Edit the point_cloud script to remove the ./ from in front of the delauney.rb name.

Get more organized and read some of the books I bought in 2007.

Sounds like a case for a new requirement of the API to be able to handle a BLOB (binary large object). Perhaps a new flavor of an attribute. I'll forward your plea.

Todd

You can convert to hex, or use #pack('m') when storing and unpack('m') on the way back out.

You might could also Marshal the data.

Todd

ps Fred, if you are saving 3D points as attributes - what happens when a user moves the spline?

Here's my report. F12 is intercepted by the operating system, so don't plan on using that one. I simply pressed F6 instead twice (I ran the script twice - as I screwed it up the first time). Matter of fact, on the Mac, I would stay away from all the function keys completely.

Hey Fred. If you want this fast, do this:

Write a script that prompts for all the keys on the keyboard to be entered, and I'll run it and send you the output. Otherwise, you get to wait for me to write this script to produce the report.

Note the some keys, like PAGE DOWN, don't produce scan codes in SketchUp, so don't prompt for those. And, a MAc as CONTROL, ALT and COMMAND, whereas PC do't have COMMAND. (the COMMAND key on a mac is generally used like CONTROL on a PC, and the CONTROL key on a Mac isn't used that much.

Check out the cheat sheet (Reference Card) for keyboard shortcuts to compare how keys are interchanged, so you can conform to that interface methodology.

Todd

Several keys are already defined as constants. List all the constants belonging to the Object class like this:

Object.constants

(They should have been defined in the SketchUp module).

All the contants relating to the keyboard start with VK_.... (virtual key).

I have both platforms. I'll make a list.

On a Mac, what Quick Time codec do I need to watch this AVI? I tried DivX and that didn't work.

i've tested my macbook pro core 2 duo (4MB RAM, GeForce 8600M GT) using james's file.

You mean 4GB, right?

Todd

Mike, thanks for the info. I use my MacPro (2gb ram, 3ghz dual duos) with the 23" cimema display and I love it. There probably a memory upgrade lurking in my near future.

I bought a white MacBook (2.16ghz speed, 2gb ram), just this past June to take with me out of the house - with Bootcamp. SU works "ok" under both OS's. On the Mac side, I have to turn Fast Feedback off regardless. To see the selection box for a left-to-right or right-to-left drag select, I also have to turn off hardware acceleration. It's annoying. And, the screen is small, but it works. Havent used SU under the Windows boot enough to remember the settings - probably the same.

I'll most likely end up getting a 17" MacBook Pro. I'll deck that thing out with VM FusionWare so I can install Windows XP and one of the Linux distrubtions and run all three at once. Probably 4GB as well. Gotta save my quarters first. Thanks for the report!

Todd

I recently discovered a utility that will report everything you ever wanted to know about your processor and video graphics card. It's called "dxdiag" and is a Microsoft DirectX utility. To run it under Windows XP, click Start > Run and type in dxdiag and press RETURN. There will be several tabs you can choose from. Pretty handy information when shopping for a new graphics card, if you think you might need one.

Todd

Make 2 nice buttons and post them here. a 16X16 pixel and a 32X32 pixel. Someone will do it.
Todd

That specifically is a bug that's been reported already. (the dxf / false thingy)

Todd

It could be written. It would take a custom Ruby toolset to do it. It would require new Line, Arc, Freehand, Rectangle and Circle tools. The existing Scale and Offset tools could be used. The existing Rotate & Move could also be used, but there would no constraints for staying in 2D.

Not trivial, but doable. It would take a couple months to write and test.

Todd

And you ARE or ARE NOT doing a save_thumbnail?

Todd

If you have a Mac, get HandBrake. I've used it dozens of times to rip DVDs for iPods. Works great.

Todd

Yes, I did. They went from 2 bytes to 5 bytes long. It's part of Google's move to support Internationalizations. You'll also notice that os_language is also changed (and it might be wrong, too).

6.0.1099 on the PC and 6.0.1077 on the Mac.

Todd

Holy Cow!! What's wrong???? I don't think you've ever told us anything more than "it does not work".

We can't keep (well, I'm not going to keep) guessing at what you might have and might not have that you are not showing us or telling us!

There is HTML, javascript and ruby code that you are holding very close to yourself. Any of it might not be coded right.

Todd

Nevermind. Put the dialog.execute_script in a callback.

Are you sure you are building the filename properly?

"What" does not work?
