Make ruby wait until component is placed by user

I would really like place_component to not switch automaticaly to the Move tool. I often found that annoying while working and it seems to be causing trouble in coding also. Wonder if this what is preventing a normal resume of scripts from the GUI, after the component is put.

The problem is that #place_component also closes any open operation and creates a new operation.

It is not likely that this method will change as we discussed in the issue tracker. Rather a new method would need to be implemented. See:

• Model#load_and_place_component · Issue #6 · SketchUp/api-issue-tracker · GitHub

• place_component callback · Issue #279 · SketchUp/api-issue-tracker · GitHub

possible custom “place component” (concept, do not use at it is!)

I also posted an example DragTool quite some time (4 years) ago …
