      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

      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 πŸ˜‰

                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?

                        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

                              Those of you with problems: can you post more info to what isn't working. "Not working" is like going to the doctor saying "I'm ill, fix me."

                              Please be specific by what isn't working (lack of menus, errors, or unexpected behaviour). Also keep the Ruby Console open so you can see if any error messages appear.
                              System information such as OS version and exact SketchUp version also helps.

                                Current problem on ver 0.6.3 on SU 8 at mine:

                                1. When i press alt + click, sometime ivy doesn't follow the direction i clicked.
                                2. Some time it doesn't react as it is supposed to be when i press ctrl + click (to grow leaves)
                                3. And the most problem.. it just won't finished when i press shift + click, so it never generated the ivy. 😞

                                but when i used ver 0.5.4, it's all work perfectly.. πŸ˜„

                                  In the script's line #20 [..branch] and line #244 [..tool] [and probably other lines too πŸ˜• ] there is some arithmetic where something that's 'nil' is subtracted from something else and so it returns an error...
                                  Either put these parts into begin...rescue...end traps so the error won't trip up the script OR better test if the variable is NOT 'nil' and setting it to say 0 if +or- or 1 if *or/ - e.g. xxx=0 if not xxx
                                  The tools could be trapped to return at least something 1-seed.params[:branch][:spread] will fail if NOT seed.params[:branch][:spread] (i.e. it's nil)...
                                  LiveIvy.seed is defined as @@seed which in turn is defined as ' self' πŸ˜•
                                  which in turn has params which have :branch and :spread... BUT somewhere some of these aren't getting set to 0 [or 1 ?] as a safety net ??

                                        Those of you with problems: can you post more info to what isn't working. "Not working" is like going to the doctor saying "I'm ill, fix me."

                                        Please be specific by what isn't working (lack of menus, errors, or unexpected behaviour). Also keep the Ruby Console open so you can see if any error messages appear.
                                        System information such as OS version and exact SketchUp version also helps.

                                        Current problem on ver 0.6.3 on SU 8 at mine:

                                        1. When i press alt + click, sometime ivy doesn't follow the direction i clicked.
                                        2. Some time it doesn't react as it is supposed to be when i press ctrl + click (to grow leaves)
                                        3. And the most problem.. it just won't finished when i press shift + click, so it never generated the ivy. 😞

                                        but when i used ver 0.5.4, it's all work perfectly.. πŸ˜„

                                        I have the same problems as Vidy.

                                        • It doesnt branch. Just one stem.
                                        • Doesn't finish. 😞
                                          Windows 7 64bit. SU 8.

                                        Yep, I have the same problems too, just like i/we already reported since v0.6.2

                                        Windows 7 64bit, SU8.0.4811 pro

                                            O.K. This is embarrassing. πŸ˜’

                                            How do I open the .rar file? πŸ˜• Do I just drop it in my plugins folder or do I need to do anything else such as extracting it somehow. I downloaded it right to my plugins folder and it doesn't seem to be showing up.
