      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!!

                              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:

                                          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.

                                            Thanks Thomas!! Neat little tool.... πŸ‘

                                            One thing: When you 'Define Types', the New / Edit / Delete functions do not seem to provide any options. [see attached]

                                            Questions:

                                            1. How does color get assigned to street types?
                                            2. The resulting road system creates an interpolating line which is hidden. Is there a way to be able to create the face as a whole so if you need to pushpull you only need to select on face...?

                                            An idea:

                                            1. Is there a way to include merging lanes such as acceleration and deceleration lanes? Maybe byway of color....? Break a line where the lane widens to two and color differently.....

                                            Anyhow, thanks for helping out getting it loaded. πŸŽ‰ I've been asked to collaborate on an Urban Renewal Proposal so I hope to give this a try for it!

                                            Cheers,
