Chris: i hope your code is called only by the user and not in an Observer or right click menus, because it will stop Ruby thread and if you call this several times it will block a lot of things.

if you post your code we can take a look and provide more help. I did something similar with my http://plugins.ro/su2web/ project some time ago before WebExporter

some starting points - http://www.vision.ee.ethz.ch/~pmueller/wiki/CityEngine/Documents

plot-paris: it is a sticky post and it shows in all subforum. thanks SCF.

Can't wait to see the first submission

thomthom: attach the model and the code for testing. a face that have a different Z should have a different plane equation

to be able to run on Mac I had to create DEFPARAM_Dir under plugins dir (due permissions restriction the mkdir command in Lib6Core_30 failed)

nice work Fredo

as more and more people are interested in it, think that I will allocate more time for this project and have something available this year (other projects have higher priority for now)

nope, everything was done inside Sketchup without any extras beside my plugin. the videos are running inside Sketchup and you can continue modeling (as I shown with the table) or navigate normally through your model.

no, as DC are made by using attributes, webdialogs and ruby scripts

Is there any C/C++ API existing or in the works which would allow more direct control of sketchup's API ?

http://code.google.com/apis/sketchup/docs/downloadsdksubmit.html

it would be nice to have a generic exporter and be able to add different render engines output formats (Podium, VRay, Kerkythea, Indigo, ...) - this way everyone will benefit - the users will be able to test different render engines with no or minor tweaking and us, the developers, can concentrate on other things (and not reinventing the wheel, againi and again).

scott: you said that you removed Podium

I think there are some path problems - from your screenshot it looks like pb_load.rb tries to load timetrack.rb (one of my scripts) which it shouldn't be happening as this should be loaded by Sketchup.

if you uninstall Podium it gets back to normal ?

I had also the SDK downloaded but didn't do more than some test builds (you need a code signature to be able to run the build on the actual device or use a little trick)

some of the apps that I use daily (jb = jailbreak needed):

• Byline - great in the morning to read the news from Google Reader,
• FStream - internet radio in the car
• AirSharing - reading PDF,PPT,Ruby,KeyNote files and transfer files via web interface
• SBSettings (jb) - activate/deactivate 3G/Location/WiFi for more battery power
• Cycorder (jb) - video recording with sound
• Terminal (jb) - command line power

it is a nice device and best one for web/email on the move or when wife is shopping

ha ha - I wish. he is more like the power button manager - shutdown when I am in the middle of something

still here, working on my secret project and Podium. and as Rick said - babysitting (as I work from home I am always babysitting )

what about Bridge ?

yeah, I did it a year ago as proof of concept. think I will release the code to the public as I don't have time to create a proper product out of it.

anyone interested in continuing my work ?

cool stuff. now we can make a disco party

see SKSocket - http://groups.google.com/group/sketchupruby/msg/8ec4074cee909de2

Sketchup Macro Editor idea was to have a simple interface to create ruby scripts with basicaly no knowledge of Ruby. it can be extended to an interface to create webapps that add interactivity to model presentation.

what will be the ideal web3d application for SU models for you ?
