Are there documented rules for creating/joining geometry via ruby script?

However, my main question isn’t really about getting around this specific issue, this was just an example to highlight the need for documentation explaining the rules. I’d like to know what the rules are when creating geometry, like what scenarios to avoid so I’m not getting the validity issues. I don’t want to be guessing at the rules and constantly refactoring my code when I run into another issue that I wasn’t aware of. Does such documentation exist?

Unfortunately, no.

The YARD documentation generator allows for these kind of tutorial files to be added. But only a few have been written so far.

The API dictionary of classes and methods are terse and not meant to be a teaching document. (Ie, it’s an API reference, not a programmer’s handbook.)

There is talk of working on the files repo. It’d be hosted on GitHub in the SketchUp Team’s repositories.

It came up recently in this thread …

• Cls typed in console == SKETCHUP_CONSOLE.clear

… which prompted this specific topic to be opened …

• Ruby API Docs - allow community docs?
