      Hi - I need a tip
      is there a possibility to position components (or groups) directly next to each other on their component frame automatically? (something like you can see below)

          Thanks Box !!!! πŸ‘ a perfect plugin solution - exactly what I was looking for. Only - I can't get it to run (SkUp 2016 Pro / Win10) so far...

              thanks Pilou - somehow I have missed all these ingenious toolsets πŸ˜„
              although Box's recommendation was an exact hit in my actually case, I will try out your tip also because theses tips always give great solution options for future tasks ...

                Or more funny the Component random replacement always by Sdmitch!

                Advantages :
                you can make without random so your wish above but also random!

                But the big one is that you can make that on any curves! πŸ˜„
                (just put "Targets" component as you want on a 3D curve(s) a simple component "x" is sufficient )

                Is beautiful that please without concept!

                  A very versatile tool indeed!

                  Just a little trick : all Targets must be a same copy component else Source(s) don't follow the different target's orientations!

                  I believe in this one you have Relative size or not! πŸ˜‰
