      I'm still stumped as to where to put the plug-ins on CityGen and StreetGen. To keep my SU7 from crashing, I had to make a City_Gen folder and nothing comes up. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

      Footnote: When I put the city_gen.rb file in Plug-ins, after clicking in to SU7, I get a crash leading to a bug repot. If only I can find out what the problem is.

        The plug-in is not really ready for use, but I made a Windows installer for the current version. See the Downloads tab:

        Link Preview Image
        Google Code Archive - Long-term storage for Google Code Project Hosting.

        favicon

        (code.google.com)

        Note: both the plugin and the installer should be considered experimental. Let me know if it works.

          The Core:

          citygen folder
          city_gen_loader.rb
          These goes into the plugins folder.

          Street Gen

          street_gen folder
          street_gen.rb
          These goes into plugins/citygen/modules/

          I don't know why any of these would be causing crashes. I've not experienced it myself.

            That's interesting. What did you use to create that?

                Thanks, thomthom et. al. I managed to get it running smoothly.

                What I did was searching through Google and there was an Alpha installer of CityGen, but it froze my SU -- but (d'uh on my part πŸ’š ), I "forgot" to put the city_gen loader.rb in the plugin, the CityGen in the Citygen folder and the streetGen in the modules your stated... To make a long story short - it was a real bumpy ride, no pun intended.

                Thanks guys for all your help. I'll keep playing with this feature.

                  Yes, I did do that, and what I did I installed it, but it was the old version, and I had to uninstall it. And used thomthom's zip files.

                  Thank you jim.

                      Hi Guys, I've been trying to make time to spend playing with this plugin so I loaded it and intend to give it a whirl ovber the weekend...
                      a few things:
                      I loaded it OK but not really sure how you are assigning color to lines: is that by material or layer?
                      Also, when I run the plugin the dialogue activates and goes blank. [see attached screen shot]

                      Looking forward to giving it a run!!
                      πŸ‘

                                No - not what browser you use, what Internet Explorer version is installed? SketchUp use the Internet Explorer engine for the windows we can create with the Ruby API. The Internet Explorer engine is used by many application in similar way.

                                      Thom, I have IE8 64bit loaded on my PC. Would this be conflicting with it?

                                        Sorry for the delay - I've been away in Dubai for a week.
                                        So you got IE8 or IE9 ? πŸ˜• ❓

                                          Thanks Thomas, I heard you were away...
                                          I uninstalled IE9 9 because it said that a Flash plugin was not yet available.... So I'm left with IE 8 [64bit]

                                          I tried it on my laptop [Windows XP, 32bit, IE 8] also and got this as a result of running Street Generator:


                                          StreetGen-Issue_on_XP.swf

                                            There's your problem. It's not installed correctly.
                                            CityGen and StreetGen is a very experimental project - it has some special extra installation requirements.

                                            See the installation notes of this thread in the first post.
