      The project was made quite some time ago. I, we, where rather newish to SketchUp plugins. The project was in early stages - still is because we've not had time to work on it. Information is not the best, as it was intended more for developers than users.

      The CityGen thread points to where the modules should be installed:

      @unknownuser said:

      Core and Installation Check
      This is the main file that centralise information and load the other modules.
      Modules are located in Plugins\CityGen\modules.

      So the Streetgen modules should go into that folder.

      I've been wishing to update this project, but it's been too far down on my priority list. 😞

        Literally, like: Plugins\CityGen\modules\street_gen
        or like: Plugins\CityGen\street_gen\

        I tried both and am not sure why it is now working... I surely have it mucked up a bit with unnecessary dupes but it is working well enough, and understandably no one has the time to help figure it out.

        Thanks for checking in and replying and for sharing the thing in the first place.

        Oh, I see over at the City Gen thread you already clarified:

          Yes, the instructions are a bit confusing - I know. we where changing many things very quickly when we where actively developing. That's why some notes might be somewhat inconsistent.

          hmm... Maybe it'd be worth re-packaging as RBZ...

            Well, I'm all for it. I find the parameter setting applet to be clear and concise and quite elegant. An irrelevant benefit to running the routine is that errant entities are made obvious owning to how they generate more obvious 'errants'.

              I used it to draw braided streams for planning purposes. Perhaps the street gen focus is limiting it's real applicability. (I seemed to be getting erroneous non-co-planar error msgs in the ruby console, but enough of that.) These were no done carefully and have not been cleaned up, either.

                What is you don't do corner rounding?

                  Sorry I missed your post. I was working with curves, so there were no corners to be rounded.

                    Doesn't matter - it doesn't see Curves. So when you set the rounding to 360 you will get odd results. It wasn't meant to accept such value. Just hasn't been implemented a limit check.

                      If you don't want rounding you should set it to 0.

                        Oh wait... I might have confused myself.

                        ugh... it's been so long since I worked on this project... 😞

                        I think you might be right... 😳

                          So I thought did not need the rounding and set it to 360 so as to avoid (further, excessive) rounding, you are saying to set it lower, say 359, because the routine does not like 360?

                                  That's a bit vague request. Add road sign - how, and by what rules?
                                  Or are you looking for a library of components?

                                    By the Sketch-up road sign plug-in rules in any country you choose.

                                      This is still too vague. What rules are these?
                                      In any case - creating the signs for all the signs in the world - even just one is a bit of a task. But if you wan't to suggest it as a plugin you really need to be more spesific to what it would be used for and how it is supposed to work.

                                        I come from China, is to learn

                                            I do realise this is kind of dead but did it stop working with SU 2015 because I installed it correctly the city generator is displayed in tools but the street generator isn't showing. So I can't do anything.
