[Plugin] Compo Spray 1.4.2 Updated

boofredlay

I keep getting 7 script errors every time I launch the tool. I have to close out as it is unusable. Hmmm.

I just downloaded it today and unzipped it into the plugins folder.

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.

Please see Eric's post above this one as he seems to need some assistance.

Hi Eric,

The 7 errors you are getting are all 7 variables "update_..." I guess. These are the seven sliders 'updaters' in the Webdialog.
So if 'update_pressure' and its friends aren't defined, this means that the Javascript script is either bad or not present.
Please check that you have a file named 'slider.js' in your Plugins/CompoSpray/JS folder.

Attached is the file that you need (you must unzip it) in case (for some reason) you don't have it.
Let me know if it works or not

Unzip in your Plugins/CompoSpray/JS folder

Well you were right that file was not in the JS folder. However after unzipping it an placing it there I still get the same errors.

I am on a network if that makes any difference although I don't see how it would.

Do you mean that your Plugins folder (and SU itself) is not on the local machine ? I've never tested such a config.
Below are folders/files images so you can check your installation:
main CompoSpray sub-folder of Plugins
CSS sub-folder contents
Images folder contents

Didier, how do you compile the path to the support folder? Do you use Sketchup.find_support_file('plugins') assuming the plugin is installed in the SketchUp plugin folder?
If you do, it's better to use File.dirname(__FILE__) to get the actual location of the plugin - allowing it to be installed anywhere.

Oh no, the plugins folder is on my local, the lic. is a network lic. and points back to a server.

My CSS, IMAGES and JS folders look the same but the Compo Spray folder looks like this:

Great work on the plug-in.

Is there anyway to apply rotation in the 3 axes? Instead of just one.
Thanks

Not in this release, but this is a good idea...

It would be great for some abstract worldds

those where imported from a 3rd party, they lack acurancy and are bugged so solid tools wont work.

Hi,

Obviously, some options in these webdialog are missing, any idea what I should need to do to avoid this from happening?

Thanks!

What version of SketchUp and what version of Internet Explorer do you have?

I moved (and merged to the original topic) your posts. Didier may monitor his own plugin topics but unlikely to discover your posts in the SU Bugs subforums (and apparently it is not a "native" SU problem).

Why are there missing controls in the Dialog Box?

Didier Bur

Hi,
It seems to me like your installation is wrong, because you miss the sliders. Check for a "CSS", a "IMAGES" and a "JS" folders under the Compospray folder ?

Okay guys, I know I must be missing something important here. I'm using a MacBook Pro, Snow Leopard, SU8 Pro. I've loaded, uninstalled, and reloaded CompoSpray 1.4.2 at least half a dozen times. It simply will not show up anywhere in my menus. It's in the correct Plug-Ins file, and I'm pretty sure there are no other installations anywhere else. I've used the plug-in before on a Windows PC, and I love it. I miss it. I want it.
HELP ME!!! Please!!

PS: I'm not a SketchUp newbie, but I'm also not a techie. I need plain English, simple words, pictures if possible. Thx.

The tool has a loader made by compoSprayToolbar.rb which is in the 'plugins' folder.
There is also a subfolder of files - 'CompoSpray'.
The location of the plugins folder is in the MAC hd... lib - as outlined on the first page of the tool's PDF help-file.
It adds a submenu in the 'Draw' menu that runs the tools...
It also makes a toolbar that needs to be activated from the 'View' menu 'tool-palette' submenu list...
Because it uses lingvo files for locale translations you might think that it might needs deBabelizer.rb in 'plugins' [which is supplied with several of my own tools] - however, Didier has made up a hash to do this within his own .rbs files...

Sir

Is it possible to set the density of the components sprayed?

what are the trials to drop components? - this model has just gone past 64000
