3-D modeling with SketchUp and Eclipse, Part 1: Creating the bridge between SketchUp and Eclipse
One of Google's most recent and popular tools, SketchUp, takes the pain out of 3-D modeling. Not only does SketchUp make it easy to create designs manually but it also allows you to automate the design process with Ruby scripts. Because managing and editing these scripts is so important, it helps to have a full-featured development environment like Eclipse. Learn how to configure SketchUp and Eclipse so you can edit scripts in Eclipse and automatically execute them in SketchUp. 		Articles 14 Apr 2009  
 
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. 		Articles 12 May 2009
