Hello,

I need to create a model that consists in a small part of a city like this:

I already have the buildings but I need a ruby function to paint the floor with the same effect of the picture. I am doing a plugin of wireless coverage so the red zone means good reception power and the green zone means low reception power.

Is there any way to achieve the same color effect to paint the models floor?

You mean the statusbar? You can certainly output text there, but it does tend to stop refreshing during long tasks. What I hope we can do now that we are a full team on the Ruby API in SketchUp is get a ProgressBar class. But no promises!

I dont want to output text in the status bar I want to show the progress bar at the bottom while ruby calculates stuff

There is a progressbar (in the status bar), sketchup uses it sometimes

Hello,

Is it possible to use the "Working.." Progress bar of sketchup (at the bottom) while ruby performs a expensive function?.

Thanks

Hello,

I need a ruby function to call the open dialog box and then load the selected skp file.
I tried with UI open panel function but it doesnt load the selected skp file.
I just need to open skp files.

Thank You

Hello,

I know that I can import a geo location to the model using the Google Earth button, but I want to import all the buildings related to that geo location.

I want to have a 3D model of a city (or part of a city), Is there any way to import all the buildings related to a location?

Is there any other method to import a geolocation data and have the buildings related to that location (no matter if the buildings are represented by cubes)? maybe with GIS? or something like that?

Thank you

Do really mean an Edge? As in you don't just want to test whether a ray (an imaginary line in space) intersects an entity, you really want an Geometric Edge (and all the semantics that go with it)?

Yes I need to know if the direct path (a imaginary line ) between 2 entities is obstructed or not

For example

[entity1]--------------------[entity2]

in this case theres nothing in the direct path between the entities so i need a function like entity1.line_of_sight? entity2 true

but in this case

[entity1]------[cube]---------[entity2]

theres a cube in the direct path so the direct path is obstructed then
entity1.line_of_sight? entity2 false

Hello, I need to know if an edge is intersected by any entity (group, face,component)
for example in this case:

----------------[face]--------------------- there is a face in the middle of the edge
i need a function like
edge.is_intersected? true

-------------------------------------------- in this case theres nothing in the edge so
edge.is_intersected? false

But i dont need a function like (edge.is_intersected_with? face), I just want to know if an edge is intersected by anything. I tried with all_connected, faces, but it doesnt work

Thank You
