Didier, is this the last version of your tool?

Can I make a suggestion? It seems the altitude option is too "hard". I mean, I think you could add some dialogue to add a % of chance that components will spray below and above the maximum altitude. That way, they will concentrate on the set altitude, but some of them will spread casually beyond (unless you set the chance of that happening to 0%)

One can get interesting things with new vertice mode.

But there's bug in vertex+no to keep vertical . It's not working (see lonely cylinder over mesh, in all other cases components stay vertical)
To "keep vertical" unchecked will result the component to be placed vertical to mesh, it'll work this way, right?
P.S. I'm not programmer (my wife is- it's enough for one family) but you're one step from "spray along vertices of curve" ?
P.P.S. Do you shine in ruby field only or there are some lisp routins of yours?

hey!!! how did you create the cool DNA model man???!!!... i mean the perfect spiral thing... which plugin did you use???

I was used to code in Autolisp years ago, and now I'm learning Javascript along with Unity3D.

didier... your compo spray is interfering with the progressbar script.. any improvements you've made to compo spray so that it doesn't do the progressbar thing??

I though I had done this several monthes ago, but just in case see page 1 of this thread and download the latest version. The spray uses its own progress bar class named "sprayprogressbar", so there should not be any conflict with other plugin(s).
If the problem persists, not my fault anymore

um.. didier ... there's no ruby file in the latest update... there's one rbs file and one pdf file... where did the plugin go man...??? The rbs file is in the following folder.....

Utilisateurs\Bur\Exercices\Ruby\Component_airbrush

checked both the english and french versions.. both the archives contain the same files....please help...

Chris Fullmer

.rbs is a plugin. It is the extension put on encrypted plugins.

Didier, we are running into problems where it appears that this script is breaking progressbar again. I know you fixed it up perfectly quite a while ago. did it revert back somehow to a version that no longer works? Or do you think that it should still be working correctly and that perhaps it is something else messing up progressbar? Any thoughts?

I get an error when SketchUp starts:

Error Loading File compo_spray.rb
C;/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 6/Plugins/compo_spray.rb;1; no .<digit> floating literal anymore; put 0 before dot

Any ideas? I'd really like to try this out.

Thanks!

Hi,

Hem, hem, it seems we have some problems with the scrambler now...
I've uploaded the latest RB version, in which there's NO progressbar class. I suppose there's a conflict with another plugin than this one.
Sorry for the inconvenience with the RBS.

Hi I'm trying to install this on Mac with Sketchup 7.
The compo_spray.rb is in the Plugins folder, but I'm not seeing it in the plugins menu. Have reinstalled SKP 7 from scratch, then unzipped the zip file in the plug-ins folder per instructions but nothing.
Is it not mac compatible?

EDIT: I tried it on a windows machine (XP with SKP 7) and I couldn't get it to work there either. The zip contains "compo_spray.rb" and the pdf file. Is there something missing? Thanks for any help.

If you read the PDF help file you'd see that Component Spray Tool is accessed from a pop-out menu in Draw Menu NOT the Plugins Menu !

Thank you! I guess I should read the whole manual...

This is an amazing tool.

This is a GREAT tool...
Would it be possible to make an option, where components sprayed don't intersect with each other...??
It's possible to prevent stacking, but I miss an option, where components don't intersect also...

Perhaps even an option, where I can define how close components can be to each other...
Could have both positive and negative entries...
Any ideas...??
