      Well, it's unfortunate that you didn't look at the thread on installing plugins first. You'd have found that the Plugins directory already exists so you don't need to create one. SketchUp comes with some files already included in the Plugins folder. πŸ˜’

                By far the best plugin I've seen. This reminds me very well of the Days at highschool when I practiced AutoCAD. Thank you very much.

                  Thanks everyone. Its nice to hear from people when it works, and not just from people who can't figure out how to install it. πŸ˜„

                      Upss ... I forgot to download "progressbar.rb" as they say in the beginning. perhaps this requirement should be highlighted or larger font.

                        It's bold and highlighted with the word 'Requires' in larger, red, bold text.

                          Ok, if it will help, I've gone ahead and made it bigger, bolder and redder! And I added another notice at the bottom of the page. So it says it at the top and bottom. Maybe this will help. Thanks,

                          Chris

                            HI Chris,

                            I have a problem with the shape bender tool. I select the objecy (group) and then hit the shape bender button. Then an arrow with a short line appears but it does not select the line the is on the red axis. Why? Please help!

                              Probably you installed it incorrectly. Please open the Ruby Console and then try to run shape bender again. It will probably write some errors. Please copy and paste those back here.

                                Another possibility is that you are 'above average intelligence' and that you have installed it correctly [you say you are getting the custom cursor etc which is a good sign πŸ˜„ and hopefully you have also installed the required 'progressbar.rb' script too to avoid the tool falling over a little later on πŸ˜• ]...

                                Perhaps your first line that you select [which must be parallel to the red axis and in the same context as the group you want to bend] might be touching some other geometry - it must be freestanding otherwise it can't be selected - the tool needs it to have no connected geometry. Similarly the 'curve' that you need to select next cannot touch other geometry either [the line/curve can touch the group or other groups/instances, but not each other, or other nearby loose geometry].

                                With these two possibilities addressed how does it perform... πŸ˜’

                                    Anthony, go back and read the first post of the thread and watch the video. Also read the first page or two. It has been explained quite well.

                                    If you still have problems using it, explain what happens when you try it. Show us your set up. Give us something so we can help you.

                                      Any chance there is a MAC version of this amazing plug in?

                                        Unless I have completely missed something (and am an idiot as not being able to find any reference), the plugin should work on Mac just as well as on Windows.

                                            Unless a tool says specifically that it's PC only then it should work on a MAC too.
                                            The worst that will happen is it won't work.
