I am wondering if there is a way to handle the “Include in animation” flag from the API. I can’t see any related method in Sketchup::Page, so I guess it is not possible at all. Any hint? It would be useful to define whether a scene is included in a rendering cycle or not.

It’s not straight-forward. Use the Page#label method and check if it contains parenthesis.

That is a good solution to know whether a Scene is included in animation, but only if I manually uncheck the box in SketchUp. My goal is generating a Scene programatically that is not included in animaton, with the box unchecked by default.

I understand - and I don’t think there is a way to set “include in animation” for a Scene from the Ruby API. Maybe someone else knows a solution?

EDIT: Since thread was started, API methods were added for v2018 and higher. ( See post 7 .)

OK, I’ll try to find another solution. Good to know anyway. Thank you guys for your help.

Good news! I saw it last week. It will help me implement some ideas I have in mind. Can’t wait to update to 2018.

DONE !

FYI,… Finally, … the API has been updated for version 2018 and higher …

… both a query method and a setter method have been added to the Sketchup::Page class.
