if only i could use it

It's well worth pursuing,

some things to check...

do the .skp files in the LiveIvy/Textures folder open on there own?

have you removed all the other versions with different names?

what version of osx are you on?

Has anyone been able to get the 0.6.3 version to work?

I got it working on the mac by separate loading,

If you do a dif on the two files you can swop things over one at a time and see when it breaks,

one thing to play with is commenting out the mac bit line 71 if key == 73 #|| key == 105 # i

Those of you with problems: can you post more info to what isn't working. "Not working" is like going to the doctor saying "I'm ill, fix me."

Please be specific by what isn't working (lack of menus, errors, or unexpected behaviour). Also keep the Ruby Console open so you can see if any error messages appear.
System information such as OS version and exact SketchUp version also helps.

Current problem on ver 0.6.3 on SU 8 at mine:

When i press alt + click, sometime ivy doesn't follow the direction i clicked.
Some time it doesn't react as it is supposed to be when i press ctrl + click (to grow leaves)
And the most problem.. it just won't finished when i press shift + click, so it never generated the ivy.

but when i used ver 0.5.4, it's all work perfectly..

In the script's line #20 [..branch] and line #244 [..tool] [and probably other lines too ] there is some arithmetic where something that's 'nil' is subtracted from something else and so it returns an error...
Either put these parts into begin...rescue...end traps so the error won't trip up the script OR better test if the variable is NOT 'nil' and setting it to say 0 if +or- or 1 if *or/ - e.g. xxx=0 if not xxx
The tools could be trapped to return at least something 1-seed.params[:branch][:spread] will fail if NOT seed.params[:branch][:spread] (i.e. it's nil)...
LiveIvy.seed is defined as @@seed which in turn is defined as ' self'
which in turn has params which have :branch and :spread... BUT somewhere some of these aren't getting set to 0 [or 1 ?] as a safety net ??

O.K. This is embarrassing.

How do I open the .rar file? Do I just drop it in my plugins folder or do I need to do anything else such as extracting it somehow. I downloaded it right to my plugins folder and it doesn't seem to be showing up.

Rich O Brien

.rar is a different compression format. Use 7zip or PeaZip to uncompress and then place in plugins folder

So I have to download an extractor? Then I would extract it the same as I would a .zip? Alright. Thanks.

@unknownuser said:

Yes, Windows doesn't extract .rar and many other compression types. Anyway either of those i posted are great alternatives to have.

Yep. Thanks. I got PeaZip seems to work well and looks like a useful tool.

SketchUpNoobie

I haven't read through the whole thread so please forgive me if this has been asked and/or solved before.

I play around with my ivy until I am satisfied but when I Shift+Click to create the actual geometry, nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong? I am running SketchUp 7 on Windows XP and have SketchUp Ivy version 0.6.3. I know you said this isn't tested on SketchUp 7. Is this my problem?

SketchUpNoobie

Nevermind. Works fine in SU 8. Really is a bummer though. Will there ever be support for version 7?
