hi. tanx
yes. since this script loads external geometries i thought mzp could be best choice
in case of size parameter you should be cautious with very low numbers because it will make a very huge array of bulbs and make your scene super heavy. actually this number is a coefficient for bulbs scale and i prefer to work in cm

Hi ! Thank you for this nice

Hi ! Thank you for this nice script !
I have two questions :
- it can be run only by script > run script ( the .mzp ) ?
- could it be possible to have Size lower then 0.01 ?
( as use meters and the value is to high )
Cheers
