You're making a big assumption here - we have no insight to your code...

As for making a wall from selected set of lines, I'd create it using Face.followme method. http://code.google.com/apis/sketchup/docs/ourdoc/face.html#followme

Create the profile of the wall at one of the end points of your set of edges and then face.followme.

In the attachment is the code.

Wall.txt

I have a simple written code to create a wall from a selected line, now I would like it to work for multiple lines. what is the fastest way to do it without to much changing the code. Can I do it with Loop and how??

Can someone explain to me what this lines are for? I know they are for creating faces and offset lines but witch ones do what?

width, height = results

pts = tl[0].vertices
i = 0
pts2 = []

pts.each do |pt|
pts2[i] = pt.position + [0 , 0 , results[1]]
i = i +1
end
line_copy = entities.add_line pts2

pts_copy = line_copy.vertices

i = 0
j = 0

new_face = entities.add_face(pts[0], pts_copy[0], pts_copy[1], pts[1])
new_face.pushpull (width / 2)

model.commit_operation
end

if( not file_loaded?("zid.rb") )

UI.menu("Plugins").add_item("Zid") { zid }

end

file_loaded("zid.rb")

Choose the Select tool.
Pick on an object [like a line].
Hold down Ctrl and pick on another object to add it to the selection.
Holding down Shift toggles an object in/out of the selection.
Holding down Shift+Ctrl and picking an object removes it from the selection.

With a face one click to pick face, two clicks to pick face and its edges and three clicks to select it AND all other edges and faces connected to it...

I was talking about the plugin

http://rhin.crai.archi.fr/rld/plugin_details.php?id=250 is the link to midline2wall.rb which looks to be exactly what you want.

Hmmm yes but how can I select multiple lines?

Does the code create a new line next to a existing line?

model = Sketchup.active_model
entities = model.active_entities
pts = []
pts[0] = [0, 0, 0]
pts[1] = [x, 0, 0]
pts[2] = [x, y, 0]
pts[3] = [0, y, 0]

Add the face to the entities in the model

face = entities.add_face pts

I just happen to know that the second and third entities in the

entities objects are edges.

entity1 = entities[1]
entity2 = entities[2]
edges = entity1.all_connected
if (edges)
UI.messagebox edges.to_s
else
UI.messagebox "Failure"
end

I got this far

prompts = ["x:", "y:", "z:"]
defaults = [10, 20, 100]
input = UI.inputbox prompts, defaults, "Input data"
x = input[0]
y = imput[1]
z = imput[2]
model = Sketchup.active_model
ent = model.entities
sel = model.selection

model = Sketchup.active_model
entities = model.active_entities
pts = []
pts[0] = [0, 0, 0]
pts[1] = [x, 0, 0]
pts[2] = [x, y, 0]
pts[3] = [0, y, 0]

Add the face to the entities in the model

face = entities.add_face pts

I just happen to know that the second and third entities in the

entities objects are edges.

entity1 = entities[1]
entity2 = entities[2]
edges = entity1.all_connected
if (edges)
UI.messagebox edges.to_s
else
UI.messagebox "Failure"
end

faces = []

sel.each do |e|
	if e.is_a? Sketchup::Face
         faces.push e
	end
end   

 Sketchup.active_model.start_operation "Wall"     
faces.each do |e|
     ent.add_group e
     e.pushpull (z)
 end
		Sketchup.active_model.commit_operation	

end

if( not file_loaded?('Wall.rb') )
UI.menu('Plugins').add_item('wall') {wall }
end

file_loaded 'Wall.rb'

I think I have to create a new entety for the faces theat are created to use it in push/pull ?

for something like this it's probably quicker and easier to draw [rectangle tool] the profile, select all lines and click followMe tool.

there are lot of rubies that deal with more complex versions of this, but the standard tools can do quite a bit...
[attachment=0:2kbtp9i4]<!-- ia0 -->use_followMe.png<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:2kbtp9i4]

This is somethin for my school project so to draw it this way it isn't an option

So write down the plan for your code...
. check the model.selection contains some connected Edges (>>>path)
. use a UI.inputbox() dialog to get the height
. add a rectangle_face at start.position (p0) of first edge in path, calculating the other three points as p0=p1.clone; p1.z=p1.z+height etc using rectangle_face=entities.add_face(p0,p1,p2,p3)
. use rectangle_face.followme(path) to extrude the new face along the path.
. done

Hmmm what if I useEdge.all_connectedthen the code from the the plugin push/pull face I have?

Maybe a little concept image, because this plug is maybe yet existing

There is an Example in the attachment of what I would like to do with it.
