        Welcome jp261:
        Sketchup 8 is new and many plugins were designed based on either v6 or v7, unless otherwise noted. Some of these may not have been updated. Best to post your issue in the specific plugin thread/topic so that the author can respond and make suggestions and updates.

        I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

          Hi jp261 and welcome to SCF

          Please, write up a more detailed "report" about what is not working.

          When I first installed SU 8, I slimply copied all my plugins from the respective folder of SU 7 to that of SU 8 and except for one plugin (which has been fixed ever since) everything worked as expected.

          Gai...

            Thanks for the quick replies. I'm trying to get Housebuilder to work. I have created a new folder under plugins named Housebuilder and placed these three RB files in it: Housebuilder, Housebuilder_extension, Housebuilder Tool. Ive tried different variations of this as well as putting the RB files directly in the plugin folder. But I cant figure out how to open the tools in sketchup. I downloaded the files from Ruby Library Depot.

              Please, have a look at this topic (there is a new version of housebuilder there) although that might not fit your needs. However the author of this new version (and maintainer of the Ruby Depot as well) may be able to help you (I do not use this plugin myself).

              Post your question/problem there as he may not read all the posts in this subforum.

                      Glad to have found this forum.

                      I anticipate using SU far into the future for a project which my wife and I are working on. I look to be creating a city several times over to represent how it evolves through the years.

                      If there's anything I want, it is to figure out how to get other members of my family to be as enthusiastic about SU as I am! I know I will need as much help as I can get and I want them to be inspired to use SU as much as I want to.

                        Hi xpoferens and welcome to SCF!

                        I have similar ambitions (with my city). Have you checked this example out yet? (Download the Google Earth kmz file linked from the site). In GE, at the top left, there is the TimeLine slider...

                          Hi, my name is Lance, and I joined so I can learn advance modeling method and how to use SU. I am also a digital artist at deviantArt, using Paint.NET . So, I will be looking forward to learning how to use SU.

                            Welcome, Lance:
                            Be prepared to have your way of seeing the world changed forever. πŸ˜„
                            Because you will want to model everything around you.
                            If you happen to be handy with pencil and paper, 3d modeling will influence the way you draw, and most definitely the way you think.

                                Well, if I am not mistaken, that violin was made by this person . As far as I know him, he must have made it simply "hand stitching" (especially that it was in version 5 with lot less plugins than nowadays).

                                  Thank you so much for the swift reply, but pardon me for asking a silly question , may be cos i m new to it-----what is "hand-stiching" is it a plugin or manually draging and joining vertices and edges?? ❓

                                  Thanks

                                      Hi, I started Martin's "Edges to Rubies" tutorial prior to last summer. It seems like an excellent tutorial, but I stopped using it (and SketchUp) for the past 6 months due to other time commitments. I've waited so long to restart, that I think that I'll need to start over again to get my bearings. One initial directive that I was unable to resolve the first time that I started Martin's tutorial (and I'd like to get it right this time) is "How to Create a Working Directory". Martin suggests naming it C:\carrige_house -and that seems fine, but I'm not sure how I create this (file?). I have windows vista. I've tried Google, but that doesn't seem to bring up what I'm looking for. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Zach
