      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.

      Then copy and rotate various frons to thicken up the folage...GrowTest03.png
      Then do a little 'Fredo' bending....

      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.

                    Thank you kindly for your persistence.

                      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‘

                              I'm not finding it easy to find it - is it this? http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=20195&p=168380&hilit=+grow#p168380

                              It'd be best if it was in a thread by itself and not buried inside another thread.

                                  Perhaps we could start a new thread to resurrect it - next week ?

                                  That would be good.
                                  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...
