button to the toolbar which would open the PDF file

Why not, good idea.

what slider are you using

@TIG: I'm using a custom slider programmed in js by K. Gilbert http://kegisiteweb.com/presentation.php. It's copyright free but rather old, that's maybe why it freezes under some specific configurations os/web browser/javascript version ?
It is in the JS folder in CompoSpray folder, and I've only added some trivial functions at the end of the file.

Anyone else getting the error "Cannot place component on selection" when it is just a basic ground mesh and assigning using the "point" method?

I've huge problem with using this plugin. Properties of this plugins is quite high & I've wide screen display so I can't reach the accept button...

Didier Bur

Hi,
@mra: check your altitudes settings in the dialog, possibly a bug in there
or did you select anything that isn't face(s) ?

@manwe: click on the Settings icon and tell the script to use sliders in the Style dialog list.

Hope this helps,

Hi,

I'm having some trouble with this tool not covering the selected face completely. It works on most but there are a handful of faces on this triangulated surface that clump my grass proxy together. I am pre-selecting the face and using the "selected faces" option.
Any ideas?

Didier Bur

Hi,
@rpinkham: maybe do you have some other faces hidden ?

rpinkham

Didier,
Thanks for the reply. There is no hidden geometry. It happens in a few locations in this larger scale site model...

Didier Bur

Are some faces reversed ? (apparently not on your screenshot, but still searching for a cause...)

rpinkham

The faces are all oriented correctly. I deleted the face and re-drew it with the same results.

Thanks for the update - looking forward to trying it out.

one tiny thing...
Searching the terms "component spray" and "compo spray"(without the quotes) on the Ruby Depot website via the link provided in the original post yeilds ZERO results.
"Your search - compo spray - did not match any documents. " (even if it claims to be a google search, I think the search is set up incorrectly somehow)

Here's the link to the Compo Spray tool on the Ruby Depot website. (had to do a "real" google search specific to the site to find it. )

(I didn't see the tiny "Discover it HERE" under the "blog post" on the Ruby Depot at first - which has the correct link)
C'est la vie, n'est-ce pas?

Hi Fletch,
Yes I know that, I must fix it for a long time
Note that even if the search return matches, these matches only direct you to the section, not the plugin page itself

I also had the problem Compo Spray was not working. The reason was, it is actually included in the SFC Powerbar set (didn't notice that!). So you have to remove it from there first. Or use the Powebar one.

What is this SFC Powerbar?

I tried to set up my plugins to be loaded from a custom folder so I could easily sync between multiple SketchUp versions and computers.
For the most of the plugins it went fine, but I got an error with Component Spray because it tries to load the language files from the SketchUp plugins folder instead of where the plugin is actually located.

If you use File.dirname( __FILE__ ) to get the path instead of Sketchup.find_support_file then it would solve this and the plugin could be installed to any location the user wants.

Hi,
As it is said in the doc, go to settings and change your dialog box style (with/without scrollbars).
