      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.

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

        Download the free D'oh Book for SketchUp 📖

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

            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.

                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?

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

                    hooorraaay.. yes its work.. basically we need to input the detail and spread on ivy tab..

                      Shame on me 😳 I don't understood what TIG says until now. The plugin works like charm.

                                There are some problems with the three ivy leaf skp files pre-provided...
                                The files are quite large because tif images were used; smaller png images with transparent backgrounds would suffice - these could be edited to fix this.
                                The other issue is that these skp files currently have the four sides of the rectangular face as regular edges, which will inevitably show up when imported as a component. If the original skp is edited and the four edges selected and made 'hidden' then the imported leaves will no longer shown them [unless of course view>hidden-geometry is 'on' when they'll look like dotted lines]... If you've already got some such leaves imported you can edit them in situ and make their edges hidden - as they are instances, editing one should edit all of its siblings...

                                    Why can't you edit the three files yourself they are inside the Plugin's subfolder ?

                                        Make sure that the texture's image file has a totally transparent background with ALL pixels completely transparent etc...

                                            o bad the script doesn't have rotation for the leaves. Something like a min and max, now it always looks really flat and evenly
