3-D modeling with SketchUp and Eclipse, Part 2: Coding with the SketchUp scripting language

3-D modeling with SketchUp and Eclipse, Part 2: Coding with the SketchUp scripting language: "Scripts allow you to add automation, animation, and geometric computation to your SketchUp designs. With the right code, SketchUp can become a rendering tool like Maya or a mechanical design tool like AutoCAD. This article, the second in a two-part '3-D modeling with SketchUp and Eclipse' series, describes a number of the basic classes used in SketchUp scripts and provides examples of their usage. With these classes, you can construct any 3-D figure composed of line segments and faces. Then you can configure the appearance of each face with colors and images."
