[Plugin] Compo Spray 1.4.2 Updated

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?

@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 !

Je n'ai toujours pas capté de quoi tu parles

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.
Regards,

TIG

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...

Hi Didier:

Any chance you could add a "Help" button to the toolbar which would open the PDF file?

Why not, good idea.

@unknownuser said:

@TIG: I'm using a custom slider programmed in js by K. Gilbert http://kegisiteweb.com/presentation.php. It's copyright free but rather old, that's maybe why it freezes under some specific configurations os/web browser/javascript version ?
It is in the JS folder in CompoSpray folder, and I've only added some trivial functions at the end of the file.

Anyone else getting the error "Cannot place component on selection" when it is just a basic ground mesh and assigning using the "point" method?

manwe

I've huge problem with using this plugin. Properties of this plugins is quite high & I've wide screen display so I can't reach the accept button...

Didier Bur

Hi,
@mra: check your altitudes settings in the dialog, possibly a bug in there
or did you select anything that isn't face(s) ?

@manwe: click on the Settings icon and tell the script to use sliders in the Style dialog list.

Hope this helps,

Hi,

I'm having some trouble with this tool not covering the selected face completely. It works on most but there are a handful of faces on this triangulated surface that clump my grass proxy together. I am pre-selecting the face and using the "selected faces" option.
Any ideas?

Didier Bur

Hi,
@rpinkham: maybe do you have some other faces hidden ?

rpinkham

Didier,
Thanks for the reply. There is no hidden geometry. It happens in a few locations in this larger scale site model...

Didier Bur

Are some faces reversed ? (apparently not on your screenshot, but still searching for a cause...)
