Developers Ruby API

Hi all,
I am new in ruby for sketchup, I do it as hobby…
I am trying to understand how to use location, and shape distribution with ruby.
And to do this, my test is to place one rectangular shape between two lines and paste it until the end of sinusoidal lines with regular intervals.

Can you help me about this? Just to know which function I must to use, how to select my rectangular shape, and give it the destinations’ lines to be paste and distribute?

Thanks by advance !

PPS : If you want pictures, I can upload it…
