[Plugin] Component Spray Tool 1.3.

Chris Fullmer

Hi Didier, I have found that this script is conflicting with progressbar.rb, and therefore crashing all scripts that are using progressbar (makefaces in particular!, but I found the problem while developing my own script). There is a pb.update() method in the progressbar that seems to not work so I'm guessing that is where the conflict is - but I could be WAAAAY off. Thanks Didier!

I was wondering if anyone else could confirm this?

Does it make use of the disable UI argument for .start_operation ?

No.
Is there still a conflict with progressbar ?
I changed the class and methods names to get rid of any conflict in the latest version released.

It'd be interesting to see what speed this plugin worked at with the SU UI disabled. Any chance of an updated version?

Nope! It is working great now with progressbar. Thanks for fixing it so quickly too,

Didier, is this the last version of your tool?

Can I make a suggestion? It seems the altitude option is too "hard". I mean, I think you could add some dialogue to add a % of chance that components will spray below and above the maximum altitude. That way, they will concentrate on the set altitude, but some of them will spread casually beyond (unless you set the chance of that happening to 0%)

One can get interesting things with new vertice mode.

But there's bug in vertex+no to keep vertical . It's not working (see lonely cylinder over mesh, in all other cases components stay vertical)
To "keep vertical" unchecked will result the component to be placed vertical to mesh, it'll work this way, right?
P.S. I'm not programmer (my wife is- it's enough for one family) but you're one step from "spray along vertices of curve" ?
P.P.S. Do you shine in ruby field only or there are some lisp routins of yours?

hey!!! how did you create the cool DNA model man???!!!... i mean the perfect spiral thing... which plugin did you use???

I was used to code in Autolisp years ago, and now I'm learning Javascript along with Unity3D.

didier... your compo spray is interfering with the progressbar script.. any improvements you've made to compo spray so that it doesn't do the progressbar thing??

I though I had done this several monthes ago, but just in case see page 1 of this thread and download the latest version. The spray uses its own progress bar class named "sprayprogressbar", so there should not be any conflict with other plugin(s).
If the problem persists, not my fault anymore

um.. didier ... there's no ruby file in the latest update... there's one rbs file and one pdf file... where did the plugin go man...??? The rbs file is in the following folder.....

Utilisateurs\Bur\Exercices\Ruby\Component_airbrush

checked both the english and french versions.. both the archives contain the same files....please help...

Chris Fullmer

.rbs is a plugin. It is the extension put on encrypted plugins.

Didier, we are running into problems where it appears that this script is breaking progressbar again. I know you fixed it up perfectly quite a while ago. did it revert back somehow to a version that no longer works? Or do you think that it should still be working correctly and that perhaps it is something else messing up progressbar? Any thoughts?

I get an error when SketchUp starts:

Error Loading File compo_spray.rb
C;/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 6/Plugins/compo_spray.rb;1; no .<digit> floating literal anymore; put 0 before dot

Any ideas? I'd really like to try this out.

Thanks!
