            Didier, thanks for the follow-up. Yup, found it shortly after posting the comment, thus I edited it as above.

            I have not tried it again, will do so later on and report back (obviously) if I experience any difficulties.

                      Could it be possible to set % less than 5% ?

                      1%
                      5%

                      Custom ?

                        That'll be € 20, mate. A copywriter needs to eat too. 💚

                        As do the nice folks who write all them cool Ruby scripts. I don't have a problem with people selling their scripts through Smustard. I mean, most of them are pretty cheap - and they can sure add a lot to SU's functionality.

                        Look at this way: if a lot of these cool, non-free scripts were incorporated in SU, SU's price would go up. At least now you can choose whether you want to spend more or not.

                          Oh, I don't have a problem with commercial scripts either and Smustard is a good place to buy them.
                          From time to time though, a plugin stands out from the rest and feels like it could be part of Sketchup itself.

                          I can imagine that a native Sketchup plugin written in C++ (or whatever the code language they use) can be streamlined more than a ruby, which works 'on top' of sketchup.
                          (difference in speed and performance?)

                              Agreed.
                              This is a plugin that deserves its place in an official Sketchup built.
                              Sometimes I like my French Fries with ketchup and not mustard, if you get what I mean.

                                I'm trying to use this fine plugin to spray some grass clipmaps around. However, I keep getting this message (paraphrasing): 36589 4578 9821 thingies will be created. In short: the numbers are off the chart. Seems to be a file-specific thing. Could this be scale related?

                                  Hi Stinkie,

                                  AFAIK that's "only" a warning about possibly too many polygons. As I remember, Didier wrote somewhere that you can go on - just maybe SU will never finish the job.

                                  Gai...

                                    As you said it mght be the scale, so check that first.

                                    Other stuff to check: spay density, might be able to lower it down a bit to reduce the number of thingies.

                                    edit: too quick for me gai.

                                      Even when that message pops up, clicking 'ok' will work.
                                      It will drop a handful objects and immediately the same message will pop up.
                                      Click ok again will drop a lot more objects....Again the message... now click cancel as with that next iteration it WILL drop the millions and your rig will explode 😄.

                                        Thanks, lads. "Spray density", that's "pressure", right?

                                          This brings me to a question I was asked over google talk the other day and never had an answer for, maybe someone here has one.

                                          What is the poly limit, or how many faces/ polygons have you been able to reach before SU said enough is enough?

                                          http://www.solos-art.com

                                          If you see a toilet in your dreams do not use it.

                                            Hmm, as far as I can remember, I haven't had any "poly overkill" splats just yet. Slow downs, yes. Splats, no.
