        Have the Ruby Console open as you use it.
        Any errors ?
        What doesn't function properly ?
        Unless you tell us how can we help !
        Once the dialog opens set the desired parameters, settings, leaf type[s] etc: then left-mouse click near the base of a wall face to start, keep clicking to add more branches, hold Ctrl [Cmd?] and click to add leaves, use Alt [Opt] and click to grow towards the cursor; hold Shift and click to make the ivy...

          I am French and it is difficult to give technical explanations in English language :
          The plant doesn't create itself to the click of the mouse.
          No error in the Ruby console....

            Normally, most people will see a very small pink line, not real geometry, but a placeholder for a line. Do you not see that either?

              Can you try a clean reinstall of the tool, to be sure there are no legacy files.
              Open the Plugins folder and delete the LiveIvy.rb file and the entire LiveIvy subfolder.
              Now reinstall it from the downloaded RBZ or the SketchUcation PluginStore AutoInstall red-button.
              Restart SketchUp and try the tool again.
              What happens ?
              What is your OS ? PC or MAC ?
              Are you holding the modifier keys down while clicking ?
              Are you clicking on a wall face ??

                I reinstalled several times of course cleanly the plugin.
                At the first clic (without modifiers keys) a very small pink line appears but nothing happens to the others click
                however before suspecting a bad use....there was a display of a message of mistake of the program...no ?
                PC OS : Windows 7 32 bits SP3 - and Sketchup 8 Pro.

                  Please look at your default settings.
                  These are the shipped set:

                  {
                                  ;nodesize    => 3,

                                  ;probability => 0.97,
                                  ;radius      => 0.8,

                                  ;detail      => 4,
                                  ;spread      => 0
                              },
                              ;leaf     => {

                              },
                              ;gravity  => {
                                  ;weight => 1,
                                  ;vector => [0, 0, -1]

                                  ;weight => 0.1
                              },
                              ;random   => {
                                  ;weight => 0.3
                              },
                              ;adhesion =>{
                                  ;max_adhesion_distance => 50,

                              }
                  

                  Not all ot them will have dialog headings...
                  Please reset to those which do apply... and try again.
                  Remember that it might want the inpy value as 0.2 NOT 0,2 !!!

                    Thank you TIG, for your help...
                    But this plugin doesn't function with my configuration...
                    I uninstalled it.
                    Thank you again to have looked for the solutions to the problem
                    This last will be solved maybe at the time of a next update!
                    Best regards.

                      Did you try those default settings ?
                      Remember sizes are always entered in 'inches'...
                      And the decimal-separator is a '.' NOT a ','
                      If you get a small red line at the start it suggests it does start to work, but the settings are wrong...

                        do you see the javascript errors?

                          I have seen reports, but I do not get those errors on my MAC.
                          The jquery.tools.min.js code is a standard library that should be IE and Safari compatible...
                          That is why I have previously asked MAC users OS and if they has the latest Safari installed etc...
                          Any other ideas ?
                          Look through the millions of www pages... it seems that newer versions of jquery like the one supplied deprecated $.browser, but the jquery 'tools' still expects it [v1.2.5 is included BUT v1.2.6 & ..7-dev is available BUT not readily downloadable yet] !
                          Some set ups simply absorb the error, others choke.
                          I'll look at a fix and get you to test it on your MAC...
                          EDIT: I did get hold of v1.2.6 BUT it broke the dialog's sliders etc, so that's no use...

                            I only see it with WebInspector, not as a SU error...
                            The missing pngs, aren't a big issue, but do point to some packaging anomaly...

                            happy to test as always...

                              Can you replace this main.html [ it's ZIPed for uploading purposes ] file in ../LiveIvy/gui folder.
                              I added some jquery code to reinstae the deprecated $.browser code, and it has some Safari tests etc...so that MIGHT fix it on MACs...

                              If it works I'll release an update...


                              main.zip
