[Plugin] Component Spray update
-
Adam,
Thanks for that detailed, but very clear explanation, it hadn't occurred to me that the random scattering was calculated along the circumferences of concentric circles. That actually is fascinating!
Sounds like your tweak is a useful addition.

fascinating indeed. now everything makes sense.

It'd be great to be able to scatter trees randomly, but at an average of say 1 instance per 10m². [/quote]
I'm looking for a way to randomly place people in a room: Jackson's suggestion would really do that job.
Didier: Looking forward to your having enough time to re-address this Ruby.

I really appreciate the generosity with which you supply this community so many innovative tools. the dialogue that comes with your scripts is essential to improving SketchUp and how people interact with it.
Thank you. -
this looks like an amazingly useful plugin. thanks!

Dear Farmer,
Finally I have an occasion, and finally I straighten my install and finally I harvest a moment of your efforts.
Thank you, Farmer. You help make living in this valley a pleasure.

EDIT: This error may just be mine: perhaps having enabled 'hide everything else while editing group'.
There may be a limit on how far the routine likes to be 'buried'? That is, when I run it on a simple group, no sweat, but when I try to run it in group within a component, it seems to fail. Please see image. Top success within the group copied out of the component. Lower failure on the same group residing in the component. Perhaps I missed some advice in the use instructions. (Not an issue of overshadowing entities.)
I tried the same test in the naked group in the same location as the failing component and it worked fine, so it does appear to be that the routine wants to breathe a bit.

When spraying grass components onto a large area and I want to keep the numbers down the lowest available setting of 1% is still very much too high, so I make a request for percentages below 1.
My work-round for this is to include within the component a large triangle so the spray density is thus limited and then edit this out of the component later. This works fine.

Having a hard time now. Rarely is anything being sprayed, no matter the setting. No groups or components on the receiving end.
FloatDomainError?
