From: stephanie borg Date: 2011-03-18T03:09:24+09:00 Subject: no implicit conversion to float from string I have this program where there is float numbers in x and y which are then used to move a model to those coordinates. x = a[1] y = a[2] obj = Sketchup.active_model.selection[0] pt = obj.bounds.center.vector_to([x,y,0]) tr = Geom::Transformation.translation(pt) obj.transform!(tr) Ruby is giving me this error: # I tried to do x = a[1].to_s but still give me the same error -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
