        Did you mean, "it would be nice with" or "Could you please"? πŸ˜‰

        Just saying, the wording can make a difference. Making freeware stuff and you end up with lots of demands from your users, it can get a bit tiresome. (Spoken by someone who makes lots of freeware.)

          }
          

          The default settings as extracted from the code.
          Now you do some work resetting your values manually... 😐

                  I don't even have this tool installed !
                  The default adhesion seems to be 50 in the code I posted...
                  Why is yours 0.2 [20?] ??
                  Presumably the higher the adhesion value the more it sticks to the wall ???

                          Wow Ivy Generator is great, but im having a problem importing the file back into SU, i can export my model from SU into Ivy Gen but when i import it to SU it freezes SU and never recovers, im using free version of SU and using obj importer, any suggestions would be great

                            I dropped file into plugins folder but it is not showing up in sketchup...I noticed the file is .rar, not a rb file. What is the secret?

                              Doh!
                              A .rar file is a compressed file - like a .zip file - just made by another application.
                              So, like with a zip file you must extract its contents - i.e. the .rb file and intact subfolder[s] of miscellaneous files that then go into the Plugins folder.
                              There's a sticky-post in the Plugins Forum about installing tools from zip files - read that - substituting 'rar' when it says 'zip'...

                                  I tried all 3 versions, none worked properly, but after reading all 25 pages of forum, and about an hour and a half of loading and re-loading plugins, it's FINALLY working well for me, hope it stays that way. Rendering in Thea,
                                  but the alpha channels do not import, but no big deal, I do it manually, and renders just fine.
                                  Thank you Pierreden.

                                    I didn't have your patience to get it to work. I did install it and the dialog worked fine. It just didn't seem to 'grow' the ivy, and it's not like I didn't check the installation and read up about it. The reality is that I didn't need the functionality enough to put the time and effort in.

                                    The frustrating thing is that it looks like a really excellent plugin, but it needs sorting out before it's ready for most users.

                                    If a lot of people have to make a considerable effort to get it working after 25 pages of posts, it shows that more work is necessary.

                                    Sorry - I don't mean any criticism or disrespect to the author in the slightest, it seems to be a wonderful plugin and the effort you have made is very much appreciated!

                                      I hear you Bigstick, it seems to be working on/off and can get frustrating, but it promises to be a great plugin, and I hope all the bugs will be worked out.

                                        Agree 100%, I really hope these niggles can be fixed, because for lots of users it will be a 'must have'! The only reason I haven't persisted more is time unfortunately. All my spare time is taken up with SUPodium, and I would love to get the two to work together nicely.

                                        Actually this could be the basis of a tree/plant generator, to make any kind of plant. Huge undertaking though I suspect...

                                          πŸ‘ i totally agree on that opinion, bigstick.
                                          at least from the description and exhibits showing what it might capable of.

                                            I'm using sketchup 8
                                            The leaf size outcome look nice at sketchup
                                            but everytime i render, it become standard value size (5)
                                            anyone can help me with this issue ?
                                            Many thanks
