[Plugin] Sketchup Ivy

[Lobster]

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'
/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/Plugins/SketchupIvy/tool.rb:71:in refresh' /Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/Plugins/SketchupIvy/tool.rb:71:in onLButtonDown'
/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/Plugins/SketchupIvy/tool.rb:15

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:

I have installed the last revision SketchupIvy_v.0.1.5 but the problem persists on Mac OSX

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
end

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.

Thank you!!! I couldnt for the love of anything find out whats wrong! I guess the activate method is fired on initialization. stupid me. Top Post attachment updated

On mac the plugin still does not work, now the Ruby Console appears in blank.

Thanks for sharing this plugin. 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.

Does not work on Mac

This seems like the beginning of something big... glad to have caught on early.. will definitely follow this post... all the best..!

[andre51]

Really like the plug-in and cant wait for further tweaking!

Thanks again!

i use fur with this plugin but i haven't nice leaf with fur
can you show your leaf setting with fur plugin plz

[andre51]

Hi Robert

I use a leaf component that came with the plants from Solo so I cannot share it here but you can find a lot of ivy on 3D Warehouse. Just load the component somewhere in the drawing and select "make from component" in fur plug-in - you'll see your component listed there. Hope this helps!

Cheers

@Mac Users: Really sorry about the plugin not working. I have absolutely no clue what the issue is, but I will borrow a mac this weekend and see what i can work out

@Andre: Thank you! Those renders looks great. What plugin do you use? Im currently looking at the distribution of leaves, and that lookes great

I dont know when the next update will be released, but heres a little teaser of whats to come.

cheers

Hi Guys:

I read all the comments and when select the plugin and I create the Ivy there is not setup so where is the setup? Can I change something or just grow and grow and that's it?

I place an Image of the plugin installed:

I missing the "Plugins/SketchupIvy/setup.rb" Is an awesome plugin already see the near future.... Thank you for the great design and comments.
