But if you make a dotted line with real edges you end up with the inference engine snapping to each of the tiny edge segments. Can quickly become noisy.

Let's get a real (probably Irish) fighter involved. What me worry?[image: DZal_Screenshot2011-11-23at8.47.42PM.png] Just one missing tooth in this photo.

Wasn't there a 1001 shadow tools plugin that crated vector objects for shadows?. If you do go the hybrid approach that gives raster shadows, could probably get good vector object using Adobe Illustrator.

That's not Trondheim! Everytime I look at it on the map all I see is vast expanses of 10 meter deep snow with fog and clouds overhead...

Yes, I understand. I've seen your praising for it. That made me want to try to learn it in addition to standard JS. Can say.. Haven't been using Jquery for long(or JS for that matter), but only the selectors themself is worth the use of it.

I have modified the plugin so that, if the the selected entity is an arc, the point is placed in its true position instead of on the segment as before. Should this be an option? Add points to curve

Yea, erasing the zero length edge would make a gap between adjacent edges. ...I think... might need to verify that again.

@thomthom said: So it appears what happens is not that f.to_a is called, but instead Array.new( f ) - and Array.new uses .to_ary . Actually (if you use the CHM Ruby refdoc,) the source shows that the #| method explicitly calls: %(#0000BF)[arg2 = to_ary(arg2);] ie, it makes a copy of the second arg to use locally (within its body.)

@adamb said: Ruby has "green threads" which is simply the Ruby interpreter locally slicing & dicing its own execution thread. But since the Ruby intepreter itself is being scheduled from the runloop of SketchUp, its of little use for asyncronous work. In other words, if I have a progress bar inside a C extension, it will suffer same 'halt' as whole SU user interface, when Ruby is doing heavy lifting, right? Does it mean that I have to start an independent thread with the progress bar to have it updated in same conditions?

@adamb said: Nice one driven. Just remember this is not supported by SU6, so make sure you predicate it with version_number. Adam Or - as I prefer - by using .respond_to? to instead check if the feature exists. No mucking about with version numbers.

@unknownuser said: (http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f) of this topic":25oe0j3o] Did you dispose of all Locals, Constants, instance vars, and perhaps maybe even Procs that are within your subclass? That said... you should be able to have proc refs, if they are instance @refs because they are likely to have refs inside them that ref instance objects. If the class is a singleton (most WebDialogs are,) just limit the number of instances to 1, in the wrapping namespace, the same way you would for a tool instance.

Doubledone!

@thomthom said: @dan rathbun said: But what's the big deal? It's better than modifying the base API class, isn't it? If my script iterate the entities in a model and extends them with my mixin module - then I wouldn't want to affect other scripts. It'd be the same as modifying the base class. We'll yes.. if you end up defining a new singleton method for EVERY Sketchup::Entity subclass instance in the model(s), then it would be comparable to extending all the classes themselves. Also.. a singleton method, is in effect, a single instance override of any inherited method of the same name, so (referring to my previous example,) if Google later ended up adding a :has_dictionary? method to the API Sketchup::Entity superclass, my example would be overriding that method, on an individual instance basis.

How does the Logger from the standard library work on Mac?
