entities.add_group(old_entity)

Plugin added below under this link.

Does exist a ruby script for kill the internal surfaces but not the edges of these surfaces (after a Pushpull + Ctrl for example)?

Why? Because when you export a Su file in OBJ to Zbrush for example, these intenal faces were not erased and make some disturb!

Resolved see here Thx Wikii & Matt666

remove_inner_faces.zip

I have just finished one.
Will be released in few days

Great,that is a very useful information!

can you give some clue?

My question is just the title.

That's a really great work!

I wrote script below to simulate whaat's.It works,but not perfect

Can "Paste in place" be used by Sketchup.send_action method?

Hi all!
Can I use open-uri or net/http to download a file from web in SU?

I also want a script to export dwg file with select entities.

http://www4.zzu.edu.cn/arch/sutool/shadow/test.htm
Maybe very slow to show.

I write one today. Try it,jim.

creat360view.rb

why not SciTE + SU bridge from TBD?

Whaat,you are genius!!!

Hi all,I want to get the Group object that contains the selected objects.
such as:

First I select a Group
    Sketchup.active_model.selection[0]    =>  <Sketchup;;Group;0xb79eb20>
I open it ,and ,select an edge
    Sketchup.active_model.selection[0]    =>  <Sketchup;;Edge;0xb79ea48>
Now I want to get the Group object contains '<Sketchup;;Edge;0xb79ea48>' ,that should be '<Sketchup;;Group;0xb79eb20>'.Using 'parent' methods，it can't work at all.
    Sketchup.active_model.selection[0].parent =>  #<Sketchup;;ComponentDefinition;0xb79e958>

Please help me.

ok, Wikii, thx!
got a screenshot of the exact place/way I would do this? (I'm no programmer! )

Edit CSS file.
Replace 'width:89px;' with 'width:150px;',4 places
Replace 'width:110px;' with 'width:170px;',2 places

Refresh SUTool window.

@fletch said:

2nd - Wikki, when a name is very long for the ruby script description, the box cuts off the name of the file... so you almost can't tell what it is in some cases. If possible, do you think in the future you will be able to make it so that when you re-size the window it will also re-size the rectangles to show the whole ruby name?

PLZ,edit SuTool.css file to resize the width of cmd button that been showed in SUT window.
