CHRI is a SketshUp specialist! ;)
ELse you can do that inside MOI :)
Populate your volume with Tangent cubes ...it's not a big deal!
Then draw a sphere at each center box!
script: /* Attribute a point at each center box's object selected*/ var objs = moi.geometryDatabase.getSelectedObjects(); for ( var i = 0; i < objs.length; ++i ) { var obj = objs.item(i); var pt = obj.getBoundingBox().center; var ptfactory = moi.command.createFactory( 'point' ); ptfactory.setInput( 0, pt ); ptfactory.commit(); }

This one move an object(s) to points yet drawn
Must be existing something for attribute automatically an object to all points selected
but don't remember it for the moment! :(
Must be this one : copy to points :)
http://kyticka.webzdarma.cz/3d/moi/#CopyToPoints
So copy the 2 files inside the folder commands
and make a shortcut "copytopoints" or press Tab and write Copytopoints...or COpyToPoints etc...
any letters you want except spaces
Have fun!

Damned seems there is a SyntaxError: Expected token ')' somewhere in this
???
script: /* Attribute a point at each center box's object selected*/ var objs = moi.geometryDatabase.getSelectedObjects(); for ( var i = 0; i < objs.length; ++i ) { var obj = objs.item(i); var pt = obj.getBoundingBox().center; var ptfactory = moi.command.createFactory( 'point' ); ptfactory.setInput( 0, pt ); ptfactory.commit(); }
this is the good one!!! (don't know where is the difference but... :)
script: /* Place a point at each selected object's bounding center */ var objs = moi.geometryDatabase.getSelectedObjects(); for ( var i = 0; i < objs.length; ++i ) { var obj = objs.item(i); var pt = obj.getBoundingBox().center; var ptfactory = moi.command.createFactory( 'point' ); ptfactory.setInput( 0, pt ); ptfactory.commit(); }

You can also draw 2 Circles (constant radius) in a view
then now same radius circle but now Tangent !
Copy rotate at any moment in another view!for the third and upper...
At the end no problem to remplace all by spheres with the plugins seen above!
Like this you can simulate any natural falling bubbles! :)

Thank you all for the input. It is so nice to be able to ask questions on a CAD forum and get so much help.
From: Frenchy Pilou (PILOU)
Of course the last trick is some manual and not so automatic! :)
And at the start draw the second circle vertically above the first one
for have a good start of propagation...

Either script works fine for placing a point. (no syntax error)

Yep that is the more easy for the moment! :)
If there are different sizes of spheres just take different color for each size!
(so for each familly of points...maybe successive imports... )
How is done the import from SketchUp ?
SVG, OBJ, DXF ... ?
From: Don (DON_CHEKE)
I just wanted to say thanks again. I did end up doing it in SolidWorks. Attached is a very low res animation.
