This now works in windows Sketchup 2014. Probably ruby 2.x.x solved the problem.

Hi,
Has someone figured out what the equivalent of send_action 21124 for the mac is?
Thanks,
Robert

Hi,

Yes, on windows, I installed ruby187, replaced the msvcrt-ruby18.dll, and updated the $LOAD_PATH. The sinatra gem loads fine. Here is a snippet from the ruby console
("try.rb" is the ruby code shown in my first post):

load "./try.rb"

These are the same messages I get on the MAC. The MAC sketchup cursor then becomes
a "spinning wheel" and sketchup responds to http gets.

On the PC, sketchup does not go into any "busy" mode, and sketchup does not respond to http gets.

Thanks for your help.

I see no errors in the windows ruby console. One difference is that on the mac, after I run "MyTest.run!", the cursor becomes "busy". On the windows, after I run "MyTest.run!", sinatra does not start up. However, if I run "irb" on windows and load the same test, sinatra works.

On the Mac I get the model named as expected. But on Windows, the browser sits and waits for Sinatra to respond.

Hi,

I am looking into providing sketchup as a service through sinatra. I was able
to load the sinatra gem into sketchup. I created just a couple of routes:

require 'rubygems'
require 'sinatra/base'

class MyTest < Sinatra;;Base
    get '/test' do
        "thankyouverymuch"
    end
    get '/model' do
        Sketchup.active_model.name
    end
end

MyTest.run!

From a browwer I was able to get http://localhost:4567/model to respond with the model name,
but this only worked on the mac version. I was not able to get it to work on the windows version. I am using the latest version 8. Anyone try this before? Why does the windows version behave differently?

Hi,

I was looking for a way to capture a 3d walkthrough from sketchup
and stumbled across the Chris' way cool clf_camera_recorder. I added a few
lines of code to the "export_images" section so that it creates
the left eye view from the captured datapoints. This means when it
generates the images, it will actually create twice as many and will take
twice as long. The left sided images all begin with "left_".

After the images have been created, you can convert it to a video stream
using quicktime pro, or with the opensource program ffmpeg. For example,
if my images were called "imagexxxxx.png", then use:

ffmpeg.exe -i image%05d.png -vcodec png right_image.mov
ffmpeg.exe -i left_image%05d.png -vcodec png left_image.mov

You can then view it using your favorite 3d viewer. I use the one
available from 3dtv.at.

Enjoy!

After digging around various threads I figured it out:

1. Install the "loadpaths.rb" script (http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=29412)
   into SU Plugins. I modified it with:

$LOAD_PATH << "#{pre}/gems/1.8/gems/ruby-ole-1.2.10.1/lib"
$LOAD_PATH << "#{pre}/gems/1.8/gems/spreadsheet-0.6.4.1/lib"

2. Backup and clobber the msvcrt-ruby18.dll with the one from the ruby1.8.6 release.

3. require 'spreadsheet.rb' -> true

Hello,
How do I load rubygems into sketchup? I am interested in being
able to use rubygems to load other packages, like

gem install spreadsheet

Or maybe it is better to load the spreadsheet gem directly.
I have tried copying the gems files into the plugin directory
but it complained about 'date' method undefined.

Thanks,
Robert
