Hi,

I have been working on those materials and I came to a solution. But still there's a problem.
This is details.rb file

` dialog = UI::WebDialog.new("Details", true, "", 410, 875, 1030, 0, true)
dialog.add_action_callback("pass_data"){|dialog,htmlpage|
java = "set_details(#{@name.inspect},#{@description.inspect})"
dialog.execute_script(java)
}

dialog.set_file 'C:\Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 8\Plugins\set_id\details.html'
dialog.show()`

This is details.html file

<html>
<head>
<script>
function callRuby(htmlpage) {
query = 'skp:pass_data@' + htmlpage;
window.location.href = query;
document.write(query);}

    function set_details(a,b){
document.write(a);
document.write(b);}

 </script>

</head>

</html>

only "skp:pass_data@pull_selection_count" is the result on the webdialog box.
What i want is to display the values of the Ruby variables name and description.

Do you have any ideas for fixing this?
Thank you in advance.

Dear All,
I want to implement a webdialog in Sketchup to display data from a database.
This below link was very useful.
http://sketchupapi.blogspot.com/2008/02/sharing-data-between-sketchup-ruby-and.

What I want to do is as following.

1)From the Ruby program, the database will be accessed and necessary data will be retrieved.
2)Then this data passed to the webdialog and show to the user.

However in the above example, the webdialog contains a refresh button. users has to click that refresh button to view the data.

What i want to is display data directly without a refresh button.

Is there a way to pass string data from Ruby to HTML directly.

Do you have any suggestions and any of you have try working with webdialogs?
its bit difficult for me because i have to learn HTML and Javascript too.

Dear all,

I’m working on a school project. I’m developing a 3D model using Sketchup through Ruby extension. I want to draw a parallel line for a curved line.

The curved line was drawn using Ruby API command entities.add edges. The points of the curved line were provided by a Ruby array.
Now I want to draw a parallel line for this curved line. Do you have any suggestions please?
Thank you

Dear all,

I need to access a Sketchup 3d model through a web browser. The real model will be saved in a server. Clients should be able to explore the SU model. they should be able to orbit around and walk through the model. This should be just like browsing the internet and viewing web pages. Users don't have to download and install any plugin to view the model.
is this possible to achieve?
Thank you in advance

Dear all,
Does anybody know about a Ruby API command to offset a line? I already checked the API.
It has a command to offset a point.

point1 = point2.offset vector

But i need to offset a line, like a parallel line. Is there any command in Ruby API which i can work with or any suggestions to offset a line(draw a parallel line)?

please help me, im stuck here

thank you in advance

Dear all,

I need to calculate the angle between North and a line connecting two latlong points. I have number of pairs(about 50) latlong points. For each and every case, i need to calculate the angle between North and the line.
Later, I wished to use this, calculated angle to rotate an object.
Do SketchUp and Ruby API has a specific function to facilitate this need?(when you have two latlong points, it gives you the angle between north and the line) or do you have any suggestions to make this happen?

Thank you in advance

Dear all,
I like to control the layer visibility over html web dialog box for displaying purposes. layers should be controlled by ticking in a html check box.

thanks in advance.
