      No, i didn't overwrite. I binned those duds.

      I am using 2015 with the plugin.

      I am not using the cloud

      I emailed you the library

      Well I saved them all as v8 SKPs and then they ALL add into the dialog as thumbnails in v8 to v2015 !
      The hidden-geom needs switching off in the SKP so the thumbnail is clean...

            Here's Rich O'Brien's set of nine 'ivyleaf_' SKPs - all evergreen ivy leaves...
            They are in SUp v8 format, with the hidden-geometry OFF, so their thumbnails look better.

            You can either add those to your existing set in the ../Plugins/LiveIvy/Textures folder [they are named with a final 'ROB' so as not to clash], or of course you can remove any 'ivyleaf' SKPs you don't want to choose from - perhaps move them into a 'Disabled' subfolder...

              Incredible new feature to select different leafs, thanks you very much TIG 😍 πŸ‘
              With your permission TIG, I rebuild the leafs to decrease the leafs files size, only one or two planes for the leafs, I deleted the unnecessary edges. I made a new leafs with some skp files found in this topic, I made components for some parts of the leafs (minor file size) and I made new textures.
              The new leafs are named like 11, 12, 13a, 13b, 13c, 14a and 14b, to the leafs 1 to 10 I made a cleaning only, all are saved in SU8 format.
              The plugins works fine in SU2014/15 & OSX 10.9.5 only one problem with the leafs list alphabetic order, some leafs aren't ordered correctly, I marked the incorrect leaf, see the image below, I don't why.

              New Leafs

              New Leafs 1 to 10
              New Leafs 11 to 14b

                  Thanks Oxer.
                  There are several recent posts about adding these new 'ivyleaf_' SKPs to your ../Plugins/LiveIvy/Textures folder...
                  Clearly you might want to manage what you have loading from that folder, by 'disabling' some little-used or un-used SKPs...

                  Regarding the ordering...
                  The default ordering would be 1,10,11,2,3..9 etc
                  I adjusted it to use 1,2,3..9,10,11 etc
                  BUT having names like 13a, 13b etc currently confuses it as there is no inherent way to sort by the final 'suffix'...
                  This can be done... I'll look at it... πŸ€“

                      Here's v0.6.6x which now sorts the 'ivy_leaf_' thumbnails logically, names with number+letter suffixes are sorted after any pure numerical suffixes http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=SketchupIvy

                        Hi tig

                        This is a very nice plugin, even though I have a problem.

                        I have a wall, that is 20 meter high wall and 100 meters long, and somehow I need to green (not the right word I guess) whis wall.

                        But I have a struggle to find the right settings. No matter what settings I use, it seems that I can't get the ivy higher than 4-5 meters before it gets to heavy / dence. Can anyone guide me here πŸ˜„

                        If I can create some of the Ives I can use them as proxies in max / octane, but it might not be possible at all to create ivys this big?

                          You might want to look at my Green Wall thread. I don't know that this is what you want. Ivy is probably not for larger areas.

                              You can always ad ivy leaves into the grass proxies/comps. Make sure to post back and show us how it turns out.

                                          I don't know if I'm the author or not... I did a lot of testing and made some tuts for this plugin back in the day, but can't remember if I did this or if someone else gave it to me.

                                          Regardless, it's a great resource and I'll bring it out of SU and put in a better format.
