[Plugin] Sketchup Ivy

For me it grows and works fine in new files. If i try and open a previous project file i can't get the dialog window to open. It seems to stall.

I see response to my request to add the ability to choose the leaves.
In the summer I started doing sets of components for the various plants.
They are in varying degrees of completion. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/32445396/ivyleaf_pasthenocissus.zip
Here is a package for "wild vine" (Parthenocissus) is not 100% like I wanted but one of the curiosities that I wanted to enter. Namely, they are leaves added on two layers of autumn (jesień) and summer (lato) allowing you to quickly change the color by switching layer.
In the future, if you have enough creative inspiration and I will try to finish the remaining sets I am working on and share them.

Sorry for the grammatical errors have not practiced my English for a long long time

Great that you were able to add choices of leaves which I asked about.

I made a set of leaves for "wild vine" (I do not know the name in English in quotes I gave direct translation of common name in Polish ) in Latin it is Parthenocissus. Characterized by the fact that in the summer the leaves are green but autumn color change to dark red and do not fall for a long time because of that I wanted to add it to the model and more or less succeeded. Leaf models are double on two separate layers thanks to which switching between one and the other can changed season.

In the future, if I have enough creative inspiration to finish the remaining sets for other plants I will also share them.

Sorry for language mistakes I have not practiced writing in English for a long time

Your English is just fine MalyJacek... Really nice contribution.

Would all of these contributions be collected and added to the SketchUp Ivy install (download) or would one have to do it yourself? It would be really neat if it could be incorporated.

please i need help..mine is not appearing under plugins and i have pasted it exactly in the plugins folder. iam currently using sketch up pro 2013.....a help wii be appreciated.

I don't have this plugin, but in the first post you can see that it should work fine in SU 8-2015 versions. Please don't past anything. Download the .rbz from the first post of this thread (the big button) instead and install it within SU by going to window-->preferences-->extensions-->install extension.

You have v2013 of SketchUp...
You do NOT 'paste' anything into the Plugins folder.
Use Preferences > Extensions > Install.... button to extract the contents of the RBZ file into the correct Plugins folder - all done automatically.
Since v8 this is the correct way to install RBZ archived plugins...
Most plugins come in that format - there is no need to ever open you Plugins folder !
Manually extracting and pasting files is a sure way of ruining your day...

ALSO, please be aware that not all plugins appear in the Plugins menu [aka Extensions menu in v2015]
In this case, the 'LiveIvy' tool appears under the Draw menu, and there is also a Toolbar of the same name too...

Thanks! Great Work! Can confirm the plugin is working in OSX Yosemite in sketchup 8.

TIG · 1 Feb 2015, 14:11

There's an update...
http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=SketchupIvy
It only affects a few users with older versions of SketchUp etc.
It should now be glitch free in all versions from v8 to v2015...

Krisidious · 1 Feb 2015, 19:31

Thanks TIG...

Chisaina · 2 Feb 2015, 14:54

TIG · 2 Feb 2015, 16:34

Thanks for the bug-report.
It was an easy to find typo, although I can't see how it ever happened !
The latest version is available here http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=SketchupIvy I have checked it and it seems to work OK again...

Chisaina · 2 Feb 2015, 17:22

TIG, Thanks for the speed

cotty · 2 Feb 2015, 18:05

For me, only the toolbar and not the draw menu entry is working.

Is this with the very latest version from yesterday ?
Have you tried it with the Ruby Console open ?
Does it show the magenta branches [Click] ?
Does it show the green X markers for the leaves [when Alt+Click MAC] ?
On Shift+Click what happens ?
Any error messages ?

Oxer · 3 Feb 2015, 13:15

On OS X 10.10.2 & SU2015 if you have Shift locked the plugin doesn't work, see if you have Shift unlocked because for me the plugin works fine.
