Is there a way to to spray onto closed components, rather than only onto "open" surfaces?
edit: I think stacking does it... ok! never mind!
Wonderful plugin!!!!

Does this not work on a Mac the same way than on a PC ??
As you see in his error report, the plugin is trying to look for the file at:
/Users/Fraser/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/Plugins/CompoSpray
while the plugin itself is located under:
/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/Plugins/compoSprayToolbar.rb:14OSX has a system Library folder and a User Library folder that looks very similar, and some users end up adding plugins to User Library. And I think Podium installs there.
And then you can get issues withSketchup.find_support_fileThe best way to determine the base path of your supporting folders are:
File.dirname(__FILE__)In your case it'd be:
@path_cs = File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/CompoSpray/"However, that won't work in .rbs files.
In Vertex Tools I made the uncrypted loader, which was a regular .rb file, determine the paths and assign it to constants which the .rbs files could use.I've never had any path issues that way, and the plugins can be installed anywhere on the system. (if the user prefers to install in a custom location.)

Hi,
Thanks for all these tips and explanations TT
-
So is there a way I can update my plugin to get it to work or do I have to wait for an update? Can I change some code? I looked for the code attached to Didier's post but couldn't find it in any of the files I had. Again, I'm not super familiar with code so it may be somewhere else.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for the discussion and attempts to resolve my issue. Much appreciated.

Hi, I have tried to use this plugin on SU7 free, but cannot get it to work. I did not have the previous version so there were no files to delete. instead of the input box for 'shape' I get the box as shown for 'vertices of faces'.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Nick

I got the same thing at first. After playing around with the model, making new components and refreshing the compospray window (by closing and reopening) that got solved.
-
I had a different problem with the altitude (min max) bars not updating their info unless I start moving the sliders. sometimes the sliders disappear completely and I need to refresh...
-
when using the spray tool, sometimes it works really quickly, other times it gets stuck for a very long time, even though the places on the curved surface I am clicking on look all quite the same. I am not sure how to recreate this, if I'll get to it I'll repost.

@nickchun: this happens when the selection isn't empty before launching the tool.That's normal. If you read the doc you will notice that
PLEASE READ THE DOC FOLKS !

Didier, sorry, I didn't pick up on that in the manual. Components need to be placed in model outside of the selection right? Works fine. Thanks very much

Thanks for update the plugin, i would like translate the plugin to spanish language, is this possible?

It does bugsplat ?[/quote]
It does nothing
just closing SU down. Tested on SU 8.0 Works OK. But I have 7.1 Pro only. I guess some of ruby previously downloaded dcause that... But don't know which of them. Some of other commands from LSS tools and Tools on surface cause Closing down as well. They used to work well.

Weird.
There shouldn't be any conflict with another plugin because all is wrapped in a Ruby Module, and there are also no redefinition of standard methods or classes. A workaround would be to empty your Plugins folder except compoSpray, see if it works, and then add other scripts one by one and check when it makes SU close.
Hope this helps, -

Components must have been imported in your model (you can see such components when clicking on the "house" icon of the components windows) prior to using the tool, otherwise they won't appear in the dropdown lists.
When you select faces before launching the tool, the shapes dropdown list is replaced by 2 options: insert a component at each vertex of each selected face, or use the selected faces as the area to spray on. -
Hi Didier
Sorry to come back with a new problem!

I created a flat inclined plane, centered it at the origin, and put a yucca bush on it.
Under "Spray" I had two choices as expected:
Selected Faces
Vertices of FacesI clicked on the plane, chose my yucca plant and selected "Selected Faces", then pressed "Spray"
Nothing happens.

@bob james:

Same problem than Simon for the cursors in V6 : they don't move
But I have also a more difficult problem!
I can't see the total dialog box!!! and it can't be resized!
-
Haven't had any chance to play with this...
But the bug I reported previously is identical to what Bob James have reported above...@didier bur said:

@Pilou: what a bunch of toolbars you have there !
compoSpray dialog box is 900 pixels (height) without scrollbars, that's right.
Isn't your screen more than 900 in height ? -
