      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?

          I am following what TIG says, about better test if the variable is NOT 'nil', then i try to fill a variable on the Branch Detail,...and voilaaa.... the Ivy appearing like it should and the SketchUpIvy0.6.3 can work very well now.

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

                      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

                                          Noobie to posting and to Ruby so I'm not sure if I'm missing something basic. I'm having similar issues to others in 0.6.3beta. The only error I see is:

                                          "Error: #<ArgumentError: Cannot find material named ivy_stem>"

                                          I've checked my Textures folder (the properly saved one for SU7.1) and all the filenames are consistent. Is this an issue that needs to be solved in the console???

                                          Any insight will help...Thx
