Yes. But only if you are using SketchUp version 2022.0 or newer.#save_as method.

There is an unclear answer as well, but since you are refused, I can not tell you what is a workaround for older SketchUp versions … you have to search in a forum yourself.

Hi Jim, i needed a solution to a older version i dont use.
With the directions of TIG i find a fine solution.
This way:
# Method: convert_component_definitions()
def self.convert_component_definitions(folder, new_version=false)
new_version = new_version || Sketchup::Model::VERSION_2016
# Store active model
active_file = Sketchup.active_model.path
# Loop trough all the files in folder and convert the .skp files
Dir.foreach(folder) {|file|
next if [".", ".."].include?(file)
n…
You can check other post on that topic too.
saveFile = d.save_as (tempPath, Sketchup::Model::VERSION_8) Help me see what’s wrong here
saveFile = d.save_as (tempPath, Sketchup::Model::VERSION_8)

There is a space after save_as which is causing the syntax error.
saveFile = d.save_as (tempPath, Sketchup::Model::VERSION_8)
