[Plugin] Compo Spray 1.4.2 Updated

nickchun

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.

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 Faces

I clicked on the plane, chose my yucca plant and selected "Selected Faces", then pressed "Spray"

Nothing happens.

hello
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!

Frederik

Haven't had any chance to play with this...
But the bug I reported previously is identical to what Bob James have reported above...

@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 ?

Yes but
I have my screen 1024*768 !!! (15 inch)
You have some free lines empty in your dialog box

How do you see everything at such a small size?

1024x768 screen with IE6 and SU6?

Most time with Firefox, Opera... but also IE6 rarely
Why? That is forbidden?
I have no case where I can't see a Su Project!
(saved in SU6 of course)
Scrolling and zoom are my friends

Internet Explorer 6 - yes - it's forbidden.
Webdialogs under Windows makes use of the Internet Explorer installed on the computer. So Webdialog issues with IE6 is quite probable to occur.
You had problems with Vertex Tools's dialogs due to that, didn't you?

pilou

I make some mouse scroll (if possible ) and zoom when necessary
Generally is some sufficient
