Hi, I downloaded the offset.rb from Author:: Rick Wilson /Organization:: Smustard/ Name:: offset.rb/Version:: 2.201
SU Version:: 4.0/ Date:: 2010-10-15.
I required the offset.rb in my ruby console in sketchup.
But when I call the method offset. It always shows up Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method `offset’ for nil:NilClass>
Here is a sample of what is in the offset.rb
class Sketchup::Curve
def offset(dist)
return nil if self.count_edges<2…
Is there something wrong with the way I require it?
Thank you!
This script modifies SketchUp API classes and should NOT be used, until Rick fixes it so it does not do this.
We cannot tell what the error text is because the forum is swallowing the message.
Please wrap error text in
```text
and
lines.
----------
Please wrap Ruby code in:
```text
```ruby
and
lines.
Thank you for your reply!
The error message is undefined method `offset’ for nil.
Thank you!
You will have to supply more code, so we can understand why this is happening.
The message indicates that the receiver object you are calling the offset method upon, is pointing at nil.
Thank you for your reply!
