        I am not sure the how the DOWNLOAD works on your site for the Align&Distribute script and how the script's files should be organized in the user's SU/Plugins directory structure.

        Please advise.

        Thanks, John

        In the case of Align & Distribute, the plugin and supporting files are contained in a zip file. Extract them to the Sketchup Plugins folder or where ever you prefer.

        Sam, I am guessing that John is seeing the same thing I do when I go to your page listing the plugins you've written and click on "Plugin" for this one. It looks like this:
        Screenshot - 2_26_2014 , 4_38_51 AM.png

        It looks like the contents of the ZIP file but there's no sign of the ZIP file itself. I've seen this with some of your other plugins as well although I haven't looked through them all.

        Clicking on File>Download gets the ZIP file but it isn't all that obvious. I expect he was expecting to see a hyperlink like Align and Distribute.zip.

            Are you preselecting the objects you want to align?

              Make sure the folder 'AnD_Support_Files' that is in the zip file is extracted to the plugin folder also. And check that you have the folder security permission set correctly.

                  this works, the tool loads and works now, but looks like there is something messy in the dialog box... baybe some other missing file or something? 😐

                    see the 4 radio button for each direction as opposed to the 3 radio button for each row in your screenshot.. also look at the "N/A" slots i think they are not normal.. πŸ˜•

                      Now having played with it a bit I can see it isn't functioning as it should.
                      Spacing works and selecting the key component works, but the radio buttons for alignment don't work.

                                NO! Senility!!

                                I have posted a "corrected" version of Align & Distribute plugin on my blog.

                                I had created a second version when some one requested the ability to just distribute, or not aligned, N/A. So when I updated the posting, I unfortunately got the plugin and the support files mis-matched. That is why the radio buttons didn't work.

                                When you click on the plugin link, you will get a list of the contents of the zip file. This is not my choice but just the way Google Drive handles things. Click File and select Download. When extracting the contents of the Zip file, it is only important that the AnD_Support_Files folder be a sub-folder of the folder containing the plugin whether that is the SketchUp Plugins folder or some other.

                                Normally you will want to pre-select the Components and/or Groups that you want to align and/or distribute but, if you don't, you can select the individually by left clicking on them and pressing the Shift key when done. To change the selection, press Shift and repeat the selection process.

                                Nothing is worthless, it can always be used as a bad example.
