[Plugin] Sketchup Ivy
-
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 linesrequire "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 fileLiveIvy.rb
con 'Notepad.exe' e vedere cosa dice.... Dovrebbe avere queste linee...
Se non il il file è danneggiatoYou 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...
-
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. -
Are there any error messages in Ruby Console as you do this ?

Hi,
I have exchanged the ivy files through the Wisteria files. The generation of Wisteria leaves works, but in the bush still appears ivy leaves. What do i wrong? I am grateful for any information.

TIG - there is no output at all in the Ruby console.
This is how my installation looks:-
\Library\Application Support\Google SketchUp 8\SketchUp\plugins\LiveIvy.rb
\Library\Application Support\Google SketchUp 8\SketchUp\plugins\LiveIvy\gui
\Library\Application Support\Google SketchUp 8\SketchUp\plugins\LiveIvy\Textures
\Library\Application Support\Google SketchUp 8\SketchUp\plugins\LiveIvy\LiveIvy_branch.rb
\Library\Application Support\Google SketchUp 8\SketchUp\plugins\LiveIvy\LiveIvy_leaf.rb
\Library\Application Support\Google SketchUp 8\SketchUp\plugins\LiveIvy\LiveIvy_node.rb
\Library\Application Support\Google SketchUp 8\SketchUp\plugins\LiveIvy\LiveIvy_tool.rb
\Library\Application Support\Google SketchUp 8\SketchUp\plugins\LiveIvy\LiveVector_core.rbThe GUI works, but the growing ivy doesn't. When I start to grow the ivy, I have the usual snap cursor. Is this what I'm supposed to see? Does this have a special cursor or some kind of visual indicator as to where to start the growth from?
Am I missing something basic?
-
The ../Textures/ file should also contain this? and the ../gui/ folder this?
-
Yes, those are all present. Should have confirmed this at the time - sorry!
-
I suggest you revisit earlier posts in the thread and see what the optimum settings are for the dialog...
-
hello ....i tried your plugins but i don't have leaf only branch....the version is 0.6.3

C:/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 6/Plugins/LiveIvy/LiveIvy_tool.rb:233anyone got solution?

After v6
model.start_operation('name')
can have additional arguments
e.g.model.start_operation('name',true)
- which now means it doesn't try to regen the screen and slow things down unnecessarily.
However, v7/8 tools that use this improvement then run the risk of crashing v6 as it's not then compatible code.
Most authors add a trap to allow backward compatibility - this author hasn't!
The way to fix it for your v6 installation is this.
Open the file displaying the error - helpfully shown in the error messageC:/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 6/Plugins/LiveIvy/LiveIvy_tool.rb
using a plain text-editor like Notepad or Notepad++ [NOT a wordprocessor].
Make a backup copy if you expect to mess up!
Find the lines saying
Sketchup.active_model.start_operation "BuildIvy", true
and change it to read
Sketchup.active_model.start_operation "BuildIvy"
and because it occurs twice, also find
Sketchup.active_model.start_operation "BuildLeaves", true
and change that to read
Sketchup.active_model.start_operation "BuildLeaves"
Save the file and restart/retry...
It should then work with v6.
If you have v7/8 use the unedited version because it'll be faster... -
i tried to open the ivyleaf_1 2 and 3 on SketchUp 8 then bug splat appears. this maybe the reason why some users cant produces leaves on the vines, like myself i can only make branches.
-
Have you installed all of the supplied files in the correct subfolders within Plugins etc? Do you have a 'leaf type' selected in the dialog?
Are there any error messages in the Ruby Console when you run the tool?
Clearly it doesn't Bugsplat! all of the time as you managed the screen-shot
What are the settings you used to get that far ?
