Hi.,
I am practicing a ruby file from Automatic Sketchup book with the following code, creation of component definition and saving.
# Create the component definition
list = Sketchup.active_model.definitions
comp_def = list.add "Cube"
comp_def.description = "This is a simple cube-shaped component."
# Add entities to the component definition
ents = comp_def.entities
face = ents.add_face [0,0,0], [1,0,0], [1,1,0], [0,1,0]
face.reverse!
face.pushpull 1
# Save the component definition
save_path = Sketchup.find_support_file "Components", ""
comp_def.save_as(save_path + "/cube.skp")
puts "The definition was saved to: " + comp_def.path
help_file = Sketchup.find_support_file("help.html", "Plugins/") ,
Where the syntax for the find_support_file method → folder name and an empty string & from the Ruby api, the filename followed by the folder name.
Which one is correct to follow.?
Also when try to follow the API, the following error i am getting for the code, which i try to execute.
mod = Sketchup.active_model # Open model
ent = mod.entities # All entities in model
sel = mod.selection # Current selection
#declaration of variables
height = 720.mm #Height of the cabinet
depth = 550.mm #depth of the cabinet
wd = 600.mm #width of the cabinet
thickness =18.mm #thickness of the panel
bpt= 8.mm #thickness of the back panel
tpw = 100.mm # top panel width
bpo = 8.mm # back panel offset
bppo = 20.mm # back panel position offset
sc = 2.mm # shelf clearance
so = 20.mm # Shelf offset
shch = 2.5.mm # Shutter Clearance height
shcv = 1.mm #Shutter clearance width
lht = 100.mm # leg height.
#Create the component definition
list = Sketchup.active_model.definitions
comp_def = list.add "LH Panel"
comp_def.description = "this the left hand side panel"
pt = [0,1,2,3]
# referencing early point for drawing. relative coordiante ssytem
pt[0] = Geom::Point3d.new(0,0,0)
pt[1] = pt[0] + [thickness,0,0]
pt[2] = pt[1] + [0,depth,0]
pt[3] = pt[2] + [-thickness,0,0]
#creation of face - LH Side panel
#Add enitities to the component definition
ents = comp_def.entities
face = ents.add_face(pt)
face.reverse!
face.pushpull(height, true)
#save the component definish
save_path = Sketchup.find_support_file ("/LH.skp", "Components")
comp_def.save_as(save_path)
where i am making the mistake or i am understanding wrongly.?
