      I installed this:
      http://download.cnet.com/Driving-Dimensions-for-Google-SketchUp/3000-6677_4-10906912.html

      Then when I opened sketchup, I expected to see a View->Toolbars->DrivingDimensions, but it is not there. I see a Plugins/ldd directory - how can I load the plugin?

      Maybe someone knows if it is possible to do the following without the plugin:
      I want to draw a line, then tell it "you should be 1' long". This is how I typically work in SolidWorks, and it would be nice to be able to do this in SketchUp.

      Thanks,

      Dave

        draw a line any length and before you do anything else type 12 (default inches or whatever units your using)then hit enter. 😉

          Ah, so easy.. haha that wasn't in any of the tutorial videos!

          I guess I should still be concerned why the plugin didn't appear for future plugins sake?

              Since when does that require a plugin?

                  Hello daviddoria,

                  What version of SketchUp and Windows do you use? Could you please download the plug-in directly from our website and install it again:
