[Plugin] Make Fur v.2.1.0(20140323)

TIG

Are they really in the folder?
Do you have full security access rights to your Plugins folder?
Were all files left in the same relationship [subfolders etc] as in the RBZ [ZIP]?
Because you didn't bother to complete your User-Info we don't know your OS [although we can guess 64bit PC] or your SUp Version.
If you have SUp v8 or v2013 you could far more easily install RBZ files etc in several ways... avoiding any of the complications you outlined...

This kind of issue has been discussed many times, in many threads...

Hey tak2hata,

excellent plugin! It is fun to use and a great enhancement for SketchUp.

However, sometimes I find it a bit difficult to master. Therefore I have two ideas:

Some of the settings use units that are not very intuitive. The stiffness for example is measured in a undefined number. Or while the jitter options use percent, the direction and force options use meters (which can be difficult, so that one has to test a lot before achieving the right result).
I think it might be better to have those as a percentage as well (0% no effect, 100% full effect). Like that one can see a linear increase of the effect, which makes it easier to understand.
Some of the settings are not self-explanatory. Do you think it would be possible to add tooltips that show up, when you hover over the setting with your cursor for some time? You know, with a short description of what the setting does...

Would be great to hear your opinion on this...

I don't seem to be getting the results everybody else is. I make a grass square and make it a component, then I try to use the crowd maker and it puts the grass everywhere else other than what I have selected. Anybody else have this problem? Also, how do you get so much grass? My comp is no slouch and it virtually crashes whenever I try to get more than a little bit in view.

Hi,Sharkyzero.

I need to know your detail to help the problems.
Please upload screenshot of your model and crownd maker dialog.

Thanks.

Sharkyzero

I just realized something, Tak. I think the fact that I'm not using instances of the grass components is screwing with everything. Let me fiddle around with it some more and I'll see if I can't get it working the way I think it should.

tak2hata

Hi,Sharkyzero.
Good luck for fiddle around with it.
Please ask me when you didn't get it working fine.

Thanks.

Hi,chillotti.
I guess you didn't use autoinstall from sketchupucation store tool.
You must unzip the rbz file when you manually install it.
Change the extenstion name "rbz" to "zip".and unzip it.
"fur_en.rb" and "fur_en" folder will be shown.
Copy both to plugin folder.
And New Icon file "fur_en.rar" must unzip ,also.
Copy the created png file to "fur_en" folder in plugins folder.

Thanks.

This was working previously for me but there are certain components that dont seem to want to constrain the surface I select. The preview shows everything in the right place but then they appear randomly spread out in mid air over a huge area when I do it. Its only certain components with the same settings so I don't get it. Has anybody had this issue before?

Hi, wondering if someone could please help me.

I've been using make fur fine for the last while, but it has suddenly stopped working completely.

I know how to use it, but now when I push the Make Fur button, nothing happens. No collecting faces, nothing. I'm at a loss. Has anyone ever experienced something like this?

Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Dave R

Have you recently installed any new plugins that might be messing with this one? Maybe the Vray plugin or Sketchy Physics?

Nope, no new plugins as of late.

Was working earlier this week, now won't work whatsoever, no new plugins installed since.

Have tried everything I feel. Played with all the options, components, new sketchup files, restarting computer, blah.

Any other suggestions?

TIG

If you try using it with the Ruby Console open are there any error messages ?
Have you recently changed things that might have affected your Plugins folder's security permissions?
Select its icon, right-click > context-menu > Properties > Security > Edit... make sure every user/group listed has FULL read/write permissions ticked.
Apply/OK
Also select the SketchUp.exe icon and similarly: right-click > context-menu > Properties > Compatibility > Check the box 'Always run as administrator' > Apply/OK...
Restart SketchUp...
If it still fails to work...
In the ../Plugins/fur_en folder there's a file called fur_param3.ini, edit it with Notepad and delete all of the entries, then save it: now 'fur' should start on a SketchUp restart with its default settings...

tak2hata

Hi,ikeda and mjursevs.
Please do as TIG says.

Please tell me the detail of your problems,When still there were the problem.
Open "Ruby Console" in sketchup "windows" menu.
And Start "Fur".
when there is any message includes "error",
Please copy the all message and post here.

I have no materials of the inference for your problems.
Thanks.
