            This telling you that it can't find a file to load...
            ../Plugins/LiveIvy/LiveIvy_Base.rb
            This almost certainly means that the tool's subfolder of files in not in the 'Plugins' folder where it must be!
            Can you post a screen-shot of your 'Plugins' folder showing what you have actually installed...
            Also check your security permissions - these should be FULL for all Sketchup's subfolders, like 'Plugins'.

              Hi TIG, thanks for your support.

              HeΒ΄re the screenshoot of my Plugins folder:

              30-07-2012 04-11-52 a.m..jpg

              Change security permissions in folder plugins

              30-07-2012 04-17-03 a.m..jpg

              And still not working, make the same error.

              Regards

                Now the real mystery...
                I had to install LiveIvy to check this...
                There is no file called LiveIvy_Base.rb in any of the three zip archives you can download... Where'd that come from?
                BUT there is a Textures folder that should contain 10 files, missing from your LiveIvy folder too...
                The file inside the Plugins folder called LiveIvy.rb should make no attempt to ' require' that file. It should read
                require "LiveIvy/LiveVector_core" require "LiveIvy/LiveIvy_branch" require "LiveIvy/LiveIvy_node" require "LiveIvy/LiveIvy_leaf" require "LiveIvy/LiveIvy_tool"
                And nothing more...
                It seems to be trying to load the LiveIvy_Base.rb file unsuccessfully.
                Not surprising, as it doesn't/shouldn't exist...
                EDIT: See next post where the issue is clarified πŸ˜’

                  Now I realize what's up! πŸ˜’
                  Someone*** has been messing on with the zipped set [see a few posts ago] and you have this faulty version installed !!! ***Pejman 😞

                  The LiveIvy_Base.rb that does exist in that butchered version's subfolder is called from an also changed [auto-loaded] LiveIvy.rb file, and the LiveIvy_Base.rb file now includes the text to try and load the required tools...
                  require "LiveIvy/LiveVector_core" require "LiveIvy/LiveIvy_branch" require "LiveIvy/LiveIvy_node" require "LiveIvy/LiveIvy_leaf" require "LiveIvy/LiveIvy_tool"
                  BUT this should work because those files do exist, as the path is relative to the $LOAD_PATH list - and there's a subfolder of that name in Plugins!

                  BUT it ain't! πŸ˜•

                  However, this way should work too:
                  load "LiveVector_core.rb" load "LiveIvy_branch.rb" load "LiveIvy_node.rb" load "LiveIvy_leaf.rb" load "LiveIvy_tool.rb"

                  If you are going to mess with scripts ensure that they work properly afterwards !!
                  Pejman 😑

                    TIG - require doesn't work relative to the file it's being used it. It's relative to the search paths. Prefixing the folder relative to the plugins folder should be correct.

                      Doh!
                      You are right.
                      So why isn't it working ?
                      The files seem to be there - though we can't see the main Plugins contents...
                      The 'require' can simply get replaced with 'load' and it should work ??
                      I've edited the post.
                      The error message says it can't 'load' the file - presumably this is via 'require' ?
                      I give up!

                          I haven't installed the 'rogue' version...
                          As far as I can see from the code it should work, so I suspect it's a half-baked installation issue... BUT who knows?

                                      ..I still can't figure out how to install and make this plugin properly work πŸ˜†

                                      I've downloaded the new addition by Pejman, but same error message when loading (something about not being able to insert an empty component..).
                                      Moreover, no toolbar shows up.....
                                      I'm no noob, but I really can't figure this out πŸ˜†

                                        delete your LiveIvy folder in side your plugins folder. make sure you have no plugins for liveivy inside your plugins folder.

                                        reinstall by opening the last zip folder and dragging the plugin and folders into your plugins folder.

                                        you'll need to restart sketchup. go to toolbars and turn on the liveivy toolbar.

                                        should work. make sure that there are ivy components in your "Plugins\LiveIvy\Textures" folder.

                                          look at tips in the console. you'll have to grow the ivy branches and then hit ctrl click to put leaves on. you'll see green markers where leaves are going to be located. then hit shift click to finish.
