      I missed this one, thanks Chris.

      I agree a random rotate in with it would be excellent, but it is easy to request these things when you are not the one creating them!

        All right, wishes granted! I just updated this script and it now has the "Component Base" scale point option as suggested by Jan. Sorry it took so long to implement. I kept hitting little speedbumps along the road with that feature. I think it is working quite well now.

        I've also added rotation. It rotates on the same base point as the scaling.

        I also updated the video in the first post to explain the new features. Here's a full feature list for the version 2.0 update:

        • Fixed a bug where it didn't let you scale items more than once using Axis. Should work over and over now.
        • Added "Component Base" support for those of us who don't set our component axes. This uses the bottom center of the component.
        • Added much more reliable FaceMe component support (I hope).
        • Added Rotation capability. Uniform and random with user specified min/max values.

        I tried to test it thoroughly, but its possible there are still bugs. Let me know (as I'm sure you will) if you find something,

          I forgot to mention that I changed the filename (sorry). It was clf_scale_multiple.rb. That should be deleted. And then install the new one which is clf_scale_rotate_multiple.rb

                    You already have free scripts that are better than some commercial ones.

                      Does it possible to have the scale and the rotation not randomized but "growing" one by one?

                        The problem with implementing that functionality is that SketchUp does not order the components you select the way you select them. So even if you select them one by one and hit the "grow" command, it might jump around in the process, and scale them out of order, rendering it useless.

                        Its possible to do for sure, but you have to make an assumption of growing them in the order they lie on the x axis or something. Then it would be possible to get them to grow in order. Or if the script placed them, it could keep track of them in order easily too. But I already know some of the math here starts getting me into trouble. I can see some of the shrinking spirals and sin waves you produce. That stuff just hurts my head ๐Ÿ˜„

                                  (how about an additional 'move' function? for offsetting each group/component...)

                                      Great script, but may I suggest a few enhancements:

                                      I'd like to be able to rotate and/or scale randomly within a min to max value, a selection of components by a chooseable local axis. (I.E. each components axis.)
                                      This script only works on the global/world Z axis, right?
                                      Preferably the user should be able to choose X, Y or Z or any combination of them. And choose between Local or World axis.

                                      "Why would you want that?" you may ask.
                                      Well I've spent some time making trees and this would speed it up considerably.
                                      I can think of other uses as well... ๐Ÿ˜„
                                      Let me know if I need to explain better what I want.

                                        I think it might exist already, so correct me if you are thinking something more. If you select "axis" it will scale and rotate on each component's local axis.

                                        Does that do the trick?

                                          Do you have the name of that plugin? Or do you mean you think its already in your script?

                                          Thats right but your script only rotates around the Z axis?

                                          I would like to be able to select x, y, z axis or any combination of them. Like three checkboxes one for each axis. Or a drop down menu.
                                          (It should still have Z axis as default.)
                                          And a checkbox for scale and one for rotation so you can have the script do just one of them or both in a easy to use way.
                                          If you want I could make a image explaining what I want.

                                            Ahh, yes. That makes sense now. Correct. the script only rotates on the z axis.

                                            Part of the problem with the checkboxes is that I would need to use web dialogs to make that work, and at this point, I have no clue how to do that. I could probably get all the options implemented using the default SU inputbox (expanding the current one), but that inputbox is very clunky and I don't love it. But I'll think about it and see if I can think of an easy way to get it all into the inputbox and not make it too overcrowded and difficult to understand.

                                            If you'd like to mock up an image, that would be fine with me too! Thanks Jan, you've been a great help on this script,
