      Is it possible to make a dynamic component (or maybe a ruby script) that randomly changes between a number of predefined shapes when I make copies of it. For instance I could have 5 different kinds of trees baked into the same component, and when when I make 20 copies of this component I would like each of them to randomly assign one of the tree-shapes from 1-5. This would be awfully handy.

      Thanks.

          Hi Thom... πŸ˜• beat me... πŸ˜‰

          That would be Didier's Component spray tool (but you are underestimating its capabilities with your too modest wish) πŸ˜‰
