Do you have the liveivy .rb file in the plugins folder and your liveivy folder inside of the plugins folder as well?

You should delete all the liveivy and make sure you downloaded the 0.6.3 version.

zelimbo

emmm i have a folder which i named ivy with all the files it comes with....apart from that i copied the liveivy.rb file alone in the pluggins folder......should i eliminate one of them?? im kinda lost and really want this app

thanx!!

Krisidious

you should have a "LiveIvy.rb" in your plugins folder and a "LiveIvy" folder in your plugins folder.

names must remain the same.

zelimbo

thanks kristoff for taking your time with me did what you told me to and ended up wiht this:

Error Loading File LiveIvy.rb
can't convert nil into String

Krisidious

You get that when you load sketchup or when you load the plugin and try to use it?

zelimbo

i get that when i load sketchup

Krisidious

Here... Try mine.

it's like 37 megs. has more ivy in it.

if this doesn't work there is a conflict with another plugin.

Great work.
I have worked with the original ivy generator back in 2008-2009.
Don't have any thing to say right now since just start using it.
Ill keep you posted if anything comes up.

Keep you the great work

Thank you for this wonderful plug in. I was about to start modeling ivy by hand!!!! But this saved me so much time. THANK YOU

The plug-in doesn't work with the new version of Vray for Sketchup 1.6.
Can be fixed this bug?
Thank you

Thank you
The bug is in the Vray beta - it breaks several legit tools by having some flaky observer calls... I know Vray have a solution and I'd expect an update to their beta soonest...
Meanwhile can I suggest that you disable Vray from loading while modeling - you don't need a renderer to model ??

Thanks TIG.
I've already disable Vray and it works fine.
I didn't know it was a Vray bug.
So I'm in waiting for their next beta release to check this.

I'd recommend that you report this to the developers of V-Ray. It's known to have caused problems with other plugins as well.

TO COME

Leaves as Components

More Parameters and grow patterns.

Other Plugins. Fur, Cloth and Tree.

I wonder what happened to Pierreden

Sorry to say I did not find this plug-in very useful. But it could be my version of SketchUp (2013). The "branch" part worked okay; but when I applied the leaves, they all drooped (no matter what settings I used... and I really tried to make this work). Turns out the "Tak2hata: Make Fur v2.0.6" is much better at creating leaves. Nice try though. And by the way, I do have the original ivy maker which I use once in awhile.

One other problem... the leaves for some reason turned up in every new file I opened as components. Then I tried to remove "unused" components, the leaves would not purge. They had to be deleted individually. Annoying.
