[Plugin] Sketchup Ivy

[lele_poggi]

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.

No luck getting this installed. Dropped the contents of the zip into my "Plugins" folder and I'm getting this when I open Sketchup:

Error Loading File LiveIvy.rb
undefined method `file_loaded?' for main:Object

Mac 10.8.3 / SketchUp 2013

One of the SketchUp gurus will have to answer that...

[revalucia]

same problem:
Error Loading File LiveIvy.rb
undefined method `file_loaded?' for main:Object

SU2013
plugin Vray 1.49.02
and sketchupIvy 0.6.3beta
Please help! thank you

[TIG]

The file_loaded? method is created by sketchup.rb
There should be a line near the start of every script to ensure that sketchup.rb is loaded before calling it:
require('sketchup.rb')
This will load it if it has no already been loaded by a script that loaded earlier on.
If you have a very limited number of plugins loading and one of them has not loaded sketchup.rb before getting to try and load 'LiveIvy.rb' then you'll get a failure.
If you don't want to edit the LiveIvy file to add that line of code at the sart, then why not just install the 'SketchUcation Plugin Store' toolset [see the Resources menu] - that has a loader starting with ! putting it first alphabetically, so it loads at the very start AND therefore will have already 'required' sketchup.rb, preventing later miscast plugins throwing an error.
You'll also have the added advantage of then having an awesome [free] toolset to auto-install and manager your plugins and extensions !

The SketchupIvy.0.6.3 is a .rar file and Sketchup cant recognize it because it not an rbz. how do we install it?

Just extract it to your plugins folder. It's a zip folder.

[TIG]

You can get the RBZ version from http://sketchucation.com/resources/pluginstore?pln=SketchupIvy

Hello everybody, this very nice plugin working good with skp8 on windows xp and don't work with skp8 on windows vista?? with files in rar or rbz. anybody had got the same problem?? and is there a solution. thank you.

[Krisidious]

It will work on any system you put it on. perhaps you're having conflicts with other old plugins.

[TIG]

If you don't explain 'how it doesn't work' then no one will be able to help you to fix this problem.
It WILL install and work...
You are either mis-installing, mis-using or have other conflicting plugins [like maybe Vray beta] ?
Give us a clue !

[saturne45]

Thank you for reply, when I start the plugin I can't get the reds lines ( branch) on my face,when I do ctrl left clic I get a littles crosses and shift clic I do that ? see on my screencapture. The plug installation is correct.
right now; I'm looking for if there is a conflict with others plugins.Thank you.

just left click to continue the growing process, then use ctrl+click (as you know) to add leaves and shift+click to finish

I seem to be having this same issue... all the leaves point downward, generally, and so the overall appearance is 'droopy.' There's doesn't seem to be a parameter to adjust this, though? Any thoughts?
