Hi everybody,

do you know if there is any chance to integrate soap4r into SketchUp and have it (i.e. Ruby scripts based on soap4r) run by its Ruby interpreter?

I create several components which consist of other components, and these consist of other components and so on...
and now I want to get the structure/hierarchy of these components. I am able to read out all components, but not the structure. Does someone have an idea how to do that??

do you see a chance to rebuild the "create component" with ruby?
i.e. writing your own "create component" method (creating a ComponentDefinition)

if my hierarchy of components has 3 levels, is it possible to get the hierarchy of all the components (so that one can see of which components one component consists)?

well, actually I do not want to load it, but to store/save it in a file (skp file).
There is a method for Model objects to be stored. Can I somehow typecast the component object in a model object so that I can use the save method (of class Model)??
Or is there any other possibility to save the component in the local file system?

I store a component as an skp file on my computer. Is there a chance to get that skp file (if I have the component definition of the component)?? (So, I do not want to search for the file by typing in the path, but by using the relevant component in the model)

Could someone help me, please?

thx

is there also a possibility to store components automatically in a folder (as an .skp file)?

path=Sketchup.find_support_file "rectangle#1.skp"
does not work, even if I add the full path of the skp file as second parameter

Does someone have an idea why this does not work??
If I put the skp file in the plugin folder it does not work either.

where can I see that?

I create several components and put these components together to one component. Now I want to read out ALL components with ruby, i.e. the subordinate as well as the superordinate components. Does someone know how I can do that?
