      Unfortunately, the guide posted in your previous entry (http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323%26amp;t=36882%26amp;start=540#p545506) seems to no longer work? I cant get access to it - can any of you in here? Maybe I'm mistaking?

      The package I was thinking of was based on a screenshot earlier in this thread. It seemed to have more than the 10 leaves in the zip package - is there no more than those 10 leaves? Not to sound ungrateful, I just want to make sure I'm understanding it right πŸ˜„

              There is a known issue with SketchUp Ivy and some file export to renderers where the image size is distorted by the receiving app...
              Although your images are way too small to see the issue, I suspect that is what is wrong...

                Solution is explode the 'tree' --> group (or components)
                Then explode the 'leaves' --> group (or components)

                Then export the geometry separately to any render app! πŸ€“

                        just tried to grow an ivy and render with octane.

                        it seems that octane somehow moves or resets the leaves scale or something....

                        does anyone know what's going on and if it can be fixed?

                        thanks

                            Do you get this error all of the time?
                            Or is it related to particular settings ?

                              Have the same problem as jorgensen three posts before. I want to render ivy with indigo RT.
                              It seems it depends where the ivy leave components are placed in relation to the world origin.
                              Nothing works - only to explode the ivy leave components. But that can not be the goal. Never had such stubborn components in use ... here an example SKP2016 file, if someone has indigo and can help.


                              IvyTest_01-Mat25P.skp


                              SketchUp test scene


                              result with indigo RT

                                There have been some weird reports about some renderers and distorted results.
                                The only fix I can see is to work on a copy model.
                                Then use the Outliner to select all of the components involved and 'explode' them.
                                It might take a while to process ?
                                Then the renderer will probably cope OK ??

                                  I have the same problem; "When I use Vray to render geometry generated with Sketchup Ivy, the leaves don't render the same size as they appear in sketchup."
                                  Do you have a solution?
                                  Thank you for all.

                                        Yes works fine for me.
                                        Some of the problems users have relate to extreme option settings causing failures - read up earlier in this thread to see the recommended defaults to reset things...

                                        An accented character in your windows-user file-path might cause issues ?
                                        What's yours ?

                                          Is there a plugin that resets the scaling of several components selected at the same time? The native SketchUp function for a bunch of "extremely" scaled ivy leaves, for example. If you reset the scaling of the ivy leaves, the render program (e.g. Indigo) can calculate the positions correctly. However, resetting the scaling individually for thousands of sheets is very laborious.

                                            Have found a solution for my problems rendering ivy instances with indigo/indigoRT.
                                            The reason is, Indigo cannot place this instances correctly if the last element in the transformation matrix is not equal to 1.0.
                                            The code replaces leave component instances generatet with the "LiveIvy" plugin with there definition.
                                            The trick is to position the definition at exactly the same place with the same transformations like the original instance but with a scale factor of 1.0.
                                            The code is a modification of "scale_reinit" by Matt666 under use of "Scale Reset", "Reset Scale Rotation" by sdmitch and code lines of "Scale Definition" by TIG.
                                            It's use is the same like scale_reinit. With selected instances you find Replace_CI_Definition in the context menu.
                                            If someone uses indigo to render LiveIvy models, he can test it with the model in a previous post.
                                            But don't worry - after using the plugin the model looks exactly the same as before..


                                            Replace_CI_Definition.rb
