I made second instance of Sketchup, copied my model to the new file, and then Ivy works.
Strange - my project file must miss someting that Ivy needs... does anyone have an idea to what that could be?
Thanks
-
From your screenshot: material named "ivy_stem". I don't know that plugin, but maybe you purged it away?
-
Hi cotty
You are right about the matrials.
If i create a new project, the materials seems to be created, but if I open an old one project, the materials are not created.
-
It's frustrating... It works on my "stagiaire" windows PC and not on my mac!!!
What should I do?
The Ivy window open but clicking on the object as no effect ( as if I was using no tools)
Please help

For my experience, this may be due to haven't the ivy components when you open a new file, check in the Components Window to see if they are three when you open a new file, check the Materials window too.
I fixed the problem opening a file with ivy already generated and then delete it and save the file like my main template, IMPORTANT: Don't Purge the file.
PS: If you want to purge the model before save the template, do it before delete the ivy. -
Thanks for your fast reply Oxer
Unfortunately I got the components and the materials loaded in the "new file" and it do not work.Could you send me a file loaded with some ivy? I would try to use the tool in your file.
-
This is the file with the Ivy included:
If it works for you, delete the ivy and the square and save it like a template, remember DON'T PURGE the model.
PS: I work on Mac and the unique version that works for me is 0.6 beta.

Thanks to you oxer it works

2. Cmd+Click : Makes grow the Ivy in the direction of mouse.
3. Alt+Click : Makes grow the Leafs.
4. SHIFT+Click : Finish the Ivy.
5. i Key : Resume. -

Hello guys. I have been having problems with this amazing plugin.. version 0.6 did work for a few hours, but after turning the laptop again it only gave me errors. Other version didn't give errors, but they didn't do anything either, only 0.6 allowed me to play with the Ivy Generator!!..
Anyway, this is a screenshot of the errors that i get after a click.
Working on Mac.

Hi
Each time i start a new file the Ivy components are present even when i haven't used tool. Not a big issue, but it would be good if these could be added only once you run the plugin.

This is a known limitation, as it loads them as it is loaded, not as it is used...
This is how to fix it...
In the../Plugins/LiveIvyfolder find the fileLiveIvyTool.rb
Open it with a plain text editor like Notepad or Notepad++ on PC, or TextWrangler on MAC.
Find line #351 near the end that reads:
LiveIvy::IvyTool.load_definitions
add a#to the start of it so it doesn't load, thus:
#LiveIvy::IvyTool.load_definitions
Now to get them loaded as the tool is used, edit>copy the text:
LiveIvy::IvyTool.load_definitions[NO#]
and go up to line #10 which says:
def initialize
Add a new line below it, and then edit>paste:
LiveIvy::IvyTool.load_definitions
That will now load the definitions as the tool is first used, or subsequently if you have purged the definitions etc...Save the file and restart SketchUp to see the changes...
Another possible tweak while you are at it...
In the same file, around line ~#298 it says:
#path = File.join(pathname, 'Textures/ivyleaf_1.skp') pathname = Sketchup.find_support_file "ivyleaf_1.skp", "Plugins/LiveIvy/Textures/"
and also below in two similar blocks of text, at lines ~#303/#309***: this code means that the tool only works if you install it into the default Plugins folder, so if you really want it to also potentially run from elsewhere, then swap the #'d around AND change some of the text, so it reads.
path**name** = File.join(**my_**pathname, 'Textures/ivyleaf_1.skp') **#**pathname = Sketchup.find_support_file "ivyleaf_1.skp", "Plugins/LiveIvy/Textures/"
repeat for the other two blocks of code***
AND then also remember to change line earlier on. in ~#294 from:
pathname = File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__))
to read:
**my_**pathname = File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__))
so that it looks into the correct folder. -
Thanks for the info!!

Hello, guys..
I just reinstall my windows and decided that I'm going to use SU2014Pro from now on.Before in SU2013, this plugin works nicely. I added the texture from gilles63 and it's beautiful. Great works by Pierreden and gilles63.
The problem occurred when I install it in SU2014, I copied the plugins in the Plugins folder in C:\Users(my name)\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2014\SketchUp\Plugins
(where the new directory for plugin folder in SU2014), but then this error message appeared (see attached)What do I do wrong? It this problem caused by the new directory Trimble put up for Plugin folder in SU2014? If yes (and/or if not) how can I fix this?
Thanks a bunch..

Hi Sukmoduto,
Did you try not to copy files from SU2013 plugin dir but downloading and installing new plugin version ?
Looks like you are using an old version not compatible with SU2014.
(Line 28 does not exist in liveIvy.rb of the last version).
Yours
