        Anthony, go back and read the first post of the thread and watch the video. Also read the first page or two. It has been explained quite well.

        If you still have problems using it, explain what happens when you try it. Show us your set up. Give us something so we can help you.

          Any chance there is a MAC version of this amazing plug in?

            Unless I have completely missed something (and am an idiot as not being able to find any reference), the plugin should work on Mac just as well as on Windows.

                Unless a tool says specifically that it's PC only then it should work on a MAC too.
                The worst that will happen is it won't work.

                    Hello,

                    I am using Sketchup 7.1 and I have installed the plugin as well as the pregressbar.rb. Everything seems to be in order but after I click on the group/component, the plugin doesn't seem to recognize the line. What am I missing here?

                    Any hep greatly appreciated.

                      Aha! I figured it out. I extracted the CONTENTS of the folder to the PLUGINS folder but I was supposed to extract the entire folder. Hope this helps someone else.

                        This is the most common reason why plugins don't function for people. They don't extract the files correctly.

                                  You should try Fredo scale blend tool for this.

                                      Instructions are on the first page of this very thread [ http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=147395#p147395 ], with the download link for the archived tool. Remember to get progressbar.rb too as explained in the link...
                                      ***After installation of all 'loose' files and also the other files in their subfolder [exactly as they are inside the zip!], into the Sketchup Plugins folder, you need to restart Sketchup to auto-load these things...
                                      You will also probably need then to activate it as an Extension [under Preferences] and then activate its Toolbar [under View]...

                                      Follow the tools usage instructions carefully...

                                      ***You might do best to get and install thomthom's 'Simple Plugins Installer' for v8M1 [Pro/Free PC/MAC] which auto-installs are types of downloaded toolsets from their files or archives... Look for it in The SCF Plugins Index... One this is installed it will make installing any future tools much less challenging...

                                        Shapebender is not working for me in sketchup 8 pro since downloading the latest update. I'm specifically trying to bend text into an arc shape, and it keeps putting the text off the end of the arc rather than on the arc itself. Help!

                                        Thanks

                                          I found the same problem a few minutes ago. Strangely though, I found if I hit the down arrow, then the up arrow twice and finally the down arrow again (let it process in between) I got the correct results. I don't know if the order matters.

                                            Sometimes it does that just be patient with it and try a double up or down arrow.
