Overview

This class is abstract.

To implement this observer, create a Ruby class of this type, override the desired methods, and add an instance of the observer to the objects of interests.

Note:

The methods of this observer fire in such a way that making changes to the model while inside of them is dangerous. If you experience sudden crashes, it could be because of this observer. A potential workaround is to use a ToolsObserver to watch what the user is doing instead.

This observer interface is implemented to react to Entities collection events.

Examples:

# This is an example of an observer that watches the entities collection
# new added elements and writes a message on the console.
class MyEntitiesObserver < Sketchup::EntitiesObserver
  def onElementAdded(entities, entity)
    puts "onElementAdded: #{entity}"
  end
end

# Attach the observer
Sketchup.active_model.entities.add_observer(MyEntitiesObserver.new)
