I have been creating plugins. The console window supplies error messages and troubleshooting info to help. Somehow, the window has disappeared. It is not clear how to restore it. The SU help bot has never heard of a ‘console window’. It suggested that I go to Windows/Ruby Console. There is no such thing. Any suggestions?
The Ruby Console is opened from Extensions → Developer → Ruby Console.
Thank you 3Dx. That did it. Once again, I see that AI will not be taking over from humans anytime soon.
AI is a ‘thing’ unto itself. Maybe take a look at these examples to get started:
SketchUp/sketchup-ruby-api-tutorials: SketchUp Ruby API Tutorials and Examples
And the MultiFile template:
That’s an example of AI not knowing what version of SketchUp you are running. The Ruby Console used to be on the Windows menu but was moved recently. Not at my computer, and I don’t remember which version made the change.
Please be aware that in Ruby 3.x we can no longer share @@vars like I showed in that template.
Gemini knows…
