          When you extract the files/folders from SketchupIvy.0.6.3.beta.rar you should have a file called LiveIvy.rb and a folder called LiveIvy [which contains several files and sub-folders].
          Put the LiveIvy.rb file and the LiveIvy folder into the Plugins folder.
          Do NOT move files from the LiveIvy sub-folder into the Plugins folder - if you have done that, then move them - it will probably break otherwise.
          This is what should be in this LiveIvy sub-folder... Capture.PNG IT: Quando si estraggono i file/cartelle da SketchupIvy.0.6.3.beta.rar si dovrebbe avere un file chiamato LiveIvy.rb e una cartella chiamata LiveIvy [che contiene diversi file e sottocartelle].
          Inserire il file LiveIvy.rb e la cartella LiveIvy nella cartella Plugins.
          NON spostare i file dal LiveIvy sottocartella nella cartella Plugins - se avete fatto questo, poi spostarli - sarà probabilmente rompere il contrario.
          Questo è ciò che dovrebbe essere in questo LiveIvy sottocartella...

              Have you done ALL of the fixes that I suggested?
              The error message is incomplete.
              Can you post the full message...
              Hai fatto TUTTE le correzioni che ho suggerito?
              Il messaggio di errore è incompleto.
              Puoi inviare il messaggio completo...

              It may be that that you have to enter values into all dialog boxes - even if '0'...
              Può essere che che è necessario inserire i valori in tutte le finestre di dialogo - anche se '0'...

                yes, I followed your instructions. The attached images show the folders located.
                The error message comes up when the program starts.
                Also, when I start the script, the window does not shows me any command.

                  Please open the file LiveIvy.rb with 'Notepad.exe' and see what it says.
                  It should have these lines

                  require "LiveIvy/LiveVector_core"
                  require "LiveIvy/LiveIvy_branch"
                  require "LiveIvy/LiveIvy_node"
                  require "LiveIvy/LiveIvy_leaf"
                  require "LiveIvy/LiveIvy_tool"
                  

                  If not the the file is corrupted 😕
                  Si prega di aprire il file LiveIvy.rb con 'Notepad.exe' e vedere cosa dice.... Dovrebbe avere queste linee...
                  Se non il il file è danneggiato

                  You could type/copy+paste the five ' require...' lines into the Ruby Console in turn and see if the tool then works.
                  Si potrebbe digitare/copia+incolla il cinque ' require...' linee in Console Ruby, a sua volta e vedere se lo strumento funziona allora.

                        Hi,

                        A nice tool, it works beautifully, thanks. What I still do not understand is, how can you change the twigs and leaves. Would someone kindly explain this for example with the Wisteria Bloom from Adam (Eartmover). Thanks in advance.

                          Sorry guys, when I start SketchUp with the plugin correctly installed I get an error message: "Error Loading File LiveIvy.rb Can't insert empty component." Then, sketchup starts with no problems but the plugin works oddly: multiple clicks often do not produce an incremental growth, and similar...

                          How can I fix this? Sorry to bother...

                            In the Textures subfolder within the Plugins folder you should have various files like this Capture.PNG
                            Check that the .skp files exist and that they each contain something!

                              Mmf - not working on Mac Lion with SU8...

                              I have the latest version of SU Ivy, the files are in the right place, the menu is there, the dialog pops up and works fine.
                              It's the clicking and drawing that doesn't seem to be working.

                                Are there any error messages in Ruby Console as you do this ? 😕

                                  Hi,

                                  I have exchanged the ivy files through the Wisteria files. The generation of Wisteria leaves works, but in the bush still appears ivy leaves. What do i wrong? I am grateful for any information.

                                    TIG - there is no output at all in the Ruby console.

                                    This is how my installation looks:-

                                    \Library\Application Support\Google SketchUp 8\SketchUp\plugins\LiveIvy.rb

                                    \Library\Application Support\Google SketchUp 8\SketchUp\plugins\LiveIvy\gui
                                    \Library\Application Support\Google SketchUp 8\SketchUp\plugins\LiveIvy\Textures
                                    \Library\Application Support\Google SketchUp 8\SketchUp\plugins\LiveIvy\LiveIvy_branch.rb
                                    \Library\Application Support\Google SketchUp 8\SketchUp\plugins\LiveIvy\LiveIvy_leaf.rb
                                    \Library\Application Support\Google SketchUp 8\SketchUp\plugins\LiveIvy\LiveIvy_node.rb
                                    \Library\Application Support\Google SketchUp 8\SketchUp\plugins\LiveIvy\LiveIvy_tool.rb
                                    \Library\Application Support\Google SketchUp 8\SketchUp\plugins\LiveIvy\LiveVector_core.rb

                                    The GUI works, but the growing ivy doesn't. When I start to grow the ivy, I have the usual snap cursor. Is this what I'm supposed to see? Does this have a special cursor or some kind of visual indicator as to where to start the growth from?

                                    Am I missing something basic?

                                      The ../Textures/ file should also contain this?Capture.PNG and the ../gui/ folder this?Capture1.PNG
