Generates random books for a bookshelf.

Source the script and start the interface with toi_bookshelfGenerator();

The setting in the interface are more or less self-explanatory. Use the flip option if the books are on the wrong side. In relative mode, first select the edge to place the books on, and a second edge to determine the height. Books are created for every selected pair. In absolute mode, books are created on every selected edge.

All books are grouped together per shelf.

Note that this script may change your preferences to enable selection order tracking.

  Could you mail us the (part of the) scene your working with, so i can run some tests? Please also include the Maya version you're using.

  Thanks for posting, looks like a cool script but I seem to have run into an error.
  
  If I draw a plane, then select two edges - I press "Generate Books" but there is no error message or such in the script editor. Nothing happens.
