to make it work on VISTA, WINDOWS 7 run SKETCHUP AS ADMINISTRATOR
step by step:
1 rightclick on sketchup icon
2 select run as administrator
3 agree to yellow popup window
sketchup will startto get flat voronoi net:
- create some points (use projections plugin) they will be created on xy plane
- select all points and convert to group
- select group and copy vertical (no matter how high you place copy)
now you have two identical groups of points one above the second
- select both groups
- select menu plugins>qhull>voronoi> selection free
the voronoi tesselation will show up between point selections
done!works for me, I hope will work for you

One has to find all the exe files that comes with the plugin, right click the files -> Properties and press the Unblock button. This is because Windows blocks executables downloaded from the internet.

Any chance of a Mac version? There is a Mac version of Qhull here:- http://www.math.sunysb.edu/~sorin/online-docs/qhull/qh-get.htm

I dont like to run as Administrator, so I searched an other "safer" way...
This is my solution for Windows :
- Move the qhull directory form the SU plugins directory to the root of (I dont like to put something in the root of C:, but I prefer to run as admin )
- In the SU plugin directory edit the qhull.rb and change
def self.initialize @qhull_path = Sketchup.find_support_file("Plugins/qhull") @qhull_path = @qhull_path + "/qhull-2003.1" end
to
def self.initialize @qhull_path = "c;/qhull/qhull-2003.1" end
... and all works fine !
Edit 02/2015 :
This solution for windows is now obsolete since the plugin directory is in the User/AppData folder, no more authorization needed.

This plugin must be updated with Qhull 2012 for more stability on Win 64.
I did it for me, but I dont know if I can post it here... It's Avariant's plug, not mine -
I'm not a Mac user for years...
There is a MacOS portage of Qhull. There is some one to port the Qhull plugin on MacOS with it ?
