      Is there a way to change the parameters of the number of segments in the stems? To be honest, I don't think it's necessary to be using hexagonal stems metres off the ground. You could probably start with a square cross section and quickly move to triangular(as in earlier releases) without any visible difference...especially as most stems will be hidden behind leaves.
      This plugin is looking really good. 👍

        It looks like an awesome Plugin, unfortunately as previously mentioned it's not working on Mac Sketchup 8.
        Hope you resolve it as it would be fantastic to use on an upcoming project.

          Hi Justin,

          it does work on Mac with SU version 8, but I need to load it after startup from ruby console, or with as_pluginloader.rb.

          to use with either method of loading, I would suggest the following-

          go to LiveIvy.rb (in your plugins folder) >> right click and color it green >> drag it into LiveIvy Folder >> start SU >> open Ruby Console >> type load "LiveIvy/LiveIvy.rb" hit return >> draw or select a surface/shape/group... >> last item in plugins menu should be Ivy.

          or use plugin loader to do the same, navigate to then select the green file... that's why I color it...

          the standard image files can be improved by editing the .skp's in the folder, and I haven't got my head around all the settings yet.

          but they do work.

          john

                    Hi all,

                    Is posted before that i could get either of the plugin and its revisions to work on a mac. So tonight itried on my (pc) laptop using su6 and su7. And... Some error as on the mac! Sorry cant type the complete code (commenting in my bb, sorry) its that error about birth_stem line 236 , something about 'birth' line 223 and so on. I tried all the tricks i saw here in this post. But i dont have su8 installed yet on my pc so i got one option left. Everything runs untill the shift+click... And that the error starts with TypeError: reference to deleted group .....

                    Hope some can resolve this one on both my machines. Ps on the mac i do have su6,7 and 8 running

                      Are you sure you have installed all of the zipped files correctly ?
                      When you extract files for a zip you must keep them in their respective subfolders...
                      Usually there's only one or two .rb files that go directly into the Plugins folder... all other related files stay inside their subfolder [or even subfolders within that]
                      It you have inadvertently put some files into the Plugins folder that ought to be inside a subfolder, then they can auto-load and cause issues; so reinstall all of the tool's files as outlined above. Then recheck the Plugins folder and remove any files you find in it that should actually be in the subfolder[s]... Restart Sketchup and see if it works now... 🤓

                        Hi Rombout, I use mac too and for me only works the 0.6 version, the Keys on Mac:
                        Cmd+Click : Make the ivy grow towards the mouse position.
                        Alt+Click : Grow Ivy leafs.
                        SHIFT+Click : Finish the Ivy.
                        Key 'i' : Start over.

                        The line 68 of Lively_tool.rb file is different for Pc and Mac.
                        For Pc: if key == 73 #i
                        For Mac: if key == 105 #i
                        This is the version works for me on Mac

                        Sketchup Ivy version works on Mac

                        Say me if this version works for you or not.

                          still doesnt do any thing on the mac using this trick

                          > load "LiveIvy/LiveIvy.rb"
                          /Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/Plugins/LiveIvy/LiveIvy_tool.rb;284; warning; parenthesize argument(s) for future version
                          true
                          

                          here the ruby output

                            true

                            Hi,

                            It has worked, the TRUE means it works, the other bits just a warning about syntax...

                            So, to prove it works,

                            open SU >> open Components >> open Materials [select in Model view]>> open Ruby Console >> type load "LiveIvy/LiveIvy.rb"

                            you should see the components appear and the materials as well.

                            now draw a rectangle, then go to Plugins Menu and the LAST item should be SketchupIvy, click it and the WebDialog will appear.

                            let me know if it all works, or how far you can get... if you get this far there's one other trick to make it better on mac.

                            john

                                  yes. the same thing happens to me. i've done all you said but in the end it's always the same thing, there's only this pointer with a blue cirlce but when i left-click, shift-click, alt-click, etc... it doesnt' do anything.

                                  It seems to be a very useful plugin!!! if only i could use it 😞

                                    im having that issue also here, but you can try to use ver 0.54 at least that still could work at mine 😉

                                    regards,

                                    still so much to learn..

                                      It's well worth pursuing,

                                      some things to check...

                                      do the .skp files in the LiveIvy/Textures folder open on there own?

                                      have you removed all the other versions with different names?

                                      what version of osx are you on?

                                      john

                                            I got it working on the mac by separate loading,

                                            If you do a dif on the two files you can swop things over one at a time and see when it breaks,

                                            one thing to play with is commenting out the mac bit line 71 if key == 73 #|| key == 105 # i
