Class: Sketchup::Set Deprecated

Relationships
Inherits: Object

Overview

Deprecated.

In SketchUp 2014 this class was changed from Set to Sketchup::Set in order to avoid conflict with the Ruby Standard Library. The Sketchup::Set class is deprecated and new extensions should make use of Ruby’s Set class unless they need backward compatibility.

The set class represents a collection of unique objects. This class is useful for keeping track of a group of related entities, kind of like a selection set that stays around for as long as you need it to.

To make a set of your own, create an empty one using Set.new, and then add items to it.

Examples:

set = Sketchup::Set.new
set.insert(1)
set.insert(2)

Compatibility Shim

module Example

  # Shim for the Set class which was moved in SketchUp 2014
  if defined?(Sketchup::Set)
    # Warning! Do NOT do this in the global namespace!
    Set = Sketchup::Set
  end

  def self.test_set_shim
    set = Set.new
    set.insert('Hello')
    set.insert('World')
    puts set.to_a
  end

end
