Ruby Api

Api is a common definition, which means that different programs can make requests and exchange information, that is, talk to each other. In the examples, the JavaScript code in Web dialogs communicates with the Ruby On Rails code. Ruby On Rails is a plain text programming language and API is Application Programming Interface. Ruby Api gives the designer the ability to automate the SketchUp design process. There are also many other different development environments for script design. With Ruby Api, the designer can program additional add-ons so the design work is much more efficient.

CAD - design And Google SketchUp

CAD designing means computer-aided designing that enables the user to create different 2- and 3-dimensional drawings. Drawings can be used in construction and manufacturing. There are many AutoCAD programs and there are many Plugins. It is possible to bring drawings from other Cad systems to Google SketchUp depending of the file format. One can example import a map with Google Earth terrain into SketchUp. Google SketchUp also allows you to export your drawings either as a 3D model or as a 2D graphics. You can also create animations from drawings.

Google Sketchup Plugins

These examples do not use volume models. All examples are surface models. Plugins allow surfaces to be selected together or individually. The number and range of surfaces can be calculated together or individually. The surfaces of the models can be rotated together or individually. All the number of pieces, surfaces and edges in the models can be calculated. The program code can be edited so that also template properties can be downloaded to the Web dialog. Or whatever the programmer wants. The possibilities are almost limitless. Additions may also be used as various combinations and are freely modifiable.

Geometry

The geometry that SketchUp uses is made up of edges and surfaces. So, in SketchUp all geometry is created on edges and surfaces and each model uses these two building blocks.The basic surface consists of four edges and one surface. In the formation of the surface, at least three edges of the same level are required and the edges must form a loop. Also, the curved surfaces consist of smaller straight surfaces.The surfaces do not have a thickness. 

JavaScript

JavaScript is a programming language that can increase web page interactivity. It enables user to create dynamically updating content to web pages. Things like animations, images and multimedia. It is an object-oriented language with prototypal inheritance. JavaScript supports several built in objects. Programmers can create or delete these objects. In these Plugins JavaScript communicates with Ruby On Rails scripting language.
