      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! πŸ˜‰
        there is a little help text inside the code plug! Open it πŸ˜‰

        @unknownuser said:

        It's around the BLUE AXIS πŸ˜‰

        Order gives you the natural order of transformations πŸ˜‰

        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!! πŸ‘

                            Thanks Pilou, I think I am on the right track now. I will post some updates later.

                              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. πŸ‘

                                          Didier and Fredo had/has some old versions laying around as well. I noticed the last week several users seemed to have been downloading them instead of the new versions - despite noticed about newer versions. So I wanted to do a sweep of the plugin section and remove old versions and lock old obsolete threads. With the permission of the authors - in case they deliberately left them out there for legacy reasons.

                                            Grow.rb is a pretty old thing - probably predates the Forum !
                                            It's available from Didier's Depot and if you search by author [TIG] and 'Grow' there are several threads about it where I uploaded a version for convenience, there are also examples in some threads...
