      Well, you know how much I know about Ruby. Still, if I change the units to Decimal>Millimeters, the plugin works. If I change it to Fractional, it doesn't.

      BUT the error you published isn't caused by the units change ?
      Do you get any other errors...
      The way it's coded is quite convoluted but I see no issues with fractional sizes as these are [probably?] returned as lengths anyway ?

          @Oxer: plugins should not go in your User folder. They should be under the root folder.
          See this page for description: http://code.google.com/apis/sketchup/docs/loading.html

            Oxer - the tool.rb file is to go into the Ivy subfolder, NOT into Plugins directly!

              TIG, I shut down SketchUp and restarted it. It doesn't give any errors this time running in Fractional so I don't know why changing units affected the results. I didn't get any other error messages before. It still doesn't create branching and the red lines don't show up. Perhaps the author will refine the plugin further and I'll give it a try then. I've got too much other stuff to do for the moment.

                  Hi,

                  Replaced the tool as suggested,

                  Ruby Window output on activating plug in is

                  Error: #<ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (0 for 1)>
                  /Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/Plugins/SketchupIvy/tool.rb:87:in activate' /Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/Plugins/SketchupIvy/tool.rb:87:in select_tool'
                  /Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/Plugins/SketchupIvy/tool.rb:87

                  When clicking to grow it is this

                  /Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/Plugins/SketchupIvy/tool.rb:15:in add' /Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/Plugins/SketchupIvy/tool.rb:15:in getExtents'

                      Thomthom, i have changed the plugin to the root /Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp [n/SketchUp/plugins] (generally i haven't problems with the plugins if i put them in the other root) and i replaced the tool.rb in the Ivy subfolder, but the plugin don't works, this is the new message in the Ruby Console:

                                The Tool class activate doesn't have arguments ( initialize can)

                                def activate(view)
                                  puts view
                                end
                                

                                line#88 et al is superfluous and could be omitted in its entirety ? Why give it 'view' simply to print to the Console?
                                It could be

                                def activate
                                  puts Sketchup.active_model.active_view

                                with little use??

                                  Hi Robert111

                                  Just convert the lines to tubes, create an ivy leaf component and use the fur plugin - you wil need a bit of trail and error but it works ok.

                                  Regards

                                        Thanks for sharing this plugin. πŸ˜„ I have been waiting a while to see someone implement the ivy generator with SketchUp.
                                        Is it supposed to work well with any units? If my units are inches, it seems to work ok. But if they are meters, not so much. 😞
