Medeek Wall API Documentation

Overview

The Medeek Wall API allows developers and advanced users to programmatically create and manipulate Medeek Wall assemblies inside SketchUp using Ruby. Additionally specific sub-assemblies within wall assemblies can be added, modified, queried, and deleted (ie. doors, windows, garage doors and columns).

All public API methods are accessed through the following modules and classes:

Medeek_Engineering_Inc_Extensions::
  MedeekWallPlugin::
  Wall::
  MedeekMethods

wall_draw

Creates a new wall assembly between two points.

Syntax

wall_draw(pt0, pt1, wallfamily = 'Rectangular', walltype = 'Int-Ext')

Parameters

pt0 - Start point (Geom::Point3d or [x,y,z])
pt1 - End point (Geom::Point3d or [x,y,z])
wallfamily - 'Rectangular', 'Gable', 'Shed', or 'Hip'
walltype - 'Int-Ext' or 'Int-Int'

Examples:

mod = Medeek_Engineering_Inc_Extensions::
      MedeekWallPlugin::
      Wall::
      MedeekMethods

mod.wall_draw([0,0,0],[240,0,0],'Rectangular','Int-Ext')

# Create an octagon wall layout

Parameters

colgroupname - Column group name, naming convention always follows this pattern: COLUMN1, COLUMN2, COLUMN3 etc...
group - Wall group name or SketchUp group object (optional)

Returns

A hash of column attributes when the wall and column are valid
false or nil if the supplied object is not a valid Medeek Wall assembly and the column does not exist

Example

Medeek_Engineering_Inc_Extensions::MedeekWallPlugin::Wall::MedeekMethods.wall_column_read_attributes('COLUMN1')
Medeek_Engineering_Inc_Extensions::MedeekWallPlugin::Wall::MedeekMethods.wall_column_read_attributes('COLUMN1', 'RECT_WALL_ASSEMBLY_2024110823301222')

Notes

Use this method when you need to inspect all available column settings/parameters.
Please read the column attribute library index to understand what each parameter/attribute does with regards to the column sub-assembly.
This method is only intended for reading column configuration data it does not alter the model, the column or the wall assembly.
If no wall group name is supplied the selection set in the model will be analyzed to determine if a wall assembly has been selected.

wall_column_get_attribute

Reads a single stored attribute from a column sub-assembly within an existing Medeek Wall assembly.

Syntax

wall_column_get_attribute(colgroupname, index, library, group = nil)

Parameters

colgroupname - Column group name, naming convention always follows this pattern: COLUMN1, COLUMN2, COLUMN3 etc...
index - Zero-based index of the attribute within the specified column attribute library array
library - Column attribute library name, valid options are: 'medeek_wall_param5', 'medeek_column_adv', 'medeek_column_bp'
group - Wall group name or SketchUp group object (optional)

Returns

The current value of the requested column attribute when the wall, column, library, and index are valid
false or nil if the supplied object is not a valid Medeek Wall assembly, the column does not exist, or the requested attribute cannot be found

Examples

Medeek_Engineering_Inc_Extensions::MedeekWallPlugin::Wall::MedeekMethods.wall_column_get_attribute('COLUMN1', 0, 'medeek_wall_param5')
Medeek_Engineering_Inc_Extensions::MedeekWallPlugin::Wall::MedeekMethods.wall_column_get_attribute('COLUMN1', 0, 'medeek_wall_param5', 'RECT_WALL_ASSEMBLY_2024110823301222')

Notes

Use this method when you need to query one specific column parameter without reading the entire column attribute library.
This method is only intended for reading column configuration data, it does not alter the model, the column, or the wall assembly.
The index value must be an integer greater than or equal to zero and within the valid range of the selected library array.
If no wall group name is supplied the selection set in the model will be analyzed to determine if a wall assembly has been selected.

wall_column_set_attribute

Sets a single stored attribute within a column sub-assembly in an existing Medeek Wall assembly.

Syntax

wall_column_set_attribute(colgroupname, index, value, library, group = nil, regen = false)

Parameters

colgroupname - Column group name, naming convention always follows this pattern: COLUMN1, COLUMN2, COLUMN3 etc...
index - Zero-based index of the attribute within the specified column attribute library array
value - The new value to assign to the specified column attribute
library - Column attribute library name, valid options are: 'medeek_wall_param5', 'medeek_column_adv', 'medeek_column_bp'
group - Wall group name or SketchUp group object (optional)
regen flag - Set to true or false in order to regen the wall assembly after the new value is set, default is false (optional)

Returns

true if the attribute was successfully updated
false or nil if the supplied object is not a valid Medeek Wall assembly, the column does not exist, or the requested attribute cannot be updated

Examples

Medeek_Engineering_Inc_Extensions::MedeekWallPlugin::Wall::MedeekMethods.wall_column_set_attribute('COLUMN1', 0, 144.0, 'medeek_wall_param5')
Medeek_Engineering_Inc_Extensions::MedeekWallPlugin::Wall::MedeekMethods.wall_column_set_attribute('COLUMN1', 0, 144.0, 'medeek_wall_param5', true)
Medeek_Engineering_Inc_Extensions::MedeekWallPlugin::Wall::MedeekMethods.wall_column_set_attribute('COLUMN1', 0, 144.0, 'medeek_wall_param5', 'RECT_WALL_ASSEMBLY_2024110823301222')
Medeek_Engineering_Inc_Extensions::MedeekWallPlugin::Wall::MedeekMethods.wall_column_set_attribute('COLUMN1', 0, 144.0, 'medeek_wall_param5', 'RECT_WALL_ASSEMBLY_2024110823301222', true)

Notes

Use this method when you need to modify one specific column setting/parameter.
This method only updates the specified column attribute, it does not automatically redraw or regenerate the wall assembly unless the regen flag is set to true.
The index value must be an integer greater than or equal to zero and within the valid range of the selected library array.
The value cannot be nil.
If no wall group name is supplied the selection set in the model will be analyzed to determine if a wall assembly has been selected.
