              You already have free scripts that are better than some commercial ones.

                Does it possible to have the scale and the rotation not randomized but "growing" one by one?

                  The problem with implementing that functionality is that SketchUp does not order the components you select the way you select them. So even if you select them one by one and hit the "grow" command, it might jump around in the process, and scale them out of order, rendering it useless.

                  Its possible to do for sure, but you have to make an assumption of growing them in the order they lie on the x axis or something. Then it would be possible to get them to grow in order. Or if the script placed them, it could keep track of them in order easily too. But I already know some of the math here starts getting me into trouble. I can see some of the shrinking spirals and sin waves you produce. That stuff just hurts my head πŸ˜„

                            (how about an additional 'move' function? for offsetting each group/component...)

                                Great script, but may I suggest a few enhancements:

                                I'd like to be able to rotate and/or scale randomly within a min to max value, a selection of components by a chooseable local axis. (I.E. each components axis.)
                                This script only works on the global/world Z axis, right?
                                Preferably the user should be able to choose X, Y or Z or any combination of them. And choose between Local or World axis.

                                "Why would you want that?" you may ask.
                                Well I've spent some time making trees and this would speed it up considerably.
                                I can think of other uses as well... πŸ˜„
                                Let me know if I need to explain better what I want.

                                  I think it might exist already, so correct me if you are thinking something more. If you select "axis" it will scale and rotate on each component's local axis.

                                  Does that do the trick?

                                    Do you have the name of that plugin? Or do you mean you think its already in your script?

                                    Thats right but your script only rotates around the Z axis?

                                    I would like to be able to select x, y, z axis or any combination of them. Like three checkboxes one for each axis. Or a drop down menu.
                                    (It should still have Z axis as default.)
                                    And a checkbox for scale and one for rotation so you can have the script do just one of them or both in a easy to use way.
                                    If you want I could make a image explaining what I want.

                                      Ahh, yes. That makes sense now. Correct. the script only rotates on the z axis.

                                      Part of the problem with the checkboxes is that I would need to use web dialogs to make that work, and at this point, I have no clue how to do that. I could probably get all the options implemented using the default SU inputbox (expanding the current one), but that inputbox is very clunky and I don't love it. But I'll think about it and see if I can think of an easy way to get it all into the inputbox and not make it too overcrowded and difficult to understand.

                                      If you'd like to mock up an image, that would be fine with me too! Thanks Jan, you've been a great help on this script,

                                        Here is a mockup of a possible interface without a fancy web dialog.
                                        "Scale about" is same as current version.
                                        Should maybe change name to something like: "Origin"

                                          Hi! first of all, great plugin!!
                                          i have a suggestion: is it possible to have an "aplly" button in the plugin interface? i mean, sometimes is good to play around with the settings, and when you hit "ok", if you want to play a little more, you have to go all the way down again and set everything again.....so, i think an aplly button will help a lot, because it wont close the plugin window, so you can change the settings and aplly them again in the same window!
                                          anyway, this is a very useful script, thanks a lot!
                                          regards from brasil,
