Overview

The EdgeUse class defines how an Edge is used in the definition of a Face.

Version:

  • SketchUp 6.0

Instance Attribute Summary

  • #reversed? ⇒ Boolean readonly

    The reversed? method is used to determine if the edge direction is opposite of the edge use direction.

Entity - Inherited

#deleted?

The deleted? method is used to determine if your entity is still valid (not deleted by another script, for example.).
#valid?

The #valid? method is used to determine if your entity is still valid (not deleted by another script, for example).

Instance Attribute Details

#reversed? ⇒ Boolean (readonly)

The reversed? method is used to determine if the edge direction is opposite of the edge use direction. The edge use direction is the same as the loop it belongs to.

Examples:

entities = Sketchup.active_model.active_entities
points = []
points << Geom::Point3d.new(0, 0, 0)
points << Geom::Point3d.new(100, 0, 0)
points << Geom::Point3d.new(100, 200, 0)
points << Geom::Point3d.new(0, 200, 0)
face = entities.add_face(points)
loop = face.outer_loop
edgeuses = loop.edgeuses
edgeuse = edgeuses[0]
reversed = edgeuse.reversed?

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    boolean - true if reversed, false if not reversed.
