      How change order as all is in the same dialog box???
      Sorry but seems impossible or I miss something for the Duh thread ๐Ÿ˜ณ

      Seems that the Zspacing accepting a % will be very cool?

      I have the 1.0 20070207

        There is a separate dialog at the end asking for 'order of operations'...

        The latest version of 'Grow' is now available for download here http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=324331#p324331

            Ok that works like a charm ๐Ÿ˜Ž
            except that we must find first the "Growth point"!!!
            the "bottom point base" of the troncated crossing edges top Pyramid! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

            Maybe this can be automatic because in this case its' easy to find it but in case of complex form?
            Or biggest volume?

            Mr TIG it's your turn ๐Ÿ˜„

              Gee, I'm glad i stumbled on this; I like Pilou had an old version....TIG, is this only relatively new? I just went to http://www.crai.archi.fr/RubyLibraryDepot/Ruby/em_edi_page.htm and the old one still downloads.....

              TIG, Have you produced a instructions sheet with this latest version? I am having trouble executing what i want to do. I seem to be confused as the the 'X' and 'Y' planes....
              I assume 'X' is red direction; left and right,
              'Y' is green direction; up and down the screen,
              and
              'Z' is obvious.

              When I rotate a vertical ['Z' plane] object around what i think is the RED direction it actually rotates it around the GREEN...['Y']

              Also, TIG, can you give a little detailed explanation of the order of parameters...?
              I have been getting an awful lot of Bugspats!!!!

              Don't get me wrong, I think once I get the concept of it I will have found my new favourite plugin!!!

                Z Is not obvious, with it your model goes in the 3D space up & down! ๐Ÿ˜‰
                there is a little help text inside the code plug! Open it ๐Ÿ˜‰

                It's around the BLUE AXIS ๐Ÿ˜‰

                Order gives you the natural order of transformations ๐Ÿ˜‰

                About the first problem seems you can't oblige to have 80% for have perfect fit if you don't know the other X,Y,Z measures!
                it's depending of the measure of the first start volume!
                See my example above! I have 50% for this one (of course with my start measures volume)

                My regulates and don't forget the Growth point position (see image above)
                nb copy 3
                X spacing = 0
                Y spacing = 0
                Z spacing = 100 cm
                Scaling = Yes

                Xspacing scaling = 1
                Yspacing scaling = 1
                Zspacing scaling = 0.5

                Xcopy scaling = 0.5
                Ycopy scaling = 0.5
                Zcopy scaling = 0.5

                (all exponential+ by default)

                Move Scale Rotate order (or Move Rotate Scale as the is no rotation in this one)

                  Thanks Pilou,
                  I believe Z is always vertical [blue axis in SU]. If the ground plane is the ground then it makes sence to me that Z [blue axis is vertical....

                  See the simple Palm tree attached.
                  GrowTest01.png
                  Say I want to rotate copy and move the palm fron as noted on the attached image. Still getting weird outcomes when I try to do so...

                  thanks in advance.

                      No, Pilou. As a Palm fron grows [pardon the pun], it faces the sky with it's flat side facing up. Sometimes, slightly rotated but for the purpose of the exersice, lets keep it simple....
                      This is what i mean.
                      GrowTest02.png
                      Then copy and rotate various frons to thicken up the folage...GrowTest03.png
                      Then do a little 'Fredo' bending....
                      GrowTest04.png

                      So thats what i want to do with grow, however I just did this example manually...
                      Skippy attached FYI...
                      Thanks for your help with this idea, Pilou, much appreciated!! ๐Ÿ‘

                                      Ok, I have loaded the new 2.1 version...

                                      Did a little axis directions text [see attached.] It eems that the X axis directions are back to front. I would have thought that the postive directions would have been forward and the negative direction would be backwards....
                                      Grow_-_AxisDirections1.png
                                      Also, rotations around the Z axis are anti-clockwise. I thought it makes sense to have postive rotations clockwise and negative rotations anticlockwise.... [see also attached]

                                      TIG, is there any reason for this?

                                      Eitherway, I think i have it worked out. ๐Ÿ‘
