I am pretty good at working with sketch up.
I am trying to get into dynamic components and ruby programming
I am a wood worker,
I have made a dynamic component which will create pieces of lumber that has all the parameters I need.
I would like to do the following via ruby
Add a button to the toolbar on Sketchup 2017
Upon Button Press
Take a (Specific Dynamic Components) and put it at some Point (origin or other) in the Model
Show Component Options Window for the just placed object
How can I get more info on how to accomplish this.
It seems like this should not be that hard.
Thanks in advance for you help
