create your own server in javascript with PostgreSQL database, GIT versioned - good for testing quick server code

TED: Not Found

MIT researcher Deb Roy wanted to understand how his infant son learned language -- so he wired up his house with videocameras to catch every moment (with exceptions) of his son's life, then parsed 90,000 hours of home video to watch "gaaaa" slowly turn into "water."

the house 3D view from camera feed is wow. I will think about privacy later

I use Sketchup Bridge and have a shortcut key in my editor that loads the code into Sketchup so I can test ideas quickly. There is a tutorial there on how to setup it with RDE (Ruby editor).

I have a version that is cross platform (SU Bridge is Windows only now), but it needs some work to make it releasable

no. not possible in current version.

let's wait for the WebGL version

yeah. that removes the credits. but the idea is to add them (still the same error as when trying to modify them)

so it is not possible in current version to add credits programmatically

Dan: batch editing lots of files

thanks Thomas.

model.set_attribute("GSU_ContributorsInfo", "NicknamesKey", "TBD")

Error; #<RuntimeError; (eval);0;in `set_attribute'; Not allowed to create Contributors attribute.>

so no set functions ?

anyone found the API for author/credits (Model Info Credits tab) get/set ?

i am sick of snow already.

OT: speaking of semicolons - they are not needed unless a very specific case - see http://mislav.uniqpath.com/2010/05/semicolons/

if you have MagicMouse you can use BetterTouchTool and have a middle button for orbit setup

yup, same previous model info pane on OSX as well

speaking of .find_faces - how do you create the inner face (via ruby or normal SU tools) ?

no inner face.skp

@unknownuser said:

Does "Model Info" > "Fix Problems" correct this?

nope. no error detected.

yeah, the same damn DWG import. a quick workaround to create the faces is to erase all faces with .area==0 before .find_faces

anyone encountered a 0.0 area face on a rectangle ? and each edge has the same face attached twice and find_faces fails on the edges

> Sketchup.active_model.entities.map{|x| x.faces if x.is_a? Sketchup;;Edge}
[nil, [#<Sketchup;;Face;0x1a563988>, #<Sketchup;;Face;0x1a563988>], [#<Sketchup;;Face;0x1a563988>, #<Sketchup;;Face;0x1a563988>], [#<Sketchup;;Face;0x1a563988>, #<Sketchup;;Face;0x1a563988>], [#<Sketchup;;Face;0x1a563988>, #<Sketchup;;Face;0x1a563988>]]

true, I am not involved in Podium anymore. and Product No 2 is secret for now - still I left some traces on the net for the stalking purposes

now back on making the software worth more than $34.99

was Podium, now is custom work and I hope soon Product No 2

besides Podium and old scripts on Smustard I do custom ruby plugins on demand and code review/debugging
