I guess it’s been available for a few months, but I just noticed that there’s a Ruby API for Google SketchUp. Looks like a cool tool for extending the building interface, integrating SketchUp entities with external software, and building procedural stuff, like making terrain or stairs.
Here’s a video of SketchUp developer Mark Limber talking about some of the possible ways to extend the software with the Ruby API.

Pretty sure it’s been available for years. Just checked and the first mention I found in my email of Ruby w/ SketchUp is 27 June 2006.
I’ve been enjoying the blog. Thanks!
