List of changes

Submitted by Admin on Tue, 2008-07-08 01:29

I'll fill this out in the coming days as the update goes live

- Embedded Media Field for adding links to video tutorials / examples. There are many instances where showing usage via a youtube clip would really help out. There is now a field when submitting scripts, plugins & tutorials that lets you paste in the link to a video (any type) and it'll create a player window for that video.

Selector

Submitted by jim on Sun, 2007-04-15 15:48

Opens a dialog to select entities by type (edge, face, group, or instance.) This is a very basic tool (toy?), but could be expanded to include multiple criteria (such as selecting by Layer or material.)

runs completely inside SketchUp from start to finish. It uses SketchUp
features such as textures, background colors, groups and shadows to

Ruby Newbie

Submitted by dvmorris on Fri, 2007-08-03 22:09

Hello everyone,

I am brand new to Ruby Scripting in SketchUp and Ruby scripting in general, but I managed to throw together a script after an hour or so of searching through the mysterious Sketchup Ruby Scripting API documentation. Anyways, all the things I really want the API to do don't seem to be possible.
