      Hello. Any chance for something for us mac users?

      ? This plugin should be usable for OSX users... Are you getting errors?

          Thanks Dave. I'd be surprised if it didn't. Now we can only ponder what the question was related to...

                That doesn't seem to be related to this plugin. It refer to a "window style.rb" plugin that tries to load "windows/api.rb".

                      I keep getting the message windows cannot open this file. When I try to have it select from a list of programs, it takes me to a bunch of PC cleaner sites. Any further direction?

                        Hi Katie,

                        You do not need to open or run these rb files (but if you are interested, open them with notepad as they are simple text files).

                        Simply copy the file into your plugins folder:
                        C:\Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 8\Plugins
                        or
                        C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Google SketchUp 8\Plugins
                        on a 64 bit Windows, restart SketchUp and you are done.

                        Some more complex plugins consist of several files so they are usually distributed zipped in an archive. See this topic how to deal with them:
                        http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=35746

                        Cheers and welcome!

                        Gai...

                          Changed the download to be a RBZ file only - and with screenshot description of how to install from within SketchUp.

                                Hi Thomas,
                                I am brand new to SketchUp, so forgive me for having no idea what I am doing! I have been reading through the forums with all the amazing plugins available, so I am anxious to get started. First plugin in I want to load is this one for sure. I followed your step by step install instructions, easy enough, but SketchUp is not accepting the plugin. It says:

                                "SketchUp was unable to install the Extension you have chosen for some unknown reason.

                                Consult your Extension's documentation for additional help."

                                I am using Mac SketchUp Pro 8. Any ideas? Am I missing something?

                                Thanks!
                                Chris

                                  Do you have full read/write permissions to your 'plugins' folder?
                                  If not you will need to fix them.
                                  Here’s how I believe you modify permissions on MAC OSX, using the 'Info' window...
                                  [I'm on a PC !]

                                  • While using an 'administrator account'...
                                  • Click the folder's icon to select it.
                                  • From the 'File' menu, select 'Get Info'.
                                  • A dialog appears.
                                  • Click the 'disclosure triangle' next to 'Sharing & Permissions' to display permissions for the selected folder.
                                  • Click the 'lock' and 'authenticate' buttons as needed.
                                  • Use the menus next to 'users and groups' to change the permissions to 'read+write' for you [and * everyone else depending on your setup].
                                  • Use the 'cog' button to apply the changes to all contained files and subfolders/files as well...
                                  • When you’re finished, close the 'Info' window.
                                  • The changes are now current.

                                  On a MAC the correct folder path should be:
                                  macintosh HD//Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/plugins
                                  Note this is NOT the similar 'user' one...

                                    Thank you TIG for a prompt response. I will try this today and it sounds like it should work.

                                    While I have your attention, looking through your posts about the plugin you created for work planes, I don't see the actual download for version 2.3 or any previous version? Are the actual plugins you create in a different part of the forum/ site? Hen I clock on the corresponding link to the updated version, it just goes back to the same thread.

                                    Tks
                                    C

                                      Most plugins have their download link in their thread's first post, usually it's at the end of that post.
                                      ' WorkPlane' is no exception.
                                      See http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=274345#p274345
                                      Look at the end of that post and there's the archive WorkPlane23.zip to download and install... It's been successfully downloaded 3,088 times !
                                      A ZIP archive set of files etc is easily installed using the appropriate 'Simple Installer' option...

                                          What version of SketchUp do you have installed? Do you have the latest maintainense release - released last week? It mentioned it fixed from faulty permission issues.
