      versus
      last edited by

      I found the problem, perhaps due to a misspelling between lines = begin and = end, this is due only to a point out of place, just before = end, in my case, I have many plugins installed and thought it was due to one that caused the conflict, I tried an installation of SU 8 without additional plugins and charge well, it might be the WXP vs windows vista, in windows vista remove the point of the last sentence of the load file header specifically as follows:

      original
      AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
      = end
      new
      AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE
      = end

      in windows vista files are not loaded when I was at the end point of the line before = end, but in windows xp there was no problem loading the plugin

      another thing I did was copy the contents of the folder directly in the plugins folder of SU 8

        Yes Kris nothing happens at all...just frustration 😲

        Hi Kris,
        Sorry for that but I only tested it on SU8 as dev started after SU8 was available. Do not know what functions are not correctly supported by previous versions.
        Do you get at least the menu in plugins ?
        I you activate the Ruby console, do you get some messages in the console ?
        Yours
        Pascal

        Yes the menu is there...When I choice "Make tree" it returns:

        Error: #<RuntimeError: Can't insert empty component.>
        (eval):1050:in load' (eval):1050:in initialize'
        (eval):1042:in each' (eval):1042:in initialize'
        (eval):1217:in new' (eval):1217:in initialize'

        (eval):651:in each' (eval):651:in f3das_loadconfiguration'
        (eval):4443:in require' (eval):4443:in call'

        Hope you can help

          Are you sure that the specified component SKP exists in the tool's subfolder?

          If so can you open it in SketchUp?

          If it is getting found, then the 'empty component' error suggest that is either 'empty' [i.e. it contains no entities] or most likely it's been saved as a SketchUp version newer that the version that your current Model is opened in ??
          So for example, if the SKPs are v2013 and you try to use them in v8 it'll fail, or
          if the SKPs are v8 and you try to use them in v7 it'll fail and so on... Older version SKPs can be used with newer versions of SketchUp, but not vice versa...
          The tool's SKPs seem to ship as v8.
          Have you edited them in v2013, or trying to use them in SketchUp v7 ?

          So, if you open/edit any component SKP - like those in the tool's subfolder - then be sure to use 'Save_as' on it to put it back as being for an earlier version of SketchUp: so that it is then compatible when inserted as a component in earlier versions that it has just been edited in...

            Brilliant plugin, Pascal...and very configurable...both during and post production. 👍 👍 👍
            The tree on the left is a default Olive...but with simplified leaf geometry (down to 3 faces per leaf). It is now down to only 21,000 faces.
            The tree on the right is another default Olive, but with even simpler leaves (1 face) but double the number of leaves; and minus all the small twigs. This is down to only 12,000 faces. It was only 7000 before I doubled the leaf count (by simply selecting the foliage group, duplicating and rotating it.)

                This part of code is loading skp files as components. It seems that these files are not read by SU7. The solution may be to load them wiht SU8 and save them as SU7 skp format.

                  Thanx to help TIG

                  I have saved all leaves components in version 7 and now I get it to start...
                  Anyway it creates the trunk but no leaves and I get this error message from ruby console:

                    I need to debug with SU7. Seems SU7 interprets differently the ruby code. hue2rgb is a local definition within another one (hsltorgb). Should not be a method of the class. (is not with SU8).

                    Here is the code that is working for SU8 and not SU7 if someone has an idea

                    def hsltorgb(h, s, l)
                    		if h<0.0
                    			h=h+1.0
                    		end
                    		if h>1.0
                    			h=h-1.0
                    		end
                    		if s<0.01
                    			s=0.01
                    		end
                    		if s>0.99
                    			s=0.99
                    		end
                    		if l<0.01
                    			l=0.01
                    		end
                    		if l>0.99
                    			l=0.99
                    		end
                    		if(s == 0)
                    			r = g = b = l
                    		else
                    			def hue2rgb(p, q, t)

                    			q = l < 0.5 ? l * (1.0 + s) ; l + s - l * s
                    			p = 2.0 * l - q

                      ok I got it.
                      Need to publish new version.
                      Really strange that ruby code (without SU calls) not interpreted the same way.

                          Brilliant indeed!

                          The plugin is also very good at making 'low' polygon count trees. The picture is a tree made of nearly 3k faces and 6k edges (mostly the trunk and 3d branches), the leaf size is maximum with a branch texture applied to it.

                                  I will wait for it 😉

                                  Beta v0.93 published : (should work with SU7, but still to be tested)

                                  • Fixed call to hue2rgb code incorrectly interpreted by SU7 (inline def usage)
                                  • Converted skp leaves components to SU7 file format (hope it will work also with SU8)
                                  • Fix of “up” flowers parameter bug
                                  • Removed the dot at the end of comments between =begin and =end commands that generates errors loading script in some cases

                                    On SU 2013 Win, I'm getting this error on startup.

                                    no such file to load -- 3darcstudio/3darcstudiotree.rbs
                                    Error Loading File 3darcstudiotreeloader.rb
                                    no such file to load -- 3darcstudio/3darcstudiotree.rbs

                                    The file is in the location specified.

                                    I'm getting this exact same thing. I have full permissions.

                                    I'm not crazy... WooHoo...

                                    Hi,
                                    I made tests with SU 2013 (free version). Seems to work, so I Will need more info to find the error cause.

                                    • any other info within message box other than error loading file ?
                                    • the loader is not scrambled and only few lines (less than 10), if someone else got similar issue when migrating to SU2013 ? Here is the code (I only removed the dots at the end of lines between =begin and =end.

                                    =begin

                                      Dear all,
                                      Here is a new tree template I like.
                                      Extract the zip file to the plugins/3darcstudio directory and choose Vine Tree template when creating a tree.
                                      Yours

                                      tree maker template to copy to plugin 3darcstudio directory

                                        I get the same error in both SU8 and SU2013.

                                        no such file to load -- 3darcstudio/3darcstudiotree.rbs

                                        no such file to load -- 3darcstudio/3darcstudiotree.rbs

                                        Could this be a Pro Problem?

                                          Kris, are you running SU in Administrator mode? You can set the program exe file to do this every time in Properties. I had to do this some time ago when a few of Fredo's scripts were acting up (before he updated the library file)
                                          I'm not saying it'll solve the problem, but it's worth a try. I've had that error in the past with other Rubies...infuriating when the 'missing' file is staring you in the face.

                                          Were you required to walk 500 miles? Were you advised to walk 500 more?

                                            Check that everyone has FULL permissions to your Plugins folder [and that it trickles down to all subfolders/files etc...]
                                            If you have a 'CREATOR OWNER' listed under Security try to remove it...
                                            Use the 'Advanced...' options to Edit that...
                                            Add yourself [or your 'group'] as the Owner.
                                            The only three entries you need are SYSTEM, users-group and admins-group - and perhaps yourself - BUT you should be in the other two groups anyway!
                                            You don't really need CREATOR OWNER or Trusted Installer...
                                            Have the inherit properties check-box unchecked!

                                            That combined with running it as administrator might alleviate these issues... 😕
