                sorry TIG

                I really don't understand how to use your plugin....

                I have the same statue in 3 LOD
                name is :

                statue-001+
                statue-001~
                statue-001-

                run the plugin

                see the boxes

                nothing happens on screen !

                  Are those +/~/- components loaded into the SKP, or at least available in the '../Proximity Components' folder that you need to add inside the '../Components' folder?
                  The script is pretty old and also quite ropey!
                  I can fix it if you really want!!
                  What is it you want to do exactly ??

                        You need to set a range in the dialog so that some statues fall outside the limit and are thereby made the '-' type. I assume that the three types are made with the same origin and overall dimensions BUT the farther ones are less complex forms ?
                        Do you want to PM me the three types and I'll see what's what... 😕

                            You can use the Random Replacement of a Composant by Sdmitch 😉
                            Just take one composant as source for avoid the random if neeeding 😉

                            And despite of that in case of Big Size component (polys) use the Ghost component by fredo 6 😉

                                  Where can I find the original .zip file for this? I've never used this before so I think I'm lacking a few things to make it work. I tried to just drop in the .rb file and create the subfolder in my components folder, but I can't get it to show up in the plugins list. Perhaps it would be helpful to repackage it with everything needed to make it work.

                                  Thanks TIG, this looks useful.

                                    Here's an updated version that fixes the 'missing menu issue'! 😳 Sorry! http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=46802#p46802

                                    Here's the guide MatrixProximityGuide.pdf
                                    All you need for 'Proximity' to run is a folder called 'Proximity Components' in the main 'Components' folder, useful IF you haven't already loaded a 'set' of three 'proximity components' [ending in +/~/-] into your model...

                                        'Proximity' was a tool that didn't develop much after I had the idea.
                                        It relies on you using it manually at each change of view with you having made two or three components with more/less detail for near/mid/far way from the camera locations [same origin etc but less geometry]. Each with +/~/- on the end of their name or thier SKP if external components used in the 'Proximity Components' folder inside Components folder, IF the components are not already loaded into the current SKP...
                                        I'd be interested in your feedback/ideas...

                                            Hi TIG, thank you again for this, I believe it will be really helpfull into the projetc I am currently working on, and I imagine to other who handle large files with repeated components.

                                            • the : + / - extension make real sense as well as : ~, but for some reason on a French keyboard : ~ is not an easy "key"

                                            • when saving "statue-001+.skp" the "+" sign transforms in "statue-001_.skp", I then have to rename the file...

                                            • would it be possible to have script that auto-saves a component into -001+ / -001~ / -001- ? maybe combined with Polyreduce...
                                              a one-stop plugin from a component file --> +/~/-
