I’m using a script with a loop to refresh the thumbnails for the components library.
This is the code from the Ruby API.
componentdefinition = Sketchup.active_model.definitions[0]
componentdefinition.refresh_thumbnail
Even when I run the code above, the thumbnail doesn’t change from the selected component definition. Do you also experience this? Or is it my SketchUp installation.
The provided example on ComponentDefinition#refresh_thumbnail-instance_method which you are using, will refresh a thumbnail of the first ComponentDefinition of the DefinitionList.
If you want to refresh all you may need to use e.g.:
Sketchup.active_model.definitions.each(&:refresh_thumbnail)
That is true.
I use a simular loop as yours for all the component definitions.
The code I mentioned above is from the Ruby API.
My problem is that the .refresh_thumbnail method is not working.
Do you experience the same problem?
No, I don’t
Can you please explain how are you doing it, what you see (or not) and what do you expect to happen.
UI#refresh_inspectors-class_method
Tells SketchUp to refresh all inspectors such as the Component Browser and the Outliner. This is useful when you need to manually force a refresh after you’ve made a change to the document via Ruby. Generally, SketchUp will keep these in sync for you, but occasionally it does not, such as when model.start_operation has disabled UI updates.
