      This solved my problem with Vista32, SU7, Win32API.so, and certain plugins.
      Re: Some plugins don't work SU 7. Organizer.rb at fault?
      by L. Banasky on Thu Dec 11, 2008 6:06 am

      CadalogBeamTool.rb is now working. I did a side by side comparison of the files in the main program folder of SU6 and SU7, and moved the missing files from SU6 to SU7 one by one. The file that is required by SU7 that is missing is msvcr71.dll. I tried to enclose the file, but .dll's are not allowed.
      Thanks again for all your help,
      Larry

          Hi, this could be a really stupid question, but where are the tree images saved?. I originally found them here

          : C:\Users\chris\appdata\Local\Temp\RPS_TreeMaker_Images

          but now it doesnt seem to be saving any new tree images their.

          thanks for your help and thanks for a great program.

            After placing the tree in SketchUp, load the SketchUp Materials Window, select 'In Model', select the image of the tree, and then select the 'Browse' button to the right of the tree name. It will start browsing in the same folder as the image.

            The images to not stay there long. However, to the right of the browse button (in SU 7) there is an "Edit Image" button which will load the image from the material itself into an editor - and then you can save the image somewhere.

                After creating a tree and placing it in SketchUp, click Window/Materials.

                tree-texture1.jpg

                When the SketchUp Material Window comes up;

                • select the "In Model" icon
                • select the material for the tree, and
                • select the Edit tab

                tree-texture2.jpg

                From the Edit tab:

                Select the "Edit texture in an external editor" icon, which will load a photo or image editor program.

                In the image editor, go to File/Save As.

                In the Save As dialog, use the drop down to the right of the folder name to get the complete path of the folder.

                    (off topic) I spent some time in Itajuba (em Minas Gerais) and Campos do Jordao and there are lots of the parana arucaria there. Absoultely some of the most amazing trees I've ever seen! They are HUGE. Good request Aces,

                      I pass this on to Roy, who wrote RpTreeMaker, and see if he has any ideas.

                      Can you get something similar by overlapping two trees - one for the top branches, and one for the lower branches?

                        Al,

                        If you look at the images below there is something weird happening around the edges of the trees/shrubs. Is this because I chose the medium quality processing?

                          This is caused by the partial transparency at the edge of the tree image.

                          I will take a look at it.

                          Higher resolution images will make it less noticeable, but will not eliminate it.

                                Remove the edges around the trees by setting transparency quality to nicer under styles>edit>faces.

                                          Glad you found it useful. I have always believed this was common knowledge. I noticed the same problem way back when this plugin was released but I did not see it mentioned anywhere, so I thought there must be something I am doing wrong. After some googling I found this setting mentioned somewhere on the web.

                                            Hello Everybody, hello Al

                                            I am new in Sketchucation...
                                            I am a long time user of sketchup since v2 from france but never tried ruby plug before. But since I red Daniel Tal book Google sketchup for Site Design I am very in trying plug in where I learned about amazing and powerfull Fred tools and more. I went to Sketchucation to download extensions plug in, I would to thank Gaius to help me to register.

                                            I loaded fractal Tree Maker it is a very nice and useful tools. For me it works on my laptop a Dell Inspirion 1720 with vista, but I did not succeed to make it work on my old desktop a gateway GT 5220 with XP pro. Here the message.
                                            Error Loading File RpTreeMaker_loader.rb
