Ebook: Automatic Sketchup: Creating 3-D Models in Ruby

Automatic SketchUp presents the Ruby scripting interface to Google's popular SketchUp tool for three-dimensional modeling. It explains how Ruby classes are used to form points, edges, and surfaces, and then proceeds to more advanced topics such as animation, web dialogs, and transformation matrices. It also presents the important topic of plugins, which make it possible to extend SketchUp's capabilities with new tools, menu items, pages, layers, and dialogs.
