Quote - Works for me....but I dont understand the inputs?  It says max coverage, but keeps failing for invalid max distance?  Is it supposed to put the selected prop on another prop that you load, like a plane (first field)?  What is the min and max coverage?  (number of I assume means the number of props you are attempting to dup)

I just kept getting "invalid max distance"...never got it to do anything.  :(

In my code, Min/Max X and Z is used to constrain the random generation to a square area defined by those values. The Min values need to be lower than the Max values.

Everything is placed at a yTrans value of 0 so no plane is needed.

The code isn't clever, but has been used enough (by others) for me to know that it works :-)

I don't have Poser with me at the moment so I can't see what Phil has done, but knowing him I don't doubt that it's something cool :-)

Have fun ...
