      Here's a new version, it is updated, where possible it will 'encode' the plugins folder-path [as extracted from __FILE__] into 'UTF-8' format.
      This means that in >=v2014 any 'accented' User-names might be now be possible with this tool.
      Please retry installing from this new RBZ into the main plugins folder as normal.
      http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=compoSpray
      But, if you still get errors because Ruby can't successfully parse the lingvo file-paths etc then please post them...
      It might not be immediately solvable, but at least we then know about it...

      If it works but you still get any similar errors in other plugins, then please post them in the appropriate threads, as the fix is relatively simple but not automatically used, as encoding was not possible up to v2014's arrival and there are also relatively few PC Users with accents in their names !

            Hi

            I am trying to use this tool to place 2D faceme components (plants) onto the ground. I keep getting a message stating

            "1000 trials to drop components done. Continue?"

            Whatever I press now, I get into an unbreakable loop where the either (if I press yes) the time to complete keeps going up exponentially and another message pops up or (if I press no) I get the spinning colour wheel. Either way I have to force exit sketchup.

            I haven't used the tool for a while, but don't remember this problem before.

            I have SU2016 on OS X.

            thanks

              Hi, this is a great plugin, thanks everyone involved in it!

              Is it possible to set a min/max rotation? I'm using it to spread deckchair on the shore, so they must be just slightly rotated, not fully random, as they should all be facing the sea

              Thanks

                Is this excellent plugin still supported? - I'm using SU2018 Pro and having the sames issues as below after it initially working brilliantly.

                  Hi!
                  I know it's been time since this plugin was hot but maybe someone could help me with problem I have with it.

                  Sometimes I get a message like this:
                  "More than 2 minutes to complete." or something like "It will take 1000 trials to complete."
                  The problem is that this window is inescapable. Regardless I click YES or NO, the same window pops up and totally blocks SketchUp (even if I choose the dialog to be non-modal). The only thing I can do is to close SU via Task Manager.
                  The same problem with SU 16 and 17.

                    Hi! I'm new to sketchup. I was wondering if
                    there are written instructions on how to use the Compo Spray plugin, for example in PDF.
                    Thank you.

                      Hi Sonia,

                      Yes there is a PDF help file.
                      See the Help button in the lower-right corner of the dialog ? Here it is 😉

                          Hi I love this plugin, really helps me in creating varied landscapes.

                          I have an issue. sometimes when I select on face or along line it tries to put a lot of items even though I have the pressure set at its lowest, and I get the message 1000 trials of components....
                          I'm working in mm, might this have something to do? please help!

                              Man this plugin would be great if it worked properly. No matter what I do I get loop error where I need to kill my SketchUp and restart it. Was it too hard to write a kill command that works? I click "No" and I still get the same question. Also sliders are gone.

                                  The program doesn't accept NO

                                  I have the same problem which had @chon (in 2014 year).. When I choose faces to place the components on and choose to not allow collisions (so simply trying to kill my PC).. It give message about how long it will take and asks if it should continue.. Yes only doubles the time, No gives me again the same message..
                                  I am installed in additional folder.. just yesterday from sketchucation so I believe I have all the fresh updated version..
                                  In standard plugins folder it works the same..
                                  on 2016 Pro and 2019 trial..

                                    I have installed the new version (from extension warehouse )

                                    on my windows 10 , the WebDialog is not displaying correctly .
                                    because the internal browser ( IE ) renders the wab page in legacy mode.
                                    by adding this line to the head , It will be corrected .

                                    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">

                                    the extention generates the html code by an RBE file which I can't modify and change .
                                    consider adding that line to the head section of compoHtml.rbe .

                                    thank you
