I used to use this extension a few years ago to make my custom trees, but I have lost them all in a computer crash, and now on my new computer (latest windows 10, sketchup 2017) I can not change the trees at all!
The extension installs and loads trees, but after I make a change and click redraw, it just never does:(
I would very much like to remake my trees, so any help would be nice!

Je suis très content de découvrir toutes les possibilités de Sketchup. Merci pour cette extension. Je la recommande.

Did you ever get this to work

Did you ever get this to work for you? I am on windows, not mac but I have what sounds like the same problem. I can use the trees, but if I try to use the "Tree Configuration" nothing works. Also, the trees are always covered in black boxes, around every cluster of leaf there is a black box. There are so many black boxes the tree just looks black... and dead...

I emailed the 3D Arc Studio asking for help and have not gotten a response yet...

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone is having issues with their trees not redrawing after changing a few parameters. I changed the height to see if the model updated, but unfortunately it did not.

I'm using Sketchup 2017 pro. After reading previous comments, I'm assuming it has to do with the extension's comptability with the SU 2017? Please confirm, and perhaps give an update on the issue, as it'll help me figure out with my workflow. Thanks in advance!~

I am also having an issue

I am also having an issue with changing parameters in SU 2017 pro. The program seems like it would be very helpful but It will be a challenge if I can't change the height of the tree. I have no problem paying the 10 license fee, but want to make sure it will work first.

Thank you!

Plugin creates grass, trees

Plugin creates grass, trees etc no problem. Also seems to create proxies when the box is checked. I have a problem however when trying to render 'proxies' with Maxwell render. Nothing shows. I have export proxies enabled in the Maxwell scene manager. I notice that in the component dialogue however the grass/trees/ flowers etc are not labelled as proxies?? Is this an issue. Tried on both SU2015 and 2016.

Any help appreciated.

The same problem with SU 2017

The same problem with SU 2017 + v-ray. Proxies seem to be a fake...

This looks like a great

This looks like a great plugin. Unfortunately, I get the sense it's not compatible with SketchUp 2017. I've installed the plugin but all I get is a dialog box with "Choose a tree type" pull-down menu that doesn't work.

I'm on an up-to-date Mac. Looks like this doesn't work.

HI Elizabeth,

plugin works fine when rendering geometry. Have tried both Maxwell and Thea render. My issue is (was) with the proxy feature - to keep my model light. I'm also on a PC btw.

I have just googled this...found what I think was my problem. Toggle between the far right icon (Redraw) and the 2nd from right icon (proxies).

I'm using it in Sk 2016pro . I have 2017 but have not tried the plugin there yet. (Only have a license for Maxwell 3 - no 2017 support)
Good luck.

Thanks for the info....

Thanks for the info.... although I am not sure I completely understand all of it lol. I am VERY NEW to SketchUp. I have been and AutoCAD user for more than a decade and am just now trying out other programs.

I have SketchUp 2017 Pro (trial version), I am 2 days into my trial. I see you said something about Maxwell 3, I have no clue what that is.... my 3D Tree Maker still does not work right... I wonder if there is a way to download older versions of SketchUp? I am thinking maybe 3D Tree Maker is not compatible with 2017 yet.... Maybe if I used an older version of SketchUp then the plugins I need would work....?

I installed it into Sketchup

I installed it into Sketchup 2017 last night and it worked ok. The install process states that it's not listed as compatible with 2017 and there may be issues but so far so good. I can always uninstall if something goes awry.
