      Hard to tell without a model...

        Can someone help me? It´s kinda urgent. Basically, For some reason, the components are NOT dropping until the ground. I verified the axis of the component, verified everything, but it still doesn´t work. It´s also weird, but it doesnt work with the other plugin (Drop At Intersection) too!!

        They drop only a few centimeters. Unless I "drop by bounding box", but then, when dropping by bounding box, the components follow the contour of the terrain (which gets pretty weird for lightpoles)

          Sorry, but when I posted and attached the model, I didnt notice it failed to upload the model because it was larger than the 4mb forum attachment limit.

          I edited the first post and attached the model (now, 3mb)

              Thank you Box. Any slight idea why Raytracer, Drop At Intersection, etc, are not working?

                Sorry, I don't know the ins and outs of either plugin. Which is why I went for throw to. I can look tomorrow if nobody else does.

                  It appear to be because the ray traced hit the component it tried to drop. Apparently I forgot to make it ignore itself. If I moved the axis to the bottom of the component it worked fine.

                        No idea without test screenshots or preferable a test model.

                        I can send you a screenshot, but basically I'm having the same issue as one of the prior post with the car crashes.

                          SketchUp crashes?
                          What version of SketchUp are you using (full exact version please) and what OS?
                          Got a sample model and step by step description of what you do to reproduce it?

                            I'm new on sketchup and seem to not understand this plugin. I did a toposurface and modeled all the constructions on a big area. Now im trying to drop the components (i'm guessing it's going to be a lot of work but I'm fine with that) and I can't seem to be able to drop them into the terrain... They keep floating.. want to try raytracing but i dont understand that function.

                            Could you help me? Thanks a lot.

                              DCorral,

                              One thing you have to verify is the position of your axes inside the component. The origin of axes must be at the bottom of the geometry in order that the drop works.

                              Hope it helps.

                              Regards.

                                  Hey Thomthom,
                                  Spraycan crashes my SU every time I use it.. 😐
                                  I'm on OS X 10.9.5, latest SU 2014.

                                  Really easy to reproduce: open a new SKP (I work in mm or cm), draw a rectangle on the ground plane, select the default component ("Sophie") and spray her on the surface (radius 250 cm). Crashes every time... Of course it also happens in more complicated models.

                                  Could you please check / fix?
                                  Thanks in advance!!

                                    Hm..
                                    Did you submit the BugSplats?
                                    If you did, did you enter any info in the description or name that I can use to look it up? If you didn't, can you submit one and add some info I can use to look it up in the database?

                                      Hey Thomthom, just did. Mentionned Raytracer in the description, filed under the name "eph".
                                      Thanks for the quick reaction 😄

                                          By the way, what version of Raytracer and TT_Lib do you have installed? (Can you verify with full version numbers reported under Preferences > Extensions please?)
