[Obsolete] Component Spray Tool
-
Wow Didier, tlk about a quick turnaround time! MANY thanks, I really appreciate the trouble.

Hi Juju,
Thancks for the SKP. It DID help me to find why some components didn't appear in the list and why some other did.
You know, when you take a look at the "In model" tab of your components browser, you see say, 38 components. But in fact there are much more components loaded in the model definitions list: groups, images, and internal components. In your file there are 184 of them ! Fortunately I discovered a ruby method to distinguish which component is shown or not in the browser. What's shown is what you must have in the list. I replaced my old buggy function with this method and (drumroll) all went well: 38 components in list.
So I've some good news for you: version 1.12 has been uploaded at the top of this thread.
I've also corrected the "zillions of comps" bug when using flat 2D components. Now the scripts supports wire components either in X,Y,orZ.
Webdialogs to come in version 1.13 ... And maybe proxies too.

Didier, this is great news! thanks a lot for the uptate!

Didier,
You are a true legend!

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. -
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 ?
-
On SU Pro startup. Running Mac 10.4.9

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