[Plugin] Make Fur v.2.1.0(20140323)

Gaieus · 6 Jun 2010, 08:29

Yes, I have been running 7 (7.1.6859) **PRO**for some time now. The dwg-import option disappeared after installing it...

@frederik said:

I'm sure the install was made properly, however, the dwg/dxf import has been excluded from ver. 7.1 and onwards...

That would only be the free version Kim. The pro still has the "native" import option.

As you are not supposed to be able to install the free version on top of the pro, there can indeed be some problem.

However we are going off-topic here so Thomas, after you see my post here, I will split these posts and move the new topic created this way to the SketchUp Discussions > Bug reports subforum.

However you could try to reinstall your SU but really make sure to download the Pro version (again) to install it. Also, for the Mac version there was also a maintenance release after the main release of 7.1. A couple of fixes were made there so best is to go for sure...

TX for the great plugin, I love the idea of the crowedmaker.
But under OSX it does not work, the dialog panel is empty for the crowed option.

can someone tell me how i do this on a mac?
i downloaded the file and updated my version of sketchup. the file only shows up in my downloads and i can't open it with sketchup. i also enabled my plugins menu on sketchup and the only option that shows up is a "cost" option. How do i do this?

This file is compressed by zip.
First, You should extract this file with folder.
It includes
--fur_en.rb
--fur_en(folder include icon images)
and copy created files to plugins folder.
Read here.

TX Tak,
hope you find the time to look into the blanc dialog for crowds.
I love your idea to specialise the furmaker for crowds

That is due to some oddness in Geom::Transformation.scaling which I mentioned earlier.
http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=28092&p=248300#p248300

But tak2hata said later he's swapped to use .scaling(a,a,a) isntead of .scaling(a) - so that should have taken care of it. Unless there is something else that also creates this scenario.

Oli: are you using the latest version?

thomthom · 10 Jun 2010, 11:58

what happened to Oli's post..?

You do not really need to open it just drop into the plugins folder in your SU application.

Otherwise rb files are text files and should be opened with some simple text editor (never with some word processor!).

McGyver · 18 Jun 2010, 16:52

I just tried this out on my G5(Power PC) Mac using SU 6 free version... it works like a charm! I look forward to experimenting with this! Awesome job! Thank you!!!

Ninjamaster1470 · 19 Jun 2010, 02:09

I know this will sound really dumb, but it appears that i set the plugin RB (whatever) file to google sketchup program so that when ever i click it, it opens on sketchup instead on.........um.....what it's supposed to open on--btw, what is the program its on?

Help! do u know how to fix?

Update: I moved it but its still a SU app instead of the supposed text doc.

Hi. I've been playing around with this and have found some good uses for this plugin. The one thing I'm not getting is, which setting (if any) controls the number of (leafs, blades of grass, etc.) that are generated... I've been trying to get smaller number of "blades per inch" but I'm not really noticing much of a difference. I figured it would be Density(Num/m2) and or MaxNumber(/face)... I went as low as 10 on a 4 ft x 4 ft square and I really can't tell the difference between these set at 200...
Any suggestions or help in this matter is greatly appreciated.

EDIT- Never mind, I figured it out... I was using sandbox and the faces(grids) were too small... works fine otherwise.

tak2hata · 24 Jun 2010, 03:59

4 ft x 4ft = 16 ft.sq
16 * 10(num/m2) = 160.
16 * 200(num/m2) = 3200.
If you keeping MaxNumber(/face) as 200,then It makes 200 fur on each faces.
16 x200 = 3200 changes to 200.
So you should glow MaxNumber(/face) like 4000.

Thanks.
