Why are you asking again?
I already responded a week or so ago...

An object of what you mean is a Sketchup Drawingelement.

If the Drawingelement is a Face, Edge, ArcCurve or Curve, it will have a method to get all vertices, and for each vertex you can get the position (which is what you want):
positions = face.vertices.map{|v| v.position}

If the Drawingelement is a Group, ComponentInstance of Image, it is "a model" in the model any you have to loop over the contained entities:
group.parent.entities.find_all{|e| e.respond_to?(:vertices) }. map{|e| e.vertices.map{|v| v.position} }.flatten
or with
component.definition.entities

Just set the path as a string
path = "C:/Users/Usuario/then_any/valid_path/to a/Folder/MyLovelyPony.skp"
If you use / as the file separator the path can be inside '' or "".
But if it's \ then use '' ... OR escape the \ as \ inside ""...
Loading from a file-path or from a url are handled different as set out in the API docs...
Note you can use File methods to find the model's folder or a file's basename or filetype...
model_path=File.dirname(model.path) model_name=File.basename(model.path, ".*") model_ext=File.extname(model.path)
You can also make new file-paths using
output=File.join(model_path, "MyOutputFile.txt")
For example this would make a txt file with the model, into which you could write some data...

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.
