      Is there a plugin that would automate the process of filling a volume with components?

      I'm thinking of a scenario such as a model of a jar filled with marbles. It would be pretty laborious to place each individual marble, ensuring that they don't intersect with one another or the sides of the jar, and wondered if there was a plugin or technique that might help in this kind of situation?

        You have Sketchyphysics by CPhillips and CompoSpray by Didier Bur who can make that πŸ˜‰

          Thanks for the advice Pilou.

          To be honest I'm a bit intimidated by Sketchyphysics, so I'll try and figure something out with CompoSpray.

          Would I be right in thinking that CompoSpray doesn't work within a volume, but I could achieve what I want by stacking planes with components sprayed onto them (deleting the planes afterwards)?

          Or did you have some other technique in mind?
