Thanks tak2hata for this new version - the preview is indeed useful (no need to experiment till I get what I need!)

Hi,

I've got SketchUP 8 pro, although it seems really easy to use this plugin, I don't get any fur...
I know which settings I should have, but when I click on assign to material, nothing happens...

any step by step explanation would be great!

thanks in advance.

Fur used to work for me. I didnt use fur for a while.Since then, i installed various plugins including the tgi3d amorph plugin.

Now it does not work.

It installed fine.

It shows up in my tool bar

I select face and click make fur with default settings but nothing happens. Even preview doesn't work.

I tried it on SU8 where i have only installed the TGi3d plugin, and it does not work.

This is an important plugin so any help is greatly appreciated

PS. Every other plugin works fine.

In rollout menu Make by Component select No instead fur_instance.

I tried that on both SU8 and 7.1 but it still does not work. I can click the 'make fur' button
a million times but nothing happens

Hi fuzzion.
now ,I couldn't find the solution for this problem.

I want to see the dialog of the "fur" on your computer.

and show "ruby console" before clicking the "make fur" button.
(showing "ruby console" is in "windows" in the menubar)
if it shows some error message when clicking make fur button,
I want to see it.

Thanks.

I had an older version that was working for me in SketchUp 7, can't remember what version it was, but I recently downloaded the newest version for my SketchUp 8 Pro (fur_en_15, I think it was called) and it's not functioning right. I get green dots instead of grass or fur. I'll post some screenshots for you.

In the meantime, I've copy/pasted the older furmaker into SKUP 8 and THAT is working, it's just growing the grass upside down.

whatever i try icant seem to make anything....
im trying to make simple grass like the example on page one, but im using a component. the mesh only gets rotated just a bit.
Also when i try it with plain geometry nothing really happens.
im using su6 on mac osx 10.5.6

First I want to say thank you for making this plugin

Regarding Ruby console, nothing shows up at all.
Only green dots appear on the selected plane.

Should I install an older version of Fur?
I have tried re-installing plugin into folders, but
that did not help. Should i re-install
Sketchup? Do you think another plugin is causing the problem?

PS. Is it possible for future releases to include make Hair with gravity ? Like create cylinderical shape with taper at the end.

Below is the screenshot .

I have the same results in Sketchup 8 Pro, they make some kind of dots that's it...

The old version works but I wish the new version works in S8. Thank you for your hard work.

the Plugins is awesome...

Hi:

Can you fix the problem with Sketchu 8 and works with other plugins or we need to keepp using the older version?....

Jim

After you see the green dots, press the ENTER key.

Can the settings be saved to the harddrive in a file to be shared with others?

tak2hata

Hi fuzzion,gr8fzy1,kalu and Jim.
I'm sorry about not visitting here recently.
Thank you very much for this solution.

In Webdialog,
"Preview fur" makes only green points for examining density.
"Make fur" makes furs.

In Inputbox,
"OK" button makes preview points everytime.
after that ,press Enter key to make fur.
or press ESC key to return Inputbox.

Hi,rombout.
Perhaps this is not solution,I think now.

The First Idea:
Make fur is only makes on faces.(and mesh)
When the mesh is in group or component and selecting group,MakeFur doesn't work.
Open the group and select faces or meshes.

The Second Idea:
That is bug.
I didn't solve the problem about webdialog in mac os ,yet.
If it does not make fur by using inputbox too,this problem is bug in recent version.
So I will upload older versions.

Thanks.

? Wondering if anyone familiar with the various settings could produce a PDF (or some other document type) that would explain and diagram each of the parameters. ?

JC,
Does THIS help at all?
