          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. . .

              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
                  Relplace random Component by Sdmitch πŸ˜‰

                    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˜‰

                                it usually never is-- πŸ’š

                                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.
