[Plugin] Sketchup Ivy

Krisidious

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

names must remain the same.

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

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

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.
