Hi,

Now that I have understood correctly, it excites me to return to the experiment.

Now I see what it is possible to achieve with Charly, I'm one step more contrite that Compo Spray doesn't work for me

Hi,
Patience Simon... je vais publier la v 1.4.2 bientôt.
With an experimental directional spray:

Ah c'est chouette!!
et le directional spray va décupler les possibilités.
(ça mérite la patience )

Hey Didier!

I really can't get it working...I see the dialog still, I read your manual, pressed Spray but It doensn't do anything....What is wrong?!

Thanks!!
Grtz

@pep75: the only thing I can tell is that there is "something" wrong.
Seriously, please open the ruby console, launch the tool, and copy-paste-post the error message(s) here, so I can figure out what's wrong.
Or download the version 1.4.2., see top of thread

Top-Down spray works fine. When I try the perpendicular spray, though, I consistently get this error ("This shape is not available yet"):

Hi,
@tpstigers: Perhaps you didn't red the doc: it is said that this experimental tool only works with the point tool and spray shape tool

Thanks. I did read the doc. I guess I should have read it with my brain turned on.

Ah very cool!
Thx for the resizable Dialogue box!
for the next release : does it possible to have 24 #components?
(it's the 24 possible positions of a "cubic volume")
If you are interested I have yet the script for generated these components
(In python for Blender made by zeauro for 2.56 Blender)
So import these 24 objects in SU from Blender, then run CompoSpray

Je n'ai toujours pas capté de quoi tu parles

Instead of a limited set of combo boxes, why not have a single listbox where you can select multiple list item? And have any selected in SketchUp also appear selected in the dialog when you open it?

Didier Bur

@TT: as said in the doc: "I could have made multi-select lists, but I didn't because you wouldn't have that possibility to "balance" the amount of each component."

Nice idea !

C'est curieux parce que c'est hyper simple
Si j'ai un module cubique (je prends un dé à jouer à 6 faces pour bien figer le concept)
Ce dé à 24 positions possibles dans une boîte cubique de sa taille!
ça c'est évident

Si maintenant avec ton plug, je fais tomber ces 24 cubes dans une colonne à base carrée de la taille du dé, et d'une hauteur quelconque(x*le dé) j'ai une colonne composée de modules superposés de façon aléatoire.

Et bien si à la place du dé j'ai un module cubique légèrement plus compliqué, du genre se raccordant sur chaque face mais non symétrique à l'intérieur j'obtiens des métas structures pavant l'espace de manière non périodique!

C'est pour cela que j'ai besoin de 24 composants au lieu des 8 actuellement

Toute cette bidouille pour simuler ce que je demandais ailleurs, une affection d'une famille de composants (complexes) à un un ensemble de composants "simplex"

Say you have filled 3 dropdown lists with component named 'A' and filled the other lists with components 'B' 'C' 'D'.
The scripts randowmly selects what component to drop in a list that is, in our case [A,A,A,B,C,D].
That's-to-say, component 'A' has three times more chances to be selected than components B,C, and D.
A multiselect list would only provide a list in which a component appears once.

Gotcha!

Hi Didier!
First of all, thanks for a cool plugin for SketchUp.
Unfortunately, when I am adjusting the dials for altitude, steepness, scale, etc., the dials won't move!
It is sort of locked in their position.
What do you think is wrong?

Hi,
Several users reported such a weird behaviour of sliders.
I'm still wondering why this happens sometimes.
Please post here what your OS is, what web browser do you use, what version of Javascript is installed on your machine.

I have had terrible problems getting consistency with sliders in webdialogs - what slider are you using ? I use 'tigra' [no connection!] and that seems the simplest and robust...
