      The Numeric, Float and String class has some nice methods that let you deal with units in the user's locale and in the current model's units.

      Hi, Thomas.
      Thanks ! I'm searching for that method.

        Basically:

        Ensure the units you use are Length objects. Length.to_s will output a unit in the user's locale and model settings. This is useful when presenting units in the UI, like for inputboxes etc.

        Then you have String.to_l, which is useful to convert user input into Length. If a user types "100mm" it then .to_l will convert that into the appropriate Length. (Length is always in SU's internal units: inches)

        "100m".to_l
        becomes:
        3937.00787401575

        If the user has mm set as the model units, then "100" (without any unit indication) is assumed to be in mm and the result is:
        "100".to_l 3.93700787401575

        same thing as if the user had typed "100mm"
        "100mm".to_l 3.93700787401575

          Hello every body,

          I found this plugin today. It look amazing. Ihave made the grass but i don't know why it isn't render in Vray ? I'm sure it's a specific option i have to check but i don't found it.

          I use Skectchup pro 7.1.6, Vray for sketchup 01.05.30, and Fur Plugin 1.3.

          I can send you a screenshot or a file if you need.

          Thanks you for your help ๐Ÿ˜„

              This is due to a Sketchup bug and groups. The groups will render when you reopen the model.
              The latest VfSU does not suffer from this SU bug.

                Very handy.
                Am I missing something in the settings, though? It appears to be growing from the opposite side of the selected face and I can't figure out how to change that. Not too big a deal to select the opposite side from where it needs to go, but maybe there's an easier way?

                  Hi Justin,

                  Don't you have back faces where you want to grow the fur? Try to right click > Reverse faces and grow it again.

                        Like so many others, I'm having a blast with this new toy...

                        @ tak2hata:
                        Would it be possible to add an option, where you can select that components don't intersect with each other...??

                            Hi,
                            I just update the v1.2 to the new 1.3c with the nice new features.

                            But...
                            I'm french and use SU on a french vista system. In french we use the comma (,) for decimal separation.
                            In default setup, all numbers are in french (0,0cm,0,0cm,5,0cm) and of course it read like a 0,0,0 (with an unread 0,5,0 after).
                            If I use a period (0.0cm,0.0cm,5.0cm) the plugin dont work ๐Ÿ˜ž

                            Why all the world dont use the same way to measure and write numbers ??? ๐Ÿ˜‰

                              Try substituting the comma (,) as the list separator with a semi-colon (;)... so in UK/US 1,2.3,4.5 >> 1;2,3;4,5 in FR.
                              Or change you regional settings !
                              Why can't everyone use a '.' as a "decimal-point" ? - after all it is not a "decimal-comma" - this would free up the ',' comma to be used as a list separator - it's prime function in grammar - and then we could leave the poor old ";" alone !

                                Got no idea, here in the states we still use the imperial system or as we call it 'American standard' and we drive on the wrong side of the road according to y'all. ๐Ÿ’š

                                  In most European countries, we drive in the right (in the sense opposite to left) side of the road...
                                  Only in UK in Europe (and I believe on Cypres too) they drive in the left side... ๐Ÿ˜‰

                                    @tak2hata: could you keep the filename free from the version number? That way it's easier to update by just dragging the file into the plugins folder overriding the old.

                                      That generally just causes troubles elsewhere. I've tried it. Very awkward.

                                        Did you enter cm into the direction and force vectors?
                                        They should not have length indications. Vectors are just direction indicators.

                                          Can you use the period in the SU standard value input ? I cant ! I must use the comma and the semi-colon as separator (i.e. 10,5;22,4 for a rectangle).

                                          No, cm is in the default setting.
                                          If it's 0cm it's ok, but if it's 0 cm (with space) it dont work.

                                          OK, I know why I have the unit after value, because it's a SU setting in the Model info : "Display units format". Uncheck it, disable the cm.
                                          ... And if I set the Precision (in Model info -> Units) to 0 instead 0,0 all it's ok in the Fur setting windows, I have 0,0,5 (but setting 0cm for Precision or mm for Units in it's not ok for my way of work ๐Ÿ˜‰)

                                            Would it be possible to add an option, where you can select that components don't intersect with each other...??

                                            That's very difficult for me.I will challenge future.Please wait without expecting it. ๐Ÿ˜’

                                            I'm french and use SU on a french vista system. In french we use the comma (,) for decimal separation
                                            If it's 0cm it's ok, but if it's 0 cm (with space) it dont work.

                                            Indeed,I learnt it for the first time. I will think about some measures for that problem.

                                            could you keep the filename free from the version number? That way it's easier to update by just dragging the file into the plugins folder overriding the old.

                                            Thanks.That's right! I will keep the filename. ๐Ÿ˜‰
