[Plugin] Sketchup Ivy

Didier Bur

Hi Pierreden,

@didier/dbalex/gaonirico: Are you using SU8 (im actually not sure if this is an requirement)? Mac Windows? Any console messages when you start a new model and then starts the plugin?

I'm using SU8 Pro on Windows XP and 7. No console message at startup.
Maybe there's a problem within the Pdn Materials class/module ?
Keep on the good work !
Regards

Hi Pierreden. I am using SU8 on Windows 7. Not appears me messages of console when beginning.

dbalex

same as the others: sketchup 8 and windows 7, Thanks for your work on this one, it's getting better and better!

I like how fast the plugin is already developing, thanks for the hard work.
Any reason Ivy keeps growing on all my unresolved design spots? Maybe a bug

What a wonderful plugin! I always wanted to grow some ivy directly into SketchUp!!! Thank you Pierre!

I'm here to report strange behaviours too: when I call the Ivy menu, the SkIndigo material panel is opened too (sketchup to Indigo plugin). Also, as some others noted, I can't see any textures applied to the geometry.

I'm running on WinXP and SketchUp7.

Thank you Pierre!

Is it just me or does everyone have a problem with JPP now? When I delete the Ivy plugin then JPP works, with Ivy it hangs.

@Pierreden:
...when i select it from plugins sub-menu nothings appear(no menu) & selection(mouse left button) stops working ,and it can't be deactivate from plugins sub-menu.until i select a tool from toolbar..and then it makes it deactivate!
it's a complicated situation that i can't explain in better way !

gaonirico

It happens me the same thing that 66searcher. It can be a conflict with other plugins

Actually it's a combination of three plugins, e-onlumenrt.rb seems to mess with ivy, ivy and lumenrt mess with JPP, however if I remove lumenrt then ivy and JPP work.... strange.

Pierreden

@66searcher/gaonirico: Thats not good. Uploaded a new fix (0.5.1). test it out.

@solo: Thats very weird. The only thing i can think of is that LumenRT adds an observer to something. Checked out JPP's source and cant find any sheared namespaces or anything.... Any suggestions?

solo

It's lumenrt that's the culptrit. no problems now that I deleted it.

I reported this to them on the e-on software beta forum.

Mnn, maybe two errors: the first
quietly_force_sync_mats_cb just calledquietly_force_sync_mats_cb just calledquietly_force_sync_mats_cb just calledquietly_force_sync_mats_cb just calledquietly_force_sync_mats_cb just calledquietly_force_sync_mats_cb just calledquietly_force_sync_mats_cb just calledquietly_force_sync_mats_cb just calledquietly_force_sync_mats_cb just calledquietly_force_sync_mats_cb just calledERROR: skpHelperClasses.rb:updateSkpMaterial, unable to find a material called: Ivyleaf_21
ERROR: skpHelperClasses.rb:updateSkpMaterial, unable to find a material called: Ivyleaf_21

... the second and but notable is that not takes me the changes of parameters in the menu

Pierreden

It seems like Sketchup cant find the correct material, which is "Ivyleaf_2" (it looks for "Ivyleaf_21"), or that vray looks for the wrong one. Does this happen every time you make an ivy, or does it happen on special actions? Cant recreate this myself. After completely uninstaling and reinstaling the plugin, i dont get any errors with sketchup nor with vray

(I appreciate your debugging very much gaonirico!!)
