**I found with some tests that it is not possible to add dynamic attributes to neutral components.

The component must have at least an existing attribute for it to be possible to add attributes in ruby.

If not, we have this error message:

@unknownuser said:

Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method []' for nil:NilClass> <main>:1:in block in <main>'
<main>:in each' <main>:in grep'
<main>:in <main>' -e:1:in eval'
nil

The goal is certainly to protect the creation of dynamic components, which is only available in Pro version of SketchUp?**

Thank you TIG!
This solution will give me even more possibilities in the future with the dynamic components.

**

Wonderful! Your example works TIG, for instances with IKEA definitions:**

m=Sketchup.active_model;m.start_operation("unDC");m.definitions.each{|d|next unless d.name=~/IKEA/; d.attribute_dictionaries.delete("dynamic_attributes") if d.attribute_dictionaries and d.attribute_dictionaries["dynamic_attributes"];d.instances.each{|i|i.attribute_dictionaries.delete("dynamic_attributes") if i.attribute_dictionaries and i.attribute_dictionaries["dynamic_attributes"]}};m.commit_operation

Is it possible to purge dynamic attributes of nested components in instances with IKEA definitions?

Thank you

I get the following error message with your TIG example:

@unknownuser said:

Error: #<ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (1 for 0)>
<main>:2:in attribute_dictionaries' <main>:2:in block in <main>'

**Hello,

The code below redraws the instance 0 named with the definition "BOX".

model = Sketchup.active_model  
model_definition = model.definitions
model_def = model_definition['BOX']
$dc_observers.get_latest_class.redraw_with_undo(model_def.instances[0])

How to redraw all the instances being selected without taking their definitions into account?

Thank you

Thank you Dan.
I will analyze all your information in detail.

**Sorry Dan, I mixed brushes between definitions and instances ...

It's wonderful TIG, your code meets 100% to my needs.

I want to be very careful with the selections or deletes, for this reason your example is perfect.

The code below removes all attributes of all dynamic components present in a SketchUp file.

m=Sketchup.active_model;m.start_operation("unDC");m.definitions.each{|d|d.attribute_dictionaries.delete("dynamic_attributes") if d.attribute_dictionaries and d.attribute_dictionaries["dynamic_attributes"];d.instances.each{|i|i.attribute_dictionaries.delete("dynamic_attributes") if i.attribute_dictionaries and i.attribute_dictionaries["dynamic_attributes"]}};m.commit_operation

How to adapt this code so that it only deletes the dynamic attributes of all nested entities in the named definitions / IKEA / ?

Thank you**

**I'm not sure I understand all of your logical reasoning Dan.

I want to delete hidden definitions and not instances.

For example:

Dynamic Cabinet consists of a Drawer and a Door.

The Drawer is hidden by its "Hidden" attribute.

The Gate is visible by its "Hidden" attribute.

Both have instances "Handles" in "sub-component".

The method must delete the "Drawer" definition because it is hidden.

Thus, only the "Handles" instance of the drawer will be deleted without affecting the same instances of the door.

Cordially

**Thank you for all these Dan examples.

= ~ / # {"name"} /

It's perfect because it works for all instances.

Now, I only want to select the instances present in a selection of components.

The problem is that the code below, selects all the instances in the SketchUp file.

m=Sketchup.active_model;s=m.selection;m.definitions.each{|d|s.add d.instances if d.name=~/#{"Handle"}/}

Thank you**

**Is it possible to purge hidden components inside components with the IKEA definition only?

This will avoid affecting all the file to target only the 3D models proposed by Click-Kitchen 2.

For example:

Method A selects all components with the IKEA definition.

# Method A
m=Sketchup.active_model;s=m.selection;m.definitions.each{|d|s.add d.instances if d.name=~/#{"IKEA"}/}

Method B searches for hidden components inside the selection and deletes them.

To write Method B, I need your help.

Thank you

**Hello everybody,

With the code below, it is possible to select an instance in SketchUp by ca definition.

m=Sketchup.active_model;s=m.selection;m.definitions.each{|d|s.add d.instances if d.name=~/#{"Handle"}/}

Is it possible to select the instances "Handle # 1", "Handle # 2", "Handle # 3" etc. which are only in the furniture being selected?

If so how do I do it?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Thank you TIG and slbaumgartner

The TIG example works perfectly.

It's wonderful Pixero.

Well tried Pilou, but these are the methods and ruby class for SketchUp that interests me.

I am happy to find this good old API.

Thank you renderiza, this book looks very interesting!
Unfortunately it can not replace the old API or all the methods and classes were perfectly presented.

**Hello,

After some research, I found this sample code:

Sketchup.active_model.definitions.each {| d | d.entities.to_a.each {| e | e.erase! if e.hidden?}}

The problem with this example is that hidden lines are deleted.

I only want to remove he hidden components.

thank you in advance for your help

Bonjour rom13,

Je n'arrive pas à comprendre vos besoins, est-il possible de reformuler ou joindre une image plus explicite ?

Les composants dynamiques comme les composant normaux peuvent être constitués de plusieurs calques afin d'afficher ou masquer un élément d'un simple clic.

Il existe aussi l'attribut "Hidden" spécifique aux composants dynamiques qui permet de masquer ou afficher les "composants" et les "sous composant".

Valeur à 0 <= Composants dynamique visible.
Valeur > 0 = Composants dynamique masqué.

Voici un petit tuto à ce sujet:

Hello Pixero,

I want to try but I do not know the address of the old site.

Does anyone know it ?

Thank you TIG but I already know this site.

I prefer by far the old site for that documentation, are organization of methods and classes, and its tutorial.

It was much easier to understand for novices in ruby scripts.

It is a pity that it no longer exists!

@jim said:

David, basically the new site is under construction. The API documentation needs to be corrected first, and then the examples will grow.

I restart the subject to find out if the original API site is or will soon be available?

Thank you

David

Salut Silic!

Je sais pas si cette méthode va t'aider:

• Enregistre ton composant dans un dossier sur ton PC.

• Ouvre ton composant comme une scène SketchUp traditionnelle.

• Importe tous les sous composants que tu souhaite puis enregistre.

• Pour finir, ouvre une nouvelle scène SketchUp et importe ton composant.

A plus

David
