      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.

        Good tip Oxer. ☀
        If you have Shift locked you can't hold it + click to complete the Ivy ?
        Works for other MAC users, so please try Oxer's suggestion...

          Is this with the very latest version from yesterday ?
          —Y
          Have you tried it with the Ruby Console open ?
          —Y
          Does it show the magenta branches [Click] ?
          —Y
          Does it show the green X markers for the leaves [when Alt+Click MAC] ?
          —Y
          On Shift+Click what happens ?
          — Created only one branch. No leaves
          Any error messages ?
          —N

              Have you followed Oxer's advice about [un]locking-shift_key ?
              You can also mess up some key-pressing if some aspects of the MAC's keyboard are mis-set !
              Many other MAC users [including me !] have no issues... so it must be solvable... 😒

                SU 2014 Sketchup Ivy works fine, SU 2015 — bugs. On the same machine, on the same system, at the same time. keyboard and the keys are not modified

                  This is very weird. 😕
                  There is no discernible difference between v2014 and v2015 Ruby, and the code is just the same on both !

                      Do you have different plugins between 2014 and 2015? A conflict?

                        Right now we are getting somewhere !

                        If you set the 'Branch Radius' to 0.0 you will get that error, because you can't have a zero width stem !
                        These screen shots show the default parameters/settings...
                        Try resetting back to those...
                        There are helpful tooltips if you hover over each item...

                          Perhaps you should make the default setting not "0"?

                              This updated version [0.6.8x] is "fool-proofed" !
                              It prevents you entering zero values etc as settings which could break the code [it usually defaults to 0.1 if < 0.1 etc ]

                                    Thanks for that amazing plugintool.
                                    I have skp2015x64, i install de .rbz file with custom>extension..but when i open skp the subfolder menu doesn´t appear, only the Liveivy icon, but don´t work, don´t do anything. Does it works in skp2015?
                                    Thanks a lot!
                                    Jesus.

                                      Have you installed it properly from the RBZ using SketchUp's Window > Preferences > Extensions > Install... button ?
                                      Was the installation reported as successful ?
                                      Have you restarted SketchUp since then ?

                                      Note that it is NOT an Extension - it's just a Plugin - so it is NOT in the Preferences > Extensions list.

                                      It appears in 'Toolbars' list as 'LiveIvy' - activate it if necessary - launch the tool by clicking the one button on its toolbar.

                                      It also appears under the 'Draw' menu as 'Live Ivy Tool', that item also launches the tool...

                                      Follow the instructions in its dialog.

                                      It has different tabs which allow you to choose different Parameters, Ivy Settings, Leaf Types, and its last two tabs are the 'Help' section - guidance on Usage and the Key presses to modify the results.

                                      Although the latest version is now trapped to prevent you completely breaking it - for the avoidance of doubt, the original default settings screen-shots are reprised in this post: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=556406#p556406

                                        Wow. This is awesome. Thanks so much.
                                        Two questions:

                                        1. Maxing "Adhesion" still leaves a significant amount of branches moving away from a wall surface. Is there any way to make the branches stay in contact more? Or to have a may zone that the branches may occupy (say, 6" thick, like real ivy)
                                        2. Is it possible to add user-defined jpegs for leaves and bark textures?

                                            I only made 'compatibility' revisions to the OP's code...
                                            If you a look at the code in the various files, then you can try adjust a few things and see what happens...
                                            You can add your own leaf component cutouts - based on your own image textures...
                                            Save them as SKP files in the subfolder ..Plugins//LiveIvy/Textures...
                                            They are available when the tool is first used.
                                            The 'stem.jpg' is used for the stalks' textures, so if you replace that with another it changes in your future ivies...

                                            Sounds like there's no clear method of getting more ivy to "stick" to the wall.
                                            Hey-While I'm here...thank you for all your incredible work for the SU community!
