Removing Plugin Indigo Help Needed
-
As chris said you need to remove skindigo separately from indigo.
You need to go to your plugins folder (program files->google->sketchup 7->plugins) and remove the file skindigo_1_0_9.rb and the folder skindigo.
-
A render is complete when you judge it done.
As for the lack of buttons that is because you can do very little within indigo itself. All the settings are changed in sketchup and then exported to indigo.
-
This is weird, I did remove the files you mentioned but Google continues to search for it on start up. Weird.
I think I am going to install it again. Maybe I will use it, and for now it will keep Google from prompting me to find it every single time I open it.
EDIT:
So I installed 1.16 and now I have TWO Skindigo plugins in my tool bar...wow. I know I removed all the original plugins.
Regardless, its running now so this may just be my quirky setup for now. It doesn't seem to be a problem.

Ok, so I am rendering a few rail sections just to see how it looks. Its been about 45 minutes, I was planning on going to an hour. At that point ( running 1.1.16 )I can stop render and then use that rendering inside of SketchUp 7?
-
A render is just an image, so the only way you can use it in sketchup is to import it as an image.
-
Ah, I figured that but was hoping there was more to the story. Thanks for the help. I will leave my two Indigo tools on the bar, allow my SketchUp to be quirky and try to improve there before pushing the 3D renders. Thanks again,

I think you might be thinking about texture baking.
Render /create texture from render /apply as a texture in model ad infinitum.

I have a thought, one that bugs me non-stop. I see you are using Vista. Vista doesn't like to let programs actually put files inside the Program Files directory. So it puts them into a different directory and doesn't tell you. But the programs think they are actually installed where they are supposed to be, you just can't see them when you browse for them. Here's the solution:
Browse to the plugins folder. Then in one of the upper toolbars of the explorer window, there is a button called "Compatibilty Files". Click on that. That takes you to the actual directory that the scripts are installed in. You can select everything in there and cut and paste into your actual plugins folder.
I am guessing that you will find the skindigo rb files in the compatability files folder. Isn't that a super handy feature?

Wow...wow...wow.
Wow...
Well, problem solved. I actually installed 1.1.16 and ended up with two sets of Indigo icons on the toolbar. I couldn't seem to shake that .09...until now. Followed your directions and BOOM, one set of tools only now. So now if I wanted to get rid of the whole thing I could. Thanks for the help, now my SketchUp is no longer "quirky" with two tools for the same program.
I'm not sure I will use it much though. I have a 3GB RAM HP laptop with Pentium ( R ) Dual Core T4200 @ 2.0 GHZ and it seems like it takes forever to render. And I don't know if I want my laptop on for days to render a file.

Hello
I'm new at this, but I have the same problem - can't remove Indigo without getting a message each time I start SketchUp. I deleted the Indigo folder on my Mac and I see the instructions to remove it from the SketchUp plugins folder, but I don't have a SketchUp plugins folder!
Please tell me what to do.
Thanks!

did you find a fix for this problem? I removed Indigo and now have 2 pop ups every time I open sketchup, really annoying!

Which version did you have installed? How did you remove it?
