      Incredible!
      I can't believe that this for free, you know that you gave away a "super-randor.rb" to us?

      Thank you very much for the hours(?) you were spending for the devolpment. I agree with CadFather: A must have.
      Thank you.

            At me problem as well as at CadFather. Second click does not work.
            I so did not understand that it is there needed to do with layers.

                  Hi Didier!
                  May be it was discussed earlier ..
                  1.There are 2 bugs: the plug-in limits drop-down list of components (for example 290 in model is reduced to 10 in dialog).
                  2.drop-down list is not stable: drop-down list of components is visible only if down arrow
                  is continually pressed.
                  Thanks for attention.

                    Hi all,
                    Here is the new toy.

                    The last file is for french users only.

                    Enjoy πŸ˜„

                    How about including the ability to use a layer as a mask for including/excluding selected areas for component placement? Or how about being able to select a material type to include/exclude? Thus, if I had a street layout on a layer, I could click on 'Streets' layer and use it as an exclude mask for vegetation. Or I could click on a 'Soils' layer and 'include' this for component placement. The material option would allow me to select a material named 'dirt' as receiving all vegetation components.

                        For the some or other reason the grass component I want isn't showing up in the drop-down list for components to spray. I've renamed the component so the name starts with a "#" as well as with a "01" in an attempt to get it to surface to the top of the list, but it still isn't showing up.

                        Does anybody have any idea how to get components onto the list that isn't showing up?

                          OK, just tried the tool in a blank skippy. If you have a sky dome the spray tool doesn't work as expected - stuff ends up on top of the sky dome.

                          Didier, is it possible for you to sort this out?

                            Couldnt you just spray the components and then place the sky dome?

                              I've moved the surface on which I want to spray above the sky dome, but it is still not working as expected.

                              The surface is in a group, the group is active and I am able to select the surface and make changes to it. The spray tool keeps on returning an error about there not being a surface onto which to spray (not so, there is) tried up to 3000 tries.

                              Still trying to get the component of choice onto the list to pick from (which component to spray).

                              I'm working through the manual again to see if there is anything I missed.

                                It seems that I have missed some particular situations (sky dome).
                                I have totweak the script, and implement the layer mask feature.

                                          I have not tried it again, will do so later on and report back (obviously) if I experience any difficulties.
