          Try the new file (0.5.2) 👍

                  It seems like Sketchup cant find the correct material, which is "Ivyleaf_2" (it looks for "Ivyleaf_21"), or that vray looks for the wrong one. Does this happen every time you make an ivy, or does it happen on special actions? Cant recreate this myself. After completely uninstaling and reinstaling the plugin, i dont get any errors with sketchup nor with vray

                    It uninstalled and installed and did not give errors with the material. In the image of the left all parameters are in 1 , in the image of the right all parameters are in 50. There is not significant changes in both cases... I am sorry if do not speak well the english language ^_^

                          That is a V-Ray for SketchUp error. What version do you have installed?

                            Thanks for this one Pierreden. 👍 I've tried the very first version and it worked, but now i get this when i start the plugin:

                            Error; #<RuntimeError; Can't insert empty component.>
                            C;/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 7/Plugins/LiveIvy/LiveIvy_tool.rb;305;in `load'

                            Maybe SU 8 is required?

                              I don't know if its just me or some other thea user, probably solo can confirm... I get more leaves in thea than the ones visible in sketchup.. this may be a sketchup to thea issue, maybe not.. just thought of sharing it here.

                                I've uploaded a *Rar file of the sketchup file of the above image. In case anyone wants to look into it... will try and see if its a one off incident or happens again...

                                great plugin by the way!! 😄

                                *EDIT: definitely something going on here... the problem persits.. leaves are scattering around in thea. Its probably due to the way the pivot points might be getting relocated or twisted somehow in the sketchup to thea interface or maybe something totally unrelated..

                                  I also got the
                                  Error: #<RuntimeError: Can't insert empty component.>

                                  Figured out the texture components are in SU8 format, so I converted them to SU7 and it al works fine.

                                    I got the same problem in Thea as described above.

                                    @unknownuser said:

                                    Will now use components with "ivyleaf" in the name as leafs. 3 included by default.

                                    May I suggest an option where you select what components should be used as leaves instead.
                                    How is your solution working if you want to use different leaves for different "ivys"?

                                      @ Pixero: the leaves are materials applied to rectangular components. I believe you can select a new material (your leaf) and change it in one component (will change in all). But it might have limitations as to the position of the texture of the leaves. (or not)

                                      how did you go about solving the thea issue?

                                        Thea users: uncheck 'export as components' before exporting.

                                        Change the leaves in thea, just copy the one you like and paste it in the material slot of the one you want to replace.

                                            There is no need for the component to be rectangular, theres no limitations at all. All you need to think about is that the component axis is where the leaf attaches to the stem, and that the green axis (y) is the depth, x is the width and z is the height/thickness of the leaf.

                                            http://i.imgur.com/IG8cV.jpg

                                            As i said, beyond this there is no rules or requirements, (unless i forgot about something essential?). The easiest way to make a new leaf is to insert a old leaf component, click "make unique" and alter it as you like

                                            Regarding leaf selection, i guess a less primitive method will come in a future release, but for now you'll have to delete the leafs you dont want on the ivy.... Sorry about that. (Uploaded version 0.5.3 which makes it so that the leaf components are only loaded on startup, not every time the SketchupIvy tool is activated. The components can be found in the "Plugins/LiveIvy/Textures/" folder)

                                            Peace
