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,

Yey! everything works allright now!!! Thank you so much!
Sorry to have been such a pain in the ***, chris...

Thank you again!

Chris Fullmer · 26 Feb 2009, 20:05

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.

...I owed it to you

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.

Chris Fullmer · 27 Feb 2009, 09:01

Hey, that looks great! I don't know much about shaders, but the image sure looks good. Glad I could help,

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!

Hihi
I believe that is Protrude
The competitor of this one

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 ) 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!

pilou · 9 Mar 2009, 18:12

But Zorro2 by Whaat is cool too and give you more control
And works also for a 3D object!

(yes Protrude has just the Button to press between each generation

bugmcw · 9 Mar 2009, 23:38

well i had protrude already (go figure)

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

pilou · 9 Mar 2009, 23:45

You must select face or object not grouped first!
Except that no idea

bugmcw · 10 Mar 2009, 00:14

hahah fortunately for me i got THAT far.... i select the face and just click away an nothing happens, maybe i will try to re-download it

[edit] redownloaded and reinstalled with same issue as before.... this is too weird... i can select rectangle, then choose Protrude... the dialogue box pops up, i hit divide and nothing.... weird...

It's my fault - it doesn't work on a Mac and I don't have a Mac to try it on. I'm sure I could get it to work. Anyone want to buy me a Mac?

xrok1 · 10 Mar 2009, 00:28

i'll model you one if that helps.

bugmcw · 10 Mar 2009, 01:15

haha i wont buy you one Jim, but youre more than welcome to test on mine! let me know if i can help!

pilou · 10 Mar 2009, 07:32

So goto the Protrude thread and ask your problem !
Maybe it's because you have a Mac

Damned crossing post

Chris Fullmer · 1 Sept 2009, 04:58

Ressurecting the dead - or at leas the long forgotten!

But I've updated this script, and its a big enough update that I thought I'd post and let people know. Two main things are that it now works inside of groups and components and does not cause bug splats! (that was a big bug I never noticed until about 3 weeks ago, oops!). Also, the script remembers your settings between uses (but not between SketchUp sessions).

So if you have an old copy (include clf_greeble.rb or an old clf_greeble2.rb) please delete them and install this one.

UPDATE August 31, 2009
2.20:: 2009-08-31

Fixed a MAJOR bug that would cuase SketchUp to crash when greeble was used inside a group or component. So yes, you can now safely use Greeble inside a group or component!
Changed some code that should theoretically speed things up ever so slightly....frankly I don't think it helped.
Changed some code to make it run smarter, skip certain methods if they were not being executed.
Fixed some code that could cause problems when faces would overlap.
2.21:: 2009-08-31
Now user input settings are rembered between script uses.
