[Plugin] Sketchup Ivy

TIG

please i need help..mine is not appearing under plugins and i have pasted it exactly in the plugins folder. iam currently using sketch up pro 2013.....a help wii be appreciated.

You have v2013 of SketchUp...
You do NOT 'paste' anything into the Plugins folder.
Use Preferences > Extensions > Install.... button to extract the contents of the RBZ file into the correct Plugins folder - all done automatically.
Since v8 this is the correct way to install RBZ archived plugins...
Most plugins come in that format - there is no need to ever open you Plugins folder !
Manually extracting and pasting files is a sure way of ruining your day...

ALSO, please be aware that not all plugins appear in the Plugins menu [aka Extensions menu in v2015]
In this case, the 'LiveIvy' tool appears under the Draw menu, and there is also a Toolbar of the same name too...

Thanks! Great Work! Can confirm the plugin is working in OSX Yosemite in sketchup 8.

There's an update...
http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=SketchupIvy
It only affects a few users with older versions of SketchUp etc.
It should now be glitch free in all versions from v8 to v2015...

Thanks for the bug-report.
It was an easy to find typo, although I can't see how it ever happened !
The latest version is available here http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=SketchupIvy I have checked it and it seems to work OK again...

TIG, Thanks for the speed

For me, only the toolbar and not the draw menu entry is working.

Is this with the very latest version from yesterday ?
Have you tried it with the Ruby Console open ?
Does it show the magenta branches [Click] ?
Does it show the green X markers for the leaves [when Alt+Click MAC] ?
On Shift+Click what happens ?
Any error messages ?

Oxer

On OS X 10.10.2 & SU2015 if you have Shift locked the plugin doesn't work, see if you have Shift unlocked because for me the plugin works fine.

TIG

Good tip Oxer.
If you have Shift locked you can't hold it + click to complete the Ivy ?
Works for other MAC users, so please try Oxer's suggestion...

Have you followed Oxer's advice about [un]locking-shift_key ?
You can also mess up some key-pressing if some aspects of the MAC's keyboard are mis-set !
Many other MAC users [including me !] have no issues... so it must be solvable...

SU 2014 Sketchup Ivy works fine, SU 2015 — bugs. On the same machine, on the same system, at the same time. keyboard and the keys are not modified

This is very weird.
There is no discernible difference between v2014 and v2015 Ruby, and the code is just the same on both !

Do you have different plugins between 2014 and 2015? A conflict?
