            Not exactly . . .but thanks for the effort / response.

            I think my image above was misleading. What I need is to show this bin (Image A) filled with ping pong balls like image B. I am just not sure how to make this happen in a fairly natural random way. . .

              Did Sketchy Physics not work for this?

                A few years back I did something similar with spray cans dropping out of a box.

                It works fine if you use the earlier link as a base. I'd try again except I don't have it installed.

                  I guess I didn't understand that the attached model was a SUPhys model. I guess I am going to have to learn it in order to do what I need to do.

                  Thanks for the help.

                    You can use that πŸ˜‰ (file linked)
                    Take any number of Spheres you want (groups or components) at any place above the SkateRamp πŸ˜‰
                    Launch Sketchyphysics
                    Make a Pause at any time you want
                    Open the Outliner
                    Select Spheres inside the Oultliner else the animation go to the start!!!
                    Copy / Past balls in your project πŸ˜‰

                    During the animation you can take and move any ball !
                    If you want another curvated form blocks : just make 2 separated blocks A & B! (groups or components)
                    StaticMesh / Convexhull

                    Have fun πŸ˜‰

                    PS And if you want more sophisticated balls with Number : use the very tricky

                      I have replaced the file on the previous post πŸ˜‰
                      Groups are now components so you can remplace them at the end by anything you want πŸ˜„
                      Yes you must install SketchyPhysics else nothing will arrive πŸ˜‰

                      Even you don't know Sketchyphysics : You have no more to make
                      Just Press Start and Pause and re read the post above πŸ˜„

                          so I downloaded the latest and greatest of SP3 and on the start up I get this. . .
                          capture.png

                          and when I press the Play button I get this. . .

                          Capture 2.PNG

                          any thoughts?

                            Ah damned 😲
                            I am affraid to say that I don't know why you have this sort of thing πŸ˜•

                            Try to install a previous versions of Su
                            That I shown was done with a recent version of Sketchyphysics on an old SU 7 version πŸ˜„

                            Another thing : seems Sketchyphics makes some interference with some other plugs
                            so disable it when you don't use!
                            I just change the name of its extension ".rb" as ".rbo" in the plugin folder πŸ€“

                              I was afraid of that. I've only got 1400 Plugins that could be the problem. Should be no problem going through all of them. πŸ˜’

                                Save somewhere the folder Plugins
                                Create a new folder Plugins
                                Install Sketchyphysics
                                run it
                                but from you error messages I doubt that will be sufficient πŸ˜‰

                                  when it comes to me, but I will give it a try.

                                    I'd give component spray a whirl. It is fast and polite. Try it with a simple 3d tick of the same cross dims as your balls, then redefine the component as you wish if it works out.
