[Plugin] Sketchup Ivy

gianpier1

i´m using ivy 0.6.3 to SU 8.0. but i didn´t find ivy 0.6.5. Neve i can´t see the leafs man
not understand because the leaves do not work when I press SHIFT, the vines are also up.
Thanks man

For me its sometime works and sometimes not. Cant put my finger on it. Mostly stops working when using shift click. If it means anything, I can see the google and standard tool bar ghosting when I hit shift click using ivy 0.6.3

Any developement? This is such a wonderful program to let go. Does anyone have it working consistently in sketchup 8?
Shift click seams to be the problem. Its not making the leaves.

lapx

Anyone else have consistent success with the plugin? Might it be in conflict with other scripts?
Would love to use it on this current project...

Its working now. If I can just find out why its not working in some cases. The only thing done differently that I can think of is shutting down the computer and reactitvating sketchup_ivy.

When you extract the files/folders from SketchupIvy.0.6.3.beta.rar you should have a file called LiveIvy.rb and a folder called LiveIvy [which contains several files and sub-folders].
Put the LiveIvy.rb file and the LiveIvy folder into the Plugins folder.
Do NOT move files from the LiveIvy sub-folder into the Plugins folder - if you have done that, then move them - it will probably break otherwise.
This is what should be in this LiveIvy sub-folder... IT: Quando si estraggono i file/cartelle da SketchupIvy.0.6.3.beta.rar si dovrebbe avere un file chiamato LiveIvy.rb e una cartella chiamata LiveIvy [che contiene diversi file e sottocartelle].
Inserire il file LiveIvy.rb e la cartella LiveIvy nella cartella Plugins.
NON spostare i file dal LiveIvy sottocartella nella cartella Plugins - se avete fatto questo, poi spostarli - sarà probabilmente rompere il contrario.
Questo è ciò che dovrebbe essere in questo LiveIvy sottocartella...

tanks for reply.
there is another problem:

Errore di caricamento del file LiveIvy.rb
can't convert nil into String

Have you done ALL of the fixes that I suggested?
The error message is incomplete.
Can you post the full message...
Hai fatto TUTTE le correzioni che ho suggerito?
Il messaggio di errore è incompleto.
Puoi inviare il messaggio completo...
It may be that that you have to enter values into all dialog boxes - even if '0'...
Può essere che che è necessario inserire i valori in tutte le finestre di dialogo - anche se '0'...

yes, I followed your instructions. The attached images show the folders located.
The error message comes up when the program starts.
Also, when I start the script, the window does not shows me any command.

Please open the file LiveIvy.rb with 'Notepad.exe' and see what it says.
It should have these lines

require "LiveIvy/LiveVector_core"
require "LiveIvy/LiveIvy_branch"
require "LiveIvy/LiveIvy_node"
require "LiveIvy/LiveIvy_leaf"
require "LiveIvy/LiveIvy_tool"

If not the the file is corrupted
Si prega di aprire il file LiveIvy.rb con 'Notepad.exe' e vedere cosa dice.... Dovrebbe avere queste linee...
Se non il il file è danneggiato

You could type/copy+paste the five ' require...' lines into the Ruby Console in turn and see if the tool then works.
Si potrebbe digitare/copia+incolla il cinque ' require...' linee in Console Ruby, a sua volta e vedere se lo strumento funziona allora.

Now it works.
Wrong with the folders...sorry
thank you very much

Hi,

A nice tool, it works beautifully, thanks. What I still do not understand is, how can you change the twigs and leaves. Would someone kindly explain this for example with the Wisteria Bloom from Adam (Eartmover). Thanks in advance.

Sorry guys, when I start SketchUp with the plugin correctly installed I get an error message: "Error Loading File LiveIvy.rb Can't insert empty component." Then, sketchup starts with no problems but the plugin works oddly: multiple clicks often do not produce an incremental growth, and similar...

How can I fix this? Sorry to bother...

TIG

In the Textures subfolder within the Plugins folder you should have various files like this
Check that the .skp files exist and that they each contain something!

Mmf - not working on Mac Lion with SU8...

I have the latest version of SU Ivy, the files are in the right place, the menu is there, the dialog pops up and works fine.
It's the clicking and drawing that doesn't seem to be working.
