How do I get user input in sketchup?  
How do I prompt for a point selection?  
then find a rectangle from 2 more points?  
How do I prompt for a edge, or face selection?

The SketchUp Ruby API is documented here:  
[http://download.sketchup.com/sketchuphelp/gsu6\_ruby/Docs/](http://download.sketchup.com/sketchuphelp/gsu6_ruby/Docs/)

Have a dig, it’s all in there (if a little confusing at times).
