[Plugin] Sketchup Ivy

TIG

Can you try a clean reinstall of the tool, to be sure there are no legacy files.
Open the Plugins folder and delete the LiveIvy.rb file and the entire LiveIvy subfolder.
Now reinstall it from the downloaded RBZ or the SketchUcation PluginStore AutoInstall red-button.
Restart SketchUp and try the tool again.
What happens ?
What is your OS ? PC or MAC ?
Are you holding the modifier keys down while clicking ?
Are you clicking on a wall face ??

I reinstalled several times of course cleanly the plugin.
At the first clic (without modifiers keys) a very small pink line appears but nothing happens to the others click
however before suspecting a bad use....there was a display of a message of mistake of the program...no ?
PC OS : Windows 7 32 bits SP3 - and Sketchup 8 Pro.

Please look at your default settings.
These are the shipped set:

{
                ;nodesize    => 3,
                ;pattern     => 0.8,
                ;probability => 0.97,
                ;radius      => 0.8,
                ;floatlength => 150,
                ;detail      => 4,
                ;spread      => 0
            },
            ;leaf     => {
                ;pattern     => 1,
                ;probability => 0.7,
                ;size        => 5
            },
            ;gravity  => {
                ;weight => 1,
                ;vector => [0, 0, -1]
            },
            ;wind     => {
                ;weight => 0.1
            },
            ;random   => {
                ;weight => 0.3
            },
            ;adhesion =>{
                ;max_adhesion_distance => 50,
                ;weight                => 0.2
            },
            ;legacy   => {
                ;weight => 0.8
            }

Not all ot them will have dialog headings...
Please reset to those which do apply... and try again.
Remember that it might want the inpy value as 0.2 NOT 0,2 !!!

Thank you TIG, for your help...
But this plugin doesn't function with my configuration...
I uninstalled it.
Thank you again to have looked for the solutions to the problem
This last will be solved maybe at the time of a next update!
Best regards.

TIG

Did you try those default settings ?
Remember sizes are always entered in 'inches'...
And the decimal-separator is a '.' NOT a ','
If you get a small red line at the start it suggests it does start to work, but the settings are wrong...

do you see the javascript errors?

[Error] TypeError; undefined is not an object (evaluating 'a.browser.msie')
	(anonymous function) (jquery.tools.min.js, line 14)

I have seen reports, but I do not get those errors on my MAC.
The jquery.tools.min.js code is a standard library that should be IE and Safari compatible...
That is why I have previously asked MAC users OS and if they has the latest Safari installed etc...
Any other ideas ?
Look through the millions of www pages... it seems that newer versions of jquery like the one supplied deprecated $.browser, but the jquery 'tools' still expects it [v1.2.5 is included BUT v1.2.6 & ..7-dev is available BUT not readily downloadable yet] !
Some set ups simply absorb the error, others choke.
I'll look at a fix and get you to test it on your MAC...
EDIT: I did get hold of v1.2.6 BUT it broke the dialog's sliders etc, so that's no use...

I only see it with WebInspector, not as a SU error...
The missing pngs, aren't a big issue, but do point to some packaging anomaly...

happy to test as always...
john

TIG

Can you replace this main.html [ it's ZIPed for uploading purposes ] file in ../LiveIvy/gui folder.
I added some jquery code to reinstae the deprecated $.browser code, and it has some Safari tests etc...so that MIGHT fix it on MACs...

If it works I'll release an update...

main.zip

driven

still there...

[Error] TypeError; undefined is not an object (evaluating 'a.browser.msie')
	(anonymous function) (jquery.tools.min.js, line 14)
	global code (jquery.tools.min.js, line 14)

for your info, the latest Yosemite WebKit version...
SketchUp:
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_1) AppleWebKit/600.1.25 (KHTML, like Gecko) SketchUp/15.1 (Mac; Safari)
Safari:
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_1) AppleWebKit/600.1.25 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/8.0 Safari/600.1.25

so, currently they are both using the same WebCore...

john

TIG

Try this version of the same file.
I've changed the load order of the added code so it might be there before the 'tool' js raises the error...
Report back

main.zip

driven

nope...

[Error] TypeError; undefined is not an object (evaluating 'a.browser.msie')
	(anonymous function) (jquery.tools.min.js, line 14)
	global code (jquery.tools.min.js, line 14)

TIG

Bother !
I'll swot up on alternatives...

TIG

Please try this version...
Different js fixing code yet again...

main.zip

driven

Success, that got rid of the js [msie] error...

obviously, I still get the missing icon errors...
they are also called from jquery-ui.min.css as default images, but the folder is missing...

john

TIG

Thanks for your help.
I compile an update.
I'll also look at this image failure...

driven

one example is on line 7

.ui-state-default{border;1px solid #ccc;background;#f6f6f6 url("images/ui-bg_glass_100_f6f6f6_1x400.png")

maybe just add the images, they must have been culled at some point...

TIG

Here's an update 0.6.6xx http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=SketchupIvy
The jquery/js in the html is adjusted to prevent some load-errors, which were reported on some MAC.
Some missing [but unused] image files are also now included to avoid some odd jquery/ui/css errors...

Chisaina

It's a fine joke about version 0.6.6?
The archive is version 0.6.5. And she does not work correctly in the SU2014.
As bugs and leaves and with the lash. Very sensitive to changes in the settings. Please correct. Thanks in advance

You are mistaken.
It is 0.6.6xx - where did you get v0.6.5 ?
The LiveIvy::VERSION did report incorrectly, but it's now reset at 0.6..., so the sub-version updates shouldn't show in the dialog-header?
The dialog should show 0.6... - no more ?

In case you have mistakenly downloaded some older versions I have removed these from the initial posts.

Have you uninstalled any earlier LiveIvy.rb and the matching subfile with that name ?

You then need to reinstalled the full set from the downloaded PluginStore's RBZ, or AutoInstall it from the PluginStore dialog within SketchUp...

It works fine in v2014 and v2015 [AND v8 and v2013 !]

I do NOT understand your 'bugs/leaves/lash' comments.
It IS sensitive to changes in the settings, BUT it always was like that...

All I have done is make it compatible with newest versions of SketchUp, plus I added support for alternative ivyleaf_ SKPs etc...

EDIT: v0.6.7x is now available see a few posts after this...
