your help. Much appreciated

Robin
