<p>The SketchUp API has been around in some fashion since the early days of SketchUp, and with every release we have extended its capabilities. Read below for what's been changed.</p>
<p>Though our adoption rate to the latest version is quite high, it can take time after a release before everyone upgrades. If you are building scripts that rely on functionality from the most recent version, be sure to check the <span class='object_link'><a href="Sketchup.html#version-class_method" title="Sketchup.version (method)">Sketchup.version</a></span> to make sure your users are able to run your script:</p>
<pre class="code ruby"><code class="ruby"><span class='comment'># You do something like this in the initialization routine of your extension.
</span><span class='id identifier rubyid_version_required'>version_required</span> <span class='op'>=</span> <span class='int'>16</span>

<p>Overlays are a new SketchUp API capability which allows developers to persist extension behaviors while you are using other tools. Effectively, extensions can now continue to analyze, visualize, and create information in the modeling window as you continue evolving a SketchUp model using other native tools and extensions. Previously, extension developers were limited to drawing information to the modeling window only when their extension had a tool active .</p>

<h2 id="label-Made+Ruby+Console+output+more+consistent">Made Ruby Console output more consistent</h2>
<p>Earlier versions of SketchUp printed the return values to Ruby Console commands different depending on platform. This has been made consistent following the pattern of Ruby's own IRB tool. A side effect of this is that the console now uses <code>.inspect</code> instead of <code>.puts</code> when printing the returned value which makes it less ambiguous in many cases. For example <code>nil</code> vs <code>""</code> that would otherwise print a blank line in both cases.</p>

</li><li>
<p>Increased performance of PNG image export for colorized materials. Previously, it used to use max compression. Now we use a more balanced compression setting. This affects <span class='object_link'><a href="Sketchup/Texture.html#write-instance_method" title="Sketchup::Texture#write (method)">Sketchup::Texture#write</a></span> as well as the texture writer.

<h1 id="label-What-27s+new+in+SketchUp+2019">What's new in SketchUp 2019</h1>
<h2 id="label-Upgrade+to+Ruby+2.5.1">Upgrade to Ruby 2.5.1</h2>
<p>We have upgraded from Ruby 2.2.4 to Ruby 2.5.1. These upgrades tend to introduce subtle changes to the Ruby language that sometimes are difficult for us to find in our internal testing. Our testing has not found any major compatibility issues between Ruby 2.2.4 and the new 2.5.1 and we expect the upgrade for most developers should be relatively straightforward. Please note that any compiled C extensions will need to be rebuilt. Ensure OpenSSL library calls are compatible.</p>
<h2 id="label-Dashes">Dashes</h2>
<p>Stipples and dots and dotted stipples, oh my! SketchUp has added a Dashes feature that allows for unique line styles to be applied and controlled at the Layer level. We have exposed this new feature in the Ruby and C APIs. See the Improvements and Fixes sections of each API for a list of classes and methods we’ve added. See the documentation for each API for complete documentation on how to use these features.</p>
<h2 id="label-InstancePath+Support+for+Dimensions+and+Text">InstancePath Support for Dimensions and Text</h2>
<p>In SketchUp 2019 we have added <span class='object_link'><a href="Sketchup/InstancePath.html" title="Sketchup::InstancePath (class)">Sketchup::InstancePath</a></span> support to our existing <span class='object_link'><a href="Sketchup/DimensionLinear.html" title="Sketchup::DimensionLinear (class)">Sketchup::DimensionLinear</a></span> and <span class='object_link'><a href="Sketchup/Text.html" title="Sketchup::Text (class)">Sketchup::Text</a></span> classes. Now when creating a Linear Dimension, or an attached Text object, you can attach it to a nested entity by providing a valid <code>InstancePath</code> object, or an array version of an instance path. This will allow you to create a dimension in model space, but attach it to a valid nested entity. The linear dimension or text will then be attached to that entity, exactly how it is when linear dimensions and text are created via the UI.</p>
<h2 id="label-Ruby+API+Breaking+Changes">Ruby API Breaking Changes</h2>
<ul><li>
<p>SketchUp changed how it presents units. Now it adds a space between the number and the unit indicator. If your extension uses a method of your own creation to interpret strings formatted by SketchUp you might find it doesn't work anymore if you don't account for the extra space. For example:</p>
</li><li>
<p>Before 2019: <code>"2.5mm"</code></p>
</li><li>
<p>Now in 2019: <code>"2.5 mm"</code></p>
</li><li>
<p>Ruby Version Upgrade - Ruby 2.5 removed the method: <code>Dir::Tmpname.make_tmpname</code>. If you were using that method, you will need to find an alternative</p>
</li><li>
<p><span class='object_link'><a href="Sketchup/Entity.html#delete_attribute-instance_method" title="Sketchup::Entity#delete_attribute (method)">Sketchup::Entity#delete_attribute</a></span> no longer returns <code>true</code> when attempting to delete a non-existing dictionary key</p>

<h2 id="label-LayOut+Ruby+API+for+SketchUp">LayOut Ruby API for SketchUp</h2>
<p>This is a new Ruby based API for SketchUp that allows developers to read and write LayOut files using the regular SketchUp Ruby API. We’ve taken the existing LayOut C API and wrapped it with a Ruby layer and then included that inside SketchUp. This is proving to be a great working model for how to expose API functionality to our base C API and then expose that exact functionality to a Ruby layer without duplicating code.</p>
<h2 id="label-7BSketchup.send_to_layout-7D"><span class='object_link'><a href="Sketchup.html#send_to_layout-class_method" title="Sketchup.send_to_layout (method)">Sketchup.send_to_layout</a></span></h2>
<p>Along with the LayOut Ruby API for SketchUp we added the ability to open LayOut files with the LayOut application. This gives developers the ability to write a SketchUp extension purely in Ruby that parses the SketchUp model, writes a LayOut file and opens the LayOut file in LayOut in one smooth motion. This helps create a stronger connection between SketchUp and LayOut and can improve user workflows through the use of developer created extensions.</p>
