    Fair enough, but I have only installed what I needed as I wanted it, stopped me having loads of crap that I had tried in the past and didn't use now.
    With the Sketucation plugin it makes it simple to start from scratch.

      And remember that if you AutoInstall a plugin from the "SketchUcation Plugin Store" and then find that you only want to use it occasionally, then you can use the Store's toolbar sibling 'SketchUcation Plugins Manager' to 'Disable' it, so then it doesn't auto-load when SketchUp starts.
      Later when you need to use that particular Plugin you just 'Load' it [without Enabling]... so that it 'Loads' into SketchUp for just that one session, but it remains 'Disabled' when SketchUp is restarted.
      If later you find that you want to use it more often, then you can 'Enable' it permanently, so it then auto-loads again whenever SketchUp starts...
      If a Plugin is written as an 'Extension' then you can always use the 'SketchUcation Extension Manager' to 'Enable'/'Disable' it so it is only made active 'on demand'...
      With v2013 the Extensions Manager's tool-details for a selected Extension show its 'Loader' file-path/name, so you can easily find that Plugin and 'Disable' it with the 'Plugin Manager', which will then stop the 'Extension' even being auto-loaded at startup - again that's tidier if it's rarely used...

          Great plugin!! I have a question though, is it possible to make the leaves and/or flowers have only one color instead of the random ones? I get a lot of different materials that I must change in order for Vray to render them in the correct color. Vray doesn't automatically apply the color to the greyscale image. Another advantage is that the materiallist keeps a bit more organized. For now I will ungroup the tree when it's in the shape I want and then change the material on the leaf component. And then to create some vray proxies!!

          Thanks for this plugin!!

            Yes I understand.
            Currently I'm creating 8 small variations of the chosen color to make leaves/flowers each a little bit different. These materials are randomly applied to each component.
            I will add in the futur the option to apply only one material.
            Until this is implemented, you can edit the component, and appy your color/material directly to the faces, this will overwrite the color applied to the component. So this way you will not have to change each color.

                    Playing with Vine Tree, I have changed the leafs for high details leafs with new texture and I add more details to the flowers, rendering with Thea.

                      Waouah ! Thanks for sharing your results.
                      I'm working on the web UI interface. Just started so it will need some time, but will be easier to play with parameters. I will ask to those who created great trees to share them in order to include it into the next release (if volonteers of course).

                          I'm not... Try looking if you have the file extensions.rb or sketchup.rb in your plugins folder. If so delete it.

                            Please don't use SCF-Powerbar [it's not anything to do with SCF officially] or even have it installed...
                            http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=112024#p112024
                            It installed old files in the Plugins folder when the SketchUp-installed newer ones were needed in Tools !
                            Double check you have none of those in Plugins [e.g. sketchup.rb, extensions.rb]
                            It was removed last year - it caused too many problems...
                            It was a known 'rogue' long before that...
                            Find its rb file in Plugins and remove it.
                            Get in touch with [PM] its author, CADfather, if you need more advice...

                              I cannot give up my SCF PowerBar... It has a paste in place button TIG. A Paste in Place Button! I haven't run into any issue with it that I know of.

                              Oh wait... That's SCF Standard with the past in place. I don't use Power Bar as much. I use the drop, component stringer and line extrude on it though.

                                BUT hopefully you have NOT got the 'rogue files' that ill-advisedly come with it, inside its ZIP - like sketchup.rb and extensions.rb - which it stupidly puts into the Plugins folder, when SketchUp already puts newer versions of them into the Tools folder as it itself is installed [any versions in those system scripts in the Plugins folder take precedence when loading, and can thereby break SketchUp in unexpected/subtle ways]... πŸ˜’

                                        It's a conflict.

                                        Removing all plugins from the plugins folder and it works.

                                        Now how can I figure out which one it is...

                                        Even this was a conflict. It's also possible that something gets tossed in virtual store (by improper permissions at plugin -folder). So it's good to use thomthom's VirtualStore Check http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=48399 too
