Got leaves!

Got to find how to get stem

Thanks to you oxer it works

I got Ivy growing ( no leaf yet...)

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.

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

I will try to update my ruby asap.

Sorry for this long absence, ( a long serie of "bugs" in my working life )

I've just tried the editing of the code with BBEdit cos it was not working on my mac.

My goal is to achieve a fast import of files exported from VectorWorks through the DWG plug-in.
I got a very good answer with your script but I hoped to get it one step beyond

(Please pardon me my bad english)

Maybe I could use this commandm=Sketchup.active_model;m.start_operation('c');m.active_entities.each{|e|next unless e.is_a?(Sketchup::ComponentInstance);n=e.definition.name;l=m.layers.add(n);e.layer=l};m.commit_operation

I encounter some errors at the script loading ( sketchup launch time )

Loading File import_from_folder.rb
/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/Plugins/import_from_folder.rb:89: parse error, unexpected '}', expecting kEND
}
^
/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/Plugins/import_from_folder.rb:124: parse error, unexpected kEND, expecting '}'
end#def import_from_folder
^
/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/Plugins/import_from_folder.rb:134: parse error, unexpected $, expecting '}'

I've tried a BBedit editing and I suspect some bad editing error. ( I am not a programmer as you can see )

I've tried to edit the code after sketchup launch and it works one time but only one.

Could you help?

import_from_folder.rb

Hi TIG,

Thanks for your plugin with is really useful.

I'd like to add an optionnal STAGE in your script.

Once a file is imported, i'd like to create a new layer named by reference to the file name with a suffix.
Let's say Wonka_Niv1
Then, Group all the freshly imported items on this new layer.
Then proceed to the next file.

Could you be kind enough to assist me?
