Introduction

Methods

EdgeUse.edgeSketchUp 6.0+

The edge method is used to retrieve the edge for the edge use.

Returns:

edge

an Edge object used by this edge use

 depth = 100
 width = 100
 model = Sketchup.active_model
 entities = model.active_entities
 pts = []
 pts[0] = [0, 0, 0]
 pts[1] = [width, 0, 0]
 pts[2] = [width, depth, 0]
 pts[3] = [0, depth, 0]
 # Add the face to the entities in the model
 face = entities.add_face pts
 loop = face.outer_loop
 edgeuses = loop.edgeuses
 edgeuse = edgeuses[0]
 edge = edgeuse.edge
 if (edge)
   UI.messagebox edge
 else
   UI.messagebox "Failure"
 end

EdgeUse.end_vertex_normalSketchUp 6.0+

The end_vertex_normal method is used to retrieve the vertex normal for the end point of this edgeuse.

Returns:

vector3D

a vector3d object if successful.

 if (face)
   UI.messagebox face
 else
   UI.messagebox "Failure"
 end

 # Add the face to the entities in the model
 face = entities.add_face pts
 loop = face.outer_loop
 edgeuses = loop.edgeuses
 edgeuse = edgeuses[0]
 loop = edgeuse.loop
 if (loop)
   UI.messagebox loop
 else
   UI.messagebox "Failure"
 end

EdgeUse.nextSketchUp 6.0+

The next method is used to retrieve the next edge use in a loop.

Returns:

next

the next EdgeUse object in a loop

 depth = 100
 width = 100
 model = Sketchup.active_model
 entities = model.active_entities
 pts = []
 pts[0] = [0, 0, 0]
 pts[1] = [width, 0, 0]
 pts[2] = [width, depth, 0]
 pts[3] = [0, depth, 0]
 # Add the face to the entities in the model
 face = entities.add_face pts
 loop = face.outer_loop
 edgeuses = loop.edgeuses
 edgeuse = edgeuses[0]
 eunext = edgeuse.next
 if (eunext)
   UI.messagebox eunext
 else
   UI.messagebox "Failure"
 end

EdgeUse.partnersSketchUp 6.0+

The partners method is used to retrieve all of the partner edge uses. This method allows you to find all Faces that use an edge.

Returns:

partners

an array of partner Edge Use objects.
