Thanks to thomthom for suggesting doing this.

Thanks Renderiza - a great plugin.

1 question, is there anyway to avoid stacking objects on top of each other when free painting?

The closes thing to address this is "Don't Add:: If pointer on top of face" check-mark but its suggested that the axis of the object is being use to pain is centered. Problem with the method I mentioned is that it only works if you are painting on empty surface and you might still have some staking here and there.

I am still thinking to add a feature that solves this issue but until l then you might want to look at this...

On http://sdmitch.blogspot.com/ there is a plugin called Component Check - Check for over-lap of given component removes one.

Here is Direct link and video link...

Hey Renderiza, great plugin so far, I'm excited to see what you come up with next!

Just wanted to give you a head's up that there's a little typo (components is misspelled) that shows up in the Status bar when you hover over the Canvas Icon.

Nice work Rafael...

it would be great to have a short video – like the ones Rich produces – to show all the plugin's funcionalities.

I am afraid it just does not work for me on mac. I tried selecting some components, not selecting, different input points, etc. nothing happens.

could anyone explain the correct workflow to make this plugin work?

what is the difference between this and spray paint can?

It looks very similar to Component Spray. So what are the differences?

Hi,

There are couple differences but I guess the most significant is how each plugin choose to apply the objects. You can paint a single object at a time by left clicking with both plugins, but when it comes to applying multiple entities each extension have their unique ways of doing so.

Canvas will spray multiple objects by clicking & holding the left mouse button so that when you move around it will paint.

Component Spray has different shapes like line,triangle,square, ect. so the user draws with that shape and multiple object will spray according to that.

Both support random scale & rotate feature and each of them have different type of filters for applying object.

Note: I am currently working on Canvas for improving its web-dialog so keep an eye for future update

Thanks!

Really clean polished work. Well done.

Very nice Renderiza!

It would be great to have the ability to choose a bunch/list of components to paint, that alternate randomly or in a cycle - kinda like with the "component spray" plugin.
An idea to think about... Having the ability to set a point in space that all blue axis of newly inserted components will align to. Like a magnet point.
The ability to rotate objects randomly in all axis. Not only in the XY. Not sure what it would be good for... but it could be nice.

Can you close SketchUp and try running the plugin again a second time?
If I am not mistaken that error should go away...Please let me know.

That error has to do with trying to load the previous data stored but since your loading the plugin for the very fist time there is no data to load.

I thought I solved this by adding a condition to skip that line of code if there was no data but it seems the problem persists.

I will be very grateful if another person confirm this issue and if it went away the second time trying to load the plugin.

Thanks!

Very good suggestions!
Will try to integrate them for future updates.

One more thing...

Can you verify that your plugins folder permission are set to full?

Thanks!
