    Hi Chris! Thank you for your answer!
    I had already downloaded and installed correctly "progressbar.rb" cos it's a basic plugin for other applications too πŸ˜‰. BTW I re-downloaded and re-installed it, but unfortunately still nothing changes.. 😳
    I didn't know anything about erasing the ' to get the current system unit settings: thank you. I asked since I'm not too familiar with anglo-saxon's units' system..

    BTW, I followed your directions and this is what the ruby console tells me. I copy-paste it here:

    Error: #<ArgumentError: comparison of Float with nil failed>
    (eval):44:in >' (eval):44:in update'
    C:/Programmi/Google/Google SketchUp 6/Plugins/clf_greeble_2.rb:173:in greeble' C:/Programmi/Google/Google SketchUp 6/Plugins/clf_greeble_2.rb:171:in each'
    C:/Programmi/Google/Google SketchUp 6/Plugins/clf_greeble_2.rb:171:in greeble' C:/Programmi/Google/Google SketchUp 6/Plugins/clf_greeble_2.rb:259 C:/Programmi/Google/Google SketchUp 6/Plugins/clf_greeble_2.rb:259:in call'

    Thank you so much, chris.

      Hmm, did you download the version that is posted on Smustard? That error corresponds to a line of code that is not part of the code. And the provided error does not correspond to what is written on that line also. BUt I have another thought, it does not work on groups or components. You have to have regular ungrouped faces. Or go into a group and then run the script. Is that by chance the problem?

        Hey!
        ..I'm sorry to report that I downloaded and installed the Smustard version of the plugin.
        And that I tried to greeble a manually-subdivided plane which was not a group..

          Are you on a Mac, or XP, or Vista? Are you using SU 6 or 7? And lastly, maybe could you pm me a copy of the plugin you have installed? And maybe also a model that you tried to use it on. There seems to be something fishy. But we'll figure it out,

            Oh, I use Windows Xp service pack2 or 3, don't remember..
            Sketchy6pro.
            ..I'm gonna pm you the ".rb"s later, cos now I'm at home and I tried the plugin at work. But I can tell you I'm quite sure that all of them are the latest plugins available. 😑
            Moreover, my not-so-well-working-scene is really simple: a square 1m x 1m subdivided into smaller squares 10cm x 10cm. No groups no components nothing at all: just the square. If I select all and start the plugin I get the message i pasted previously..

            I'm so embarassed to bother this much, Chris. But now it's become sort of a personal matter. πŸ˜„

                I miss something or we are obliged to recall the box dialog between each generation?

                  Yeah, I think the inputbox has to be recalled each time you want to use it Frenchy.

                  And Pibuz, I will make a grid and divide into 10cm boxes and try the script. Are you trying to offset it more than 5cm?

                  If it helps, I use a grid that is roughly made up of boxes that are 9m x 9m. So the deafult values will work best on a much larger grid than 10cm. Maybe just try it on a larger grid for starters. I think you will run into issues if you are trying to offset the face more than is tolerable.

                    Hi Chris!
                    I made a rar file containing all that you requested.
                    -skp file
                    -greeble.rb
                    -progressbar.rb
                    -offset.rb
                    -screenshots of the problem

                    Thank you so much. You're so kind...

                      ...Oh, BTW: I tried to use protrude.rb by Jim Foltz, and it appears to have the same problem.
                      I'm starting to feel like I've sort of a plugin conflict... πŸ˜’

                        ok, we're getting somewhere. It is possible that you are experiencing a problem that component spray tool is causing. Get the newest release here:

                        That might very well fix the problem. Let me know if it does,

                            Nope, absolutely not a pain at all. Thanks for staying around until we could find the fix. I really want my script to work for everyone.

                              Thank you Chris!

                              PS. Rendered in Indigo. I'm trying a blend map between pure gold shader (metal nk) and stone (diffuse bumpy shader). One night of calculations. I was looking for an high-contrasted image, to give the all scene a dark overall feeling. What do you think? Volume light in postpro.

                                  hey guys! i've tried searching and can't find it..... was there ever a plugin that randomly divides a face?

                                  There is one on the web that says it is in production (but that was updated August '08)

                                  Thanks in advance!

                                    I believe that is Protrude πŸ˜‰
                                    The competitor of this one πŸ’š

                                      Sheesh!, get me in trouble with Jim!

                                      Actually, you'd probably have to say my script is a competitor of protrude, since I wrote mine long after Jim wrote his (and Tig wrote his and Didier had written his πŸ˜„ ) For me it was just a great script to write to help me learn how to write scripts. Its largely inferior to Jims.

                                      Plus I know Jim had been working on a true greeble with little greebles added to all protruded faces. I want him to finish that one!

                                          well i had protrude already (go figure)

                                          but when i press 'divide' on a rectangular face it does nothing.... any ideas?
