Hi,
Got this error when using "make crowd" without having a "fur_instance" component in my model:

Error: #<TypeError: wrong argument type (expected Sketchup::ComponentDefinition)>
C:/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 7/Plugins/fur_en.rb:1272:in `add_instance'

I guess the script does not check wether the relevant component is in the model or not ?

It works OK if a "fur_instance" component is present.
After deleting the fur instance component, hit "CheckOnAll", and it is still there, and the makecrowd doesn't work anymore if I let its checkbox ticked.

Ive been using fur for a while ...with good results, and just loving it!!

However I've struck a problem as in the attached....it seems to be the cut off angle that is upsetting the geometry.....if I try a square or rectangular plane it behaves normally.

This is the translation of Make Fur to languaje Portuguese-BR (Brazil) by me.

Tak2hata would be possible in the next version, you increase the size of the buttons "Assign Material to" and "Get Stuff From." Is that in Portuguese, we have more characters in the translation and some letters may not appear on the icon (button).

You can see who is running smoothly letters with accents and numerical symbols.

Thanks paulowr.
I add language list on first thread.
I will increase the size of Buttons in next version.

Hi , Stu.
That happens in small value of "MaxNumber(/Face)" for the faces.
You should increase "MaxNumber(/Face)" enough.

Thanks.

Thanks Tak2hata, I boosted it up to 12,000!! and its fine now

Tak2hata I was wondering if you had considered including a random fur height function? I'm currently creating a random height tile/block/city generator... which is not finished yet.
See my RAND code snippet below.

if( $type == "Random + " )  
    
    group=entities.add_group
    entities=group.entities 
  
    1.upto($vpanes) do |i|
      x = ($vtile*i)+(i*$space)  
      1.upto($hpanes) do |j|
	    y = ($htile*j)+(j*$space) 
        
	o = $pt3.offset($hVec, y - $space).offset($vVec, x - $space)
    pt1 = o.offset($hVec, -$htile)
	pt2 = o.offset($vVec, -$vtile)
	pt3 = pt1.offset($vVec, -$vtile)
	#entities.add_cpoint o
	#entities.add_cpoint pt1
	#entities.add_cpoint pt2
	#entities.add_cpoint pt3
    face = entities.add_face o, pt1, pt3, pt2
    face.pushpull -($tthick+rand(20))
      end
    end
end #if

cheers!

Hi,all.
I update this to version1.4b.

cheers!

Thanks tomot.
But this plugin created preset file.
If I add new parameter, compatible with the old one is difficult for me.
If you want to use random size to component instance, please use crowd(webdialog).
and change value of "size jitter" as you like.

Thanks.

Hi guys,
I lost my dwg-import option after installing the plugin. Any ideas why this happened?

Hi Thomas,

re you sure you did not upgrade from SketchUp 7.0 to 7.1 (free) lately?

Mauhaus

Hi Gaieus

Thanx for replying
Yes, I have been running 7 (7.1.6859) PRO for some time now. The dwg-import option disappeared after installing it. Maybe I didn't install it properly?

I'm sure the install was made properly, however, the dwg/dxf import has been excluded from ver. 7.1 and onwards...
You need a seperate plugin...
Please check out the DWG/DXF import plugin for SketchUp 7.1 (Free)...

That would only be the free version Kim. The pro still has the "native" import option.

As you are not supposed to be able to install the free version on top of the pro, there can indeed be some problem.

However we are going off-topic here so Thomas, after you see my post here, I will split these posts and move the new topic created this way to the SketchUp Discussions > Bug reports subforum.

However you could try to reinstall your SU but really make sure to download the Pro version (again) to install it. Also, for the Mac version there was also a maintenance release after the main release of 7.1. A couple of fixes were made there so best is to go for sure...

TX for the great plugin, I love the idea of the crowedmaker.
But under OSX it does not work, the dialog panel is empty for the crowed option.

i downloaded the file and updated my version of sketchup. the file only shows up in my downloads and i can't open it with sketchup. i also enabled my plugins menu on sketchup and the only option that shows up is a "cost" option. How do i do this?

This file is compressed by zip.
First, You should extract this file with folder.
It includes
--fur_en.rb
--fur_en(folder include icon images)
and copy created files to plugins folder.
Read here.
