How to "align view" in ruby

@Arbiorix, Some snippets that work for the top level model entities ONLY:

def viewable?(obj)
  view = @mod.active_view
  obj.vertices.all? {|v|
    coords = view.screen_coords(v.position)
    coords.x.round >= 0 && coords.y.round >= 0
  }
end

def find_biggest_face(faces)
  faces.max_by {|f| f.area }
end

def find_viewable_faces(ents)
  allfaces = ents.grep(Sketchup::Face)
  allfaces.select {|face| viewable?(face) }
end

def task()
  @mod = Sketchup::active_model
  ents = @mod.entities
  faces  = find_viewable_faces(ents)
  biggie = find_biggest_face(faces)
end

Sketchup.active_model.selection.add(task)

It is much more complex if you need to test faces nested inside group or components.
