      Cool UI.

      One issue, if you close it you cannot open it again.

      Thanks for your reply... could you elaborate? I cant recreate it on my system... Are you on a mac? Sketchup 8? And how do you close it?

      Regards

        Sure.

        I opened the UI (from plugin menu) I started creating ivy but decided my ball (wanted it to grow over ball) was too big, so I exited by clicking the close X, resized the ball and tried to start Ivy again, it was checked in menu by no matter what I did the UI did not show again.

        If you see a toilet in your dreams do not use it.

          Same here,

          I do like the way this Ivy plugin is going. Nice interface, and I thank you are on the right track. Simple Ivy can be made, and i did a few testrenders with indigo and the results are nice. But for large walls covering Ivy you have to make several seperaty ivy bushes I think because of bugsplat when going over 150 branches. But thanxs for the hard work so far, Keep it up and this wil be a very welcome plugin 😄

              reported the same problem as Solo, this problem appears only when you try to put leaves on the vine

                Hi, i work on Mac and Sketchup reads the plugin but when i run the plugin the Ivy parameters window appears and immediately disappears, for this i can't use it.

                    This is heading towards being an epic plugin...similar to what 'Fur' achieved IMo.

                      Thanks for the thumbs up and critics everyone!

                      I have fixed solo's bug, will upload i fix later today 👍

                      @oxer: This is not good. I'm really struggling with mac support. Will fix as soon as i can! Any error messages in the console?

                      Thank you! Really hope its of use. When i get time i will release additional plugins based on the same principles as this one. Have working proof of concepts for Cloth, fur and a simple particle flow system, all which i hope to develop further in the long run.

                      Peace

                        Any chance of using existing components as leaves (preferable several different simultaneously) as a compliment to the "built in"?

                            yes, this would be a welcome adittion to the plugin. Like in the component spray plugin. The textures that come with the original Ivy Generator Script have a young and old leaf texture. These can be used to make components.

                              Nothing in the Ruby Console. I'll try to uninstall others plugins perhaps there is an incompatible plugin.
                              EDIT:
                              I have probed to uninstall all the plugins but it happen the same, the SketchupIvy window appears and disappears immediately.

                                hi Pierreden,

                                I finally got the dialog to stay open on mac, which then allows for console errors to show.

                                Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method face' for nil:NilClass> /Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/Plugins/SIvy/LiveIvy_tool.rb:45:in onLButtonDown'
                                /Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/Plugins/SIvy/LiveIvy_tool.rb:45
                                Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method valid?' for nil:NilClass> /Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/Plugins/SIvy/LiveIvy_tool.rb:73:in draw'

                                hope this helps

                                  Hi,
                                  Is it me or something went wrong: after finishing the ivy, I'm getting 2 black materials 'Ivy_stem' (no texture) and 'Ivy_leaf' (no texture too) and that is not used on leaves ?

                                        Thanks for the replies everyone!

                                        @pixero/thomthom/pugz: This is a brilliant idea. This wont be first priority, but will look into it after bug fixes and the mac issues 👍

                                        @oxero/driven: Thank you! Will look at it and hope to release a fix later today (saturday)

                                        @didier/dbalex/gaonirico: Looks like the textures isnt applied to the material... Are you using SU8 (im actually not sure if this is an requirement)? Mac Windows? Any console messages when you start a new model and then starts the plugin?

                                        Thank you for your patience and coops everyone!

                                        Peace

                                          I'm using SU8 Pro on Windows XP and 7. No console message at startup.
                                          Maybe there's a problem within the Pdn Materials class/module ?
