      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 😒

        Now I realize what's up! 😒
        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! 😕

        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 !!

          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!

              Did you get the error as well? Or has it been just that user?

                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 removed your original faulty file so as not to confuse members which file to download.

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

                            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 😆

                              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.

                                  HI

                                  I installed the "LiveIvy 1" but there are generated only strains and no leaves. Am I doing something wrong? In the Ruby Console is displayed, see below.

                                  Problem solved: I had forgotten to press the ctrl key.

                                      no problem I guess you figured it out before I even got my response in. have fun and feel free to post some examples. and settings to go with them.
                                      would love to add some presets to this plugin.

                                        Maybe you can help me again. Now the leaves are not transparent! The problem was treated in an earlier post but I could not find it until now.

                                          I had to go in and edit each component and it's material. each material source needs to be a .png file for transparency. and then I hid the line edges and saved the component. let me see if I can upload mine.

                                            I did exactly like this, last time. Just to make sure, I re-did that and it's just the same: "can't insert empty component" (I'm translating the message from italian). Under "View->toolbars" there is no option to turn on the LiveIvy toolbar. If I choose the tool manually, I can generate the red lines and leaves, but generating the actual geometry leads to no real geometry but a simple black line over the first stem's position (no leaves and no additional stems).

                                            ..your latest post also makes me wonder if these problems could be generated by base components saved in SU8 format..If so, could anybody convert them to the previous version, to maximize compatibility?
