      Hello Sketchup Friends!

      I found this cool project in github that will let you play around with perlin noise.

      Link Preview Image
      GitHub - huseyinbicen/Sketchup-Ruby-3DTerrain-via-Perlin-Noise: Here we tried to simulate mesh grid-based earth shapes in 3D. For this purpose, perlin noise is used to achieve similarity to real life.

      GitHub (github.com)

      It says in the installation instructions to add the files in the "lib" folder to the "Ruby library."

      Then gives this example:

      1-) C:\Program Files\SketchUp\SketchUp 2015\Tools\RubyStdLib Open Directory 2-) Move the "perlin_noise.rb" and "perlin" files in the "lib" folder to the directory in step 1.

      But I have no such folder in my directory trees for Sketchup.

      
      ./Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2017
      ./Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2017/SketchUp
      ./Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2017/SketchUp/Materials
      ./Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2017/SketchUp/Plugins
      ./Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2017/SketchUp/Styles
      ./Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2017/SketchUp/Components
      ./Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2017/SketchUp/Autosave
      ./Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2017/SketchUp/Classifications
      ./Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2017/SketchUp/Templates
      ./Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2017/WebCache
      ./Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2017/WebCache/GPUCache
      ./Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2017/WebCache/Dictionaries
      ./Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2017/WebCache/Local Storage
      ./Library/Caches/com.sketchup.SketchUp.2017
      ./Library/Caches/com.sketchup.SketchUp.2017/fsCachedData
      
      

      As for Ruby the language, I could only find these dirs

      
      ./.gem/specs/api.rubygems.org%443
      ./.gem/specs/api.rubygems.org%443/quick
      ./.gem/specs/api.rubygems.org%443/quick/Marshal.4.8
      ./.gem/ruby
      ./.gem/ruby/2.3.0
      ./.gem/ruby/2.3.0/cache
      
      

      Can anyone tell me where I might put these perlin noise filees so they could be used by Sketchup 2017?

      Thank you for any hints
