It's a bug. I reported it to Google for you. Todd

you need win32ole.so for that example. ... but you still need another file to access process identification (win32ole or win32api)

@unknownuser said: If you go to Help -> Ruby Help inside SketchUp, that should take you to the V7 ruby doc. You could perhaps figure out how to code up a google search to scan the online help doc for "watermark". I'm sure there's a way to do it. Believe me I have summoned arcane google magicks to find information about managing watermarks in sketchup ruby. But I have failed in my quest. Plus, as Chris Fulmer pointed out, there is no "Help->Ruby Help" menu in my sketchup (version 7.0.8657) Perhaps I could hijack this otherwise stale thread to ask for more general advice about what I would like to do: I am interested in getting access to the images used as backgrounds in the scene tabs that are created when using the "match photo" feature. Are these images even watermarks? I foolishly imagine that I will be able to create additional photo matching features if I can gain access to these images. One thing I would like to do is use Overlay watermarks in addition to Background watermarks for photo matching. Including automatically varying transparency/visibility during the photo matching work flow. Are there already existing "match photo on steroids" tools available?

Thanks, Rick, but that's not really what I am looking for. I'm not trying to test whether the user is editing their photomatch (i.e. adjusting vanishing points, origin, etc.). I just want to know if the user has selected a photomatch scene tab and has not changed the camera view (photo background is still in view). The active tool could be anything (select, linetool, pushpull, etc, I don't care). In other words, I just want to test if the photomatch background is still in view. There doesn't seem to be anything in the RenderingOptions, Page, or Camera classes to help me here.

Thanks a'lot! ilay [spire7k]
