    Can be apply other things than trunck ? (as textures/material or as components)
    Can be apply other things than branch ? (as textures/material or as components)
    Can be apply other things than leaf ? (as textures/material or as components)

      Hi Pilou,
      If your question is how to add your own textures and leaves/flowers types, here is how it works now :

      • textures available are all "*.jpg" files that exists in the 3darcstudio plugin dir.
      • leaves/flowers components are all "*.skp" files that exists in the 3Darcstudio plugin dir.
        So you can easily add your own by copying your files into this dir.
        Be careful when defining your own components to make the origin of the component at the beginning of the leaf, and the leaf pointing to the sky (z direction), with size arrong 10 cms long.

        Tried and still the same error.[/quote]

        Arghh...! do not understand why. Maybe try to delete files and copy them again to be sure file has not been corrupted. Does it work with SU8 ?

              Let's try some testing with the Ruby Console...
              Copy paste these lines + <enter>
              path='C:/Program Files (x86)/Sketchup/Sketchup 2013/Plugins/3darcstudio/3darcstudiotree.rbs'
              Then this
              File.exist?(path)
              which will return 'true' or 'false'...
              If 'false' that's plain weird as you can 'see' it !?
              Check the exact spellings, compared to the error messages etc the 'loader text is '3darcstudio/3darcstudiotree.rbs'
              If it's 'true' then try...
              load path
              which will return 'true' or 'false'...
              If it's 'true', then the code in the rbs file has loaded and the menu/toolbar etc should be available, as if the Extension had been loaded and activated...
              What happens ?

                  Hello Pascal,

                  Just had a go with the plugin. It works really fine already!

                  My 2 cts:

                  1. if I right-click and adjust any part of a tree it also generates new elements for every other part of the tree. I understand changing the branches should also change the position of the leaves but changing the leaves atm also changes the trunk, not really what you want if you're fine tuning a tree

                  2. i might be a nice feature if one could control the size / length of the branches (size decrease or increase by x %) depending on the position on the tree (higher up the tree = make branches less long by 50% etc).

                  3. ditto for the leaves - for instance smaller leaves near the end of a branch.

                  edit: 4. adjusting a tree reloads all materials and textures. If you-re fine-tuning a tree and already edited one of your materials you have to do that again and again.

                  Greetings,

                  Max

                  The tree is entirely rebuilt each time a single parameter is changed (as almost all parameters have impacts on others"). Something I do not know how to fix.
                  But the lenght of the brenches in fact are varying based on their position on the tree as you are asking for. This is managed by the "tree shape" parameter (pyramidal, spherical, ...) . See the pdf doc for this parameter.

                    edit: 5. the textures for the bark must be located in the 3d arcstudio directory. The same for the models of the leaves. Many people have all their content on (shared and backupped) network drives. It would be great if one could make a redirection to external folders for the textures and a different one for the leaf-models.

                      Strange. Really seams the file is corrupted. Could you try deleting all local files from 3darcstudio, and downloading it again after emptying your browser cache from the web site (http://www.3darcstudio.com )

                      Looks like Sketchup unable to read/interpret source code rbs file :

                      • the script start with : =begin and =end remarks lines so they should be ignored
                      • no "." dot character used without the number 0 before, maybe wrong interpretation of the decimal point

                      exact size of rbs file on my computer is 193 410 octets

                          As always, I did not spend enough time reading the manual. I will read it.

                          I ran into another small issue: I made my own leaf-component and textured both front and backside of the faces. If I run the tree plugin the mapping coordinates of the backfaces of those leafs get messed up.

                          It's easy to fix by right clicking on a component and reload the original leaf-file but a bit strange.

                          Still, compliments on the plugin! Having great fun with it the last couple of hours ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ‘
