actually since this is sketchup, i cannot output data in terms of 
puts... i have to make a vcb messagebox or a UI messagebox,, both of 
which are visual outputs,,
Also I am unable to use bigDecimal in the ruby script even when i put 
"require 'bigdecimal'" in the beginning it is not supported by it.. but 
you have to believe me it does come as 0.00032 as i saif and not 2.1! 
its quiet frustrating..
