I have the next .xml file, how could I get the coplanar points or the cloud points for the complete structure?, thanks in advance.

Is there a method in ruby or a way to get all the points (x,y,z) from a 3D sketchup Object?

Thanks in advance.

Is there a method in ruby or a way to get all the 3D points (x,y,z) from a sketchup Object?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I am implementing a ruby code that loads me a sketchup file(skp), this is my code:

point = Geom::Point3d.new 10,20,30
transform = Geom::Transformation.new point
model = Sketchup.active_model
entities = model.active_entities
path = Sketchup.find_support_file "chimney.skp",
"C:/Users/usuario/Downloads/pluginsketchUp/Sketchup/org.dworks.suide_1.0.0/exe/"
definitions = model.definitions
componentdefinition = definitions.load path
instance = entities.add_instance componentdefinition, transform
if (instance)
UI.messagebox instance
else
UI.messagebox "Failure"
end

How could I do, the file loads of a different path to "Components/Components Sampler/" or maybe of a specific url?.

Thanks in advance.

vhiguita, Are you still working on this problem or do you have a solution? I was interested in your problem and thought I would give it a try. Using the data from you post, I created a "html" file and created a plugin to read it and place the data. My html file contains the faces, lines and points but the lines and points are really the only data you need. I assummed the units were feet. It would help if I had an actual file to work with so post one if possible.

Hi, I found the solution, there are many ways to get this, for example with PHP you could load all the html to a string, you could apply regular expressions to get the values (<div>,<span>, etc) from the tags review curl library.

Hi,

In this instruction Sketchup.active_model.active_entities.add_face(p1,p2,p3).
Must the p1, p2, p3 points be different (not repeated)?
With respect to the orientation, it´s a xml file with some data of a house roof I need to draw with SketchUP ruby API, what could it mean?.

Thanks.

If you have three points they will always be 'coplanar'.
Let's call them p1/p2/p3;
To add the face use:
Sketchup.active_model.active_entities.add_face(p1,p2,p3)
You can use more points BUT you must be sure that they are coplanar.

What do you mean by the orientation of 71 ?

PS: Don't double post - be patient - I moved the post here too...

Hi,

I have a question, how could I draw a coplanar polygon with the next
3d points?
[27.096141893, 67.088581299, 10.979694884][13.548070946,
62.423606365, 20.5321749][27.258347158, 22.606073055, 20.5321749]
[40.806418104, 27.271047989, 10.979694884] that are the points of
a polygon of a roof.

I have the next polygon with the points [27.096141893,67.088581299,10.979694884]
[13.548070946,62.423606365,20.532174900]
[13.548070946,62.423606365,20.532174900]
[27.258347158,22.606073055,20.532174900]
[27.258347158,22.606073055,20.532174900]
[40.806418104,27.271047989,10.979694884]
[40.806418104,27.271047989,10.979694884]
[27.096141893,67.088581299,10.979694884] and orientation of
71.0 how could I draw the polygon according the orientation.

Thank you very much.
