Does someone could confirm SU 2013 has or not better features to build user input data interfaces ? Or should I go any way with Applets and html code ?
No improvements whatsoever.
You can try a library Aerilius-onscreen-gui. That is what He has doneto improve things.

how many faces? this is the important thing. leaves should be substituted for quad face PNGs.

This is after running cleanup.

Sorry for the following dumb question but I didn't take the time to read all the post or even try the plug-in yet...
All the leaves are components? -
yes

Dear all,
I’m really impressed by the number of interesting comments and feedbacks received on this plugin. And I really like the olive tree variations of Massimo. (Encourage everyone to publish their preferred trees made with the plugin).
Thanks to all of you. I will do my best to improve it in future releases, but as the plugin is free and not my job please be patient. I will need to learn more on dev.
Here are few bug corrections that include :- Reversed faces for the trunk and branches in order for face normals to point outward
- Changed the scaling function of flowers to be correctly handled by Thea (and other renders)
- Removed the ruby console
Version available on http://3darcstudio.com/en/downloads-files/sketchup-plugins/206-3d-tree-maker-sketchup-plugin
I carefully read all other comments and I’m looking how to integrate them in other devs.
Yours
Pascal
PS: script will be published into the Sketchucation Store, but not ready yet.

Don't feel rushed Pascal... This is an incredible contribution to the community. Very exciting.
-
Thanks for the very quick fix Pascal.

Hi Kris,
Sorry for that but I only tested it on SU8 as dev started after SU8 was available. Do not know what functions are not correctly supported by previous versions.
Do you get at least the menu in plugins ?
I you activate the Ruby console, do you get some messages in the console ?
Yours

I found the problem, perhaps due to a misspelling between lines = begin and = end, this is due only to a point out of place, just before = end, in my case, I have many plugins installed and thought it was due to one that caused the conflict, I tried an installation of SU 8 without additional plugins and charge well, it might be the WXP vs windows vista, in windows vista remove the point of the last sentence of the load file header specifically as follows:
original
AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
= end
new
AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE
= endin windows vista files are not loaded when I was at the end point of the line before = end, but in windows xp there was no problem loading the plugin
another thing I did was copy the contents of the folder directly in the plugins folder of SU 8

@archgrafix
Are you sure that the specified component SKP exists in the tool's subfolder?
If so can you open it in SketchUp?
If it is getting found, then the 'empty component' error suggest that is either 'empty' [i.e. it contains no entities] or most likely it's been saved as a SketchUp version newer that the version that your current Model is opened in ??
So for example, if the SKPs are v2013 and you try to use them in v8 it'll fail, or
if the SKPs are v8 and you try to use them in v7 it'll fail and so on... Older version SKPs can be used with newer versions of SketchUp, but not vice versa...
The tool's SKPs seem to ship as v8.
Have you edited them in v2013, or trying to use them in SketchUp v7 ?So, if you open/edit any component SKP - like those in the tool's subfolder - then be sure to use 'Save_as' on it to put it back as being for an earlier version of SketchUp: so that it is then compatible when inserted as a component in earlier versions that it has just been edited in...

Brilliant plugin, Pascal...and very configurable...both during and post production.
The tree on the left is a default Olive...but with simplified leaf geometry (down to 3 faces per leaf). It is now down to only 21,000 faces.
The tree on the right is another default Olive, but with even simpler leaves (1 face) but double the number of leaves; and minus all the small twigs. This is down to only 12,000 faces. It was only 7000 before I doubled the leaf count (by simply selecting the foliage group, duplicating and rotating it.)
