I was needing something like this last week.. And while thinking how it might be done, it would seem an elegant way might be to write it so an arbitrary fragment of Ruby is evaluated with known arguments. You could have some "presets" - as you do - but they would simply be preset Ruby fragments that are eval-ed on the arguments. Users could add any Ruby fragment they liked to extend it. two cents worth and all that.. Adam

no worries, Sam. Thanks for your input...

Hello. I'm trying to launch the Stair Maker plugin in SketchUp 2017. I get this error Error: #<NameError: uninitialized class variable @@ss_height in SDM::Stair_Maker> C:/Users/Silent_ip/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2017/SketchUp/Plugins/StairMaker/StairMaker.rb:287:in put_defaults' C:/Users/Silent_ip/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2017/SketchUp/Plugins/StairMaker/StairMaker.rb:84:in reset' C:/Users/Silent_ip/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2017/SketchUp/Plugins/StairMaker/StairMaker.rb:54:in initialize' C:/Users/Silent_ip/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2017/SketchUp/Plugins/StairMaker/StairMaker.rb:9:in new' C:/Users/Silent_ip/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2017/SketchUp/Plugins/StairMaker/StairMaker.rb:9:in block in <top (required)>' SketchUp:1:in call' Code

@driven said: TT + Dan, I can't seem to get that to work on a mac. do I need to create a menu item as well, grey it out, and the button follows? Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined methodset_validation_proc' for #UI::Toolbar:0x113cb6ec>` I have a menu entry for the 'master' toolbar, but don't really want/need lots of submenu items. john Sorry, wrong link. http://www.sketchup.com/intl/en/developer/docs/ourdoc/command#set_validation_proc Use it on the Command object.

Please don't reuse references or confuse them with methods etc - coding is complicated enough as it is I suggest you prefix new groups with a single meaningful letter, and suffix their entities with 'ents' So 'sgroup' > 'sents' and 'rgroup' > 'rents' etc. Then any other reference to 'step' or 'rail' will pass without incident... And you can easily spot the relationship of s=step and r=rail For example, I always call my temporary group 'tgroup' and its entities 'tents'.

I actually tried it in Sketchup 2019.2 Nothing was happening at the beginning until I edit the SOURCE & TARGET "instance names" (not definition). It worked like a charm and It will make me save LOTS of time. You guys are champs! Tip: you can select all your source components in one go and enter their instance name in one time. Hope that helps anyone who got stuck:)

Updated to be SU2014 compatible.

Thanks a lot TIG !

Thanks Tig and Gaeius for the info.

Obviously there are some drawbacks to being super vigilant and not wanting your computer clogged up with unwanted cookies

You need to use Sketchup.load to load .rbs files. http://code.google.com/apis/sketchup/docs/ourdoc/sketchup.html#load

The API result is correct... even if two points are identical in their x/y/z they are different Point3d's. Either compare them as arrays to find it they ARE 'equivalent'... or use the 'set' functions...

@juantxo said: Something similar occurs if you close dialog in a callback: On the PC, this might work: my_dialog.add_action_callback("test") do |web_dialog,param| web_dialog.close end my_dialog.set_on_close { UI.messagebox('NOT DISPLAYED') } AFIAK, set_on_close is still bugged on the Mac
