[Obsolete] Component Spray Tool

[Tobobo]

Didier,

You are a true legend!

[Gaieus]

Just a quick workaround idea for 2D components:

Modify the component definition by adding a vertical line to the face on the red%green plane (to give it more than 0 depth) and use the script. Afterwards you can always delete this line (and of course it will be deleted from all instances).

Hi Gaieus,
No need to do that now. Component with a single line in it will work, either a XY line,XZ line or YZ line, or a flat surface, whatever you like.

I have a 2D flower comp (Always face camera) and I can't seem to get this to do anything. It goes thru the dialogues, etc, but then after I click okay .. .nothing. . . .I even added the little line to make it a 3D comp. Nuthin'!!!

help please. .. .

Didier is it complicated to add a new spray shape-
vertexes of selected surface ? There'll be lot of use for this mode.

[Didier Bur]

Hi,
Not very difficult to add.
Dropped it on the todo list

@j_forester: is this happening on SU startup or when using the script ?

[j_forrester]

On SU Pro startup. Running Mac 10.4.9

that did it. .. plus. . .always make sure there is a surface on which to spray.

You need to place the script within your Plugins folder inside SketchUp. Unzip it, if necessary.

About the plugin, how do you get it in sketchup? I try opening the file but wants to upload as a model and I put it in plugins folder but doesn't appear in sketchup. Does it only work in sketchup 6?

[david_h]

IT shows up in the DRAW pull-down menu. . .at least it does for me.

[warriorcat]

Doesn't for me

[l.frisken]

it is on one of the scf toolbars

[warriorcat]

checked that too
