Hi everyone,
I’m developing FGId Points Cloud, a point cloud viewer for SketchUp. I can already pick 3D points from the cloud in my own Ruby tools. I’d like users to snap directly to those points with SketchUp’s built-in Line, Rectangle, and Tape Measure tools, as they can with Scan Essentials.
I’ve looked at Sketchup::InputPoint, which lets a Ruby tool use SketchUp’s inference engine. Is there a supported way to go in the other direction and register a point under the cursor as a snap candidate for the active native tool?
Is there a hook for this in the public Ruby API or C SDK, or is it an internal integration specific to Scan Essentials? Any pointers to documentation or sample code would be appreciated.
Thanks!
