Is it possible to enable the context menu only for specific entities? It would be nice if my custom menus showed up only for the entities I target rather than all of them.
I see that the built-in SU context menus are per entity type, so I want to know if the same thing is possible using the Ruby API.
Never mind, this is so easy to implement. I only have to call context_menu.add_item
if certain conditions are met.

Also, a UI::Command
that can activate a tool, can also have a validation proc that only allows the command to fire (ie, activate the tool or whatever) when certain conditions are met.
Likewise a Tool
itself can have it’s own custom context menu. See: Sketchup::Tool#getMenu()
This latter pattern is more powerful than the “plain Jane” UI::add_context_menu_handler()
as a tool’s context menu also can (since v2015) accept flags
, x
, y
, and view
parameters.
