        Ah. it's the "hit Enter TWICE" thing. also, I made the newbie error of clicking in the small text entry box at lower right, which isn't necessary and actually seems to mess things up. I've just managed to get the tool to work and WOW. very nice animation. I enjoyed making my bubble "breathe" by fooling with the pressure values.

        now all of a sudden I'm having FEA dreams -- modulus of elasticity of various materials, and a realistic response to pressure. [just kidding, just kidding] thank you Pilou.

              Nah - put it in the Plugin folder. Still works there and it's where plugins should be. Tools folder is for Google Sketchup plugins. Regardless of that the SSB site says.

                If you download a zipped plugin, extract it. Then move the .rb-file (+ eventually a folder with additional files) all together as they are into the Sketchup/Plugins folder.

                  well i placed the files (both SoapSkinBubblefolder and the SoapSkinBubbleTools.rb file in the plugin folder... and tried it in the tools folder... still, i couldn't make it work. though i do see the soap and bubble plugin when I operate my SU, but whet i hit the button it just say timelimit finished.

                  maybe something wrong with my SU?

                    nah, you installed it right if you're getting that message.. you have an old version. soapskinbubble only works for a certain amount of time and then the developer extends the limit..

                    go here:
                    http://www.tensile-structures.de/sb_software.html

                    get version 1.0.9 which will work until april 2010

                      Yup, guys, SSB is "speacial" in the sense that it goes to the Tools folder (instructions clearly given on its site). I know that this is "extraordinary" but it is not our choice.

                      Please, also donate on the site if anyone can afford otherwise the developer is considering stopping the development (or making it a commercial plugin)
