Overview

A SketchUp Model entity. This is an instance of a SketchUp Model that is inserted into a .layout file. You can change the render mode, line weight, and set the current scene for the SketchUp Model with this interface.

Examples:

bounds = Geom::Bounds2d.new(1, 1, 3, 3)
model = Layout::SketchUpModel.new("C:/Path/to/model.skp", bounds)
model.current_scene = 2
model.view = Layout::SketchUpModel::FRONT_VIEW
model.render_mode = Layout::SketchUpModel::VECTOR_RENDER
model.render if model.render_needed?

    if bounds is zero size

Version:

  • LayOut 2018

Instance Method Details

↑ #camera_modified? ⇒ Boolean

The #camera_modified? method returns whether the camera of the Layout::SketchUpModel has been modified.

Examples:

bounds = Geom::Bounds2d.new(1, 1, 3, 3)
model = Layout::SketchUpModel.new("C:/Path/to/model.skp", bounds)
modified = model.camera_modified?

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

Version:

  • LayOut 2020.1

↑ #clip_mask ⇒ Layout::Entity

The #clip_mask method returns the clip mask entity for the Layout::SketchUpModel, or nil if it does not have one. clip_mask can be a Rectangle, Ellipse, or Path.

Examples:

bounds = Geom::Bounds2d.new(1, 1, 3, 3)
model = Layout::SketchUpModel.new("C:/Path/to/model.skp", bounds)
clip_mask = model.clip_mask

Returns:

Version:

  • LayOut 2018

↑ #clip_mask=(clip_mask) ⇒ Object

Note:

clip_mask may be nil as of LayOut 2020.1.

The #clip_mask= method sets a clip mask for the Layout::SketchUpModel. clip_mask can be a Rectangle, Ellipse, or Path, or nil, and it must not currently exist in a Document, or Group.

Examples:

bounds = Geom::Bounds2d.new(1, 1, 3, 3)

Parameters:

Raises:

Version:

↑ #current_scene ⇒ Integer

The #current_scene method returns the index of the most recently selected scene of the Layout::SketchUpModel.

Examples:

bounds = Geom::Bounds2d.new(1, 1, 3, 3)
