Hello everyone, how to create faces for these line segments using ruby?

Check the find_faces method in the SketchUp Ruby API Documentation…

You will also need to collect the edges from the current active context, then iterate them and call find_faces on each edge.

Then reverse the face if it’s on the ground plane and facing downward.

def make_faces
  model = Sketchup.active_model
  ents = model.active_entities
  faces_before = ents.grep(Sketchup::Face)
  #
  model.start_operation("Find Faces",true)
    #
    edges = ents.grep(Sketchup::Edge)
    edges.each(&:find_faces)
    new_faces = ents.grep(Sketchup::Face) - faces_before
    #
    if new_faces.empty?
      model.abort_operation 
      return
    end
    #
    new_faces.each do |face|
      vec = face.normal
      next unless vec.parallel?(Z_AXIS) && !vec.samedirection?(Z_AXIS)
      # Reverse if the face is on the ground plane:
      face.reverse! if face.vertices.map(&:position).all? {|pt| pt.z == 0 }
    end
    #
  model.commit_operation
  #
end ### make_faces()
