      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.

      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.

                        Thank you kindly for your persistence.

                          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...
