      Thx guys, i downloaded the Indigo core and its working now! 😍
      Although when i render it exports the image to "C:/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 6/Plugins/renders".
      The logical thing to do would be to go to program files, open google folder, google sketchup folder, plugins folder and then...renders folder...i dont have a renders folder! Is it not a folder, but i dont see anything that says "renders"
      If you have had the same problem before please tell me how you fixed it:D
      How come it all has to be complicated....

      Hard to think of what to put here, so I put this.

        Just now i actually found a renders folder but its no in "program files...." actually its where the "indigo.exe" is, but even after i rendered my file, nothing there:S
        thought this info would give more details.
        thank you!

          Ok..i didnt notice that i had 32.bit operating system.
          so i downloaded the 32.bit one rather than the 64.bit. So when i press redner the Indigo pops up and tells me
          "Fatal Error.
          Failed to open XML Doc from path C:Program files/.....Plugins/defaults.igs.
          Failed to open file."
          I did a scan of my files ..again.. and no defaults.igs. Is it ANOTHER download that i have to make, or do u just make the defaults.igs? I wont do anything until i get reply because i dont want to mess everything up.
          Thank You!

            Downloading 32 bit was the right thing to do πŸ‘

            As for the default.igs, it should come in the indigo folder (the same place as the indigo.exe file.)

              The defaults.igs is not there.
              Should i download indigo again and see if the file is there, because i really dont see it.
              Maybe its somewhere else?

                Maybe you can try for yourself, download it and see if its there?

                  Yeah, download it again. It should be there.

                  The other thing to do is delete all the 'installed' versions of indigo and skindigo. Its surprisingly easy to mess things up when your playing around trying to get the whole thing to work.

                  much easier to start afresh.

                      Also, is it important that i ONLY put the indigo.exe into the plugins folder, because i just took the whole "indigo_v1.0.9..."folder into the plugins folder. But the SkIndigo and the SUpreviews are both in the plugins folder as well.

                        You dont need to touch the indigo folder, you can just leave it where it is.

                        And the file (including its extension) should be called default.igs

                            Try adding this file to the indigo folder.

                            Youll need to un-zip it, btw.

                                Now that i tested it, it tells me the same message as before except is says "plugins/defaul-settings.igs.
                                Failed to open file line 0, column 0."
                                This is strange, and sorry for all the questioning but this is reaaly strange:D
