      Don't worry about sounding like a noob - after all we are in the Newbie Forum (and we all had to start somewhere).

      Anyway, I'm not a Mac user so I'm not sure everything will work the same way;

      If you click on the script and it returns the code, you can select all and copy > Paste it into a simple text editor (not a word processor!) then save it under the Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Google Sketchup 6/SketchUp/Plugins folder with the exact name it has on the site.

      You can (on PC) also just right click on the link and save it to the same place but with rb extension.

        For the easy spirals, download the drawhelix.rb as well (it also has several versions).

                  you are 100% totally right. I just discoverd that one solution just leads one to the next problem/challenge. Should I continue my quest for help and knowledge in this thread or open up a new one?

                  Here´s the "handdrawn" sketch of what I want to/have to create today.

                  I now got the spiral thing down, but how to get the thing to extrude the
                  way I want it?

                    OK, before we proceed, download skin22.zip as well and unzip its content to the same folder.


                    Edit: I will split this part of the topic off the original one.
