Dynamic Component Attributes of Arc's in Sketchup

I have a 3 point arc in my drawing. The dynamic attributes provided in standard are the same as for rectangles. Is there a way to define the 3 points as attributes to be able to change them dynamically afterwards?

Solution

  • You can use an AttributeDictionary that are attached to every Entity and Model to store custom attributes.

    dictname = "TestDictionary"
key = "arcs"
value = ["x", "y", "z"]
model = Sketchup.active_model
model.set_attribute dictname, key, value

dict = model.attribute_dictionary dictname
arcs = dict[key]

// or

arcs = model.get_attribute dictname, key
