      Z Is not obvious, with it your model goes in the 3D space up & down! πŸ˜‰
      there is a little help text inside the code plug! Open it πŸ˜‰

      @unknownuser said:

      When I rotate a vertical ['Z' plane] object around what i think is the RED direction it actually rotates it around the GREEN...['Y']

      It's around the BLUE AXIS πŸ˜‰

      Order gives you the natural order of transformations πŸ˜‰

      About the first problem seems you can't oblige to have 80% for have perfect fit if you don't know the other X,Y,Z measures!
      it's depending of the measure of the first start volume!
      See my example above! I have 50% for this one (of course with my start measures volume)

      My regulates and don't forget the Growth point position (see image above)
      nb copy 3
      X spacing = 0
      Y spacing = 0
      Z spacing = 100 cm
      Scaling = Yes

      Xspacing scaling = 1
      Yspacing scaling = 1
      Zspacing scaling = 0.5

      Xcopy scaling = 0.5
      Ycopy scaling = 0.5
      Zcopy scaling = 0.5

      (all exponential+ by default)

      Move Scale Rotate order (or Move Rotate Scale as the is no rotation in this one)

        Thanks Pilou,
        I believe Z is always vertical [blue axis in SU]. If the ground plane is the ground then it makes sence to me that Z [blue axis is vertical....

        See the simple Palm tree attached.
        GrowTest01.png
        Say I want to rotate copy and move the palm fron as noted on the attached image. Still getting weird outcomes when I try to do so...

        thanks in advance.

            No, Pilou. As a Palm fron grows [pardon the pun], it faces the sky with it's flat side facing up. Sometimes, slightly rotated but for the purpose of the exersice, lets keep it simple....
            This is what i mean.
            GrowTest02.png
            Then copy and rotate various frons to thicken up the folage...GrowTest03.png
            Then do a little 'Fredo' bending....
            GrowTest04.png

            So thats what i want to do with grow, however I just did this example manually...
            Skippy attached FYI...
            Thanks for your help with this idea, Pilou, much appreciated!! πŸ‘

                        But in fact all gives cool results just try different little variations

                          Thanks Pilou, I think I am on the right track now. I will post some updates later.

                            Ok, I have loaded the new 2.1 version...

                            Did a little axis directions text [see attached.] It eems that the X axis directions are back to front. I would have thought that the postive directions would have been forward and the negative direction would be backwards....
                            Grow_-_AxisDirections1.png
                            Also, rotations around the Z axis are anti-clockwise. I thought it makes sense to have postive rotations clockwise and negative rotations anticlockwise.... [see also attached]

                            TIG, is there any reason for this?

                            Eitherway, I think i have it worked out. πŸ‘

                                    It'd be best if it was in a thread by itself and not buried inside another thread.

                                        That would be good.
                                        Didier and Fredo had/has some old versions laying around as well. I noticed the last week several users seemed to have been downloading them instead of the new versions - despite noticed about newer versions. So I wanted to do a sweep of the plugin section and remove old versions and lock old obsolete threads. With the permission of the authors - in case they deliberately left them out there for legacy reasons.

                                          Grow.rb is a pretty old thing - probably predates the Forum !
                                          It's available from Didier's Depot and if you search by author [TIG] and 'Grow' there are several threads about it where I uploaded a version for convenience, there are also examples in some threads...
