      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.

                                          One of the most impressive plugins I've ever seen! I've needed something like this for years!

                                            Hello,

                                            I came here like i always do ... when i have a problem.

                                            And now it is with the "bending"

                                            Please take a look at the attached image. i tried to bend a simple shape but the plug-in get's stuck as it is shown. Maybe someone that understands the ruby console text can help me to fix the problem.
                                            I have to mention that i used very well the plugin in the past, but for some reason on the 2 computers that i am working on it gives the same error. On both i have the same plugins installed. maybe it is fighting with some other plugin ....

                                            Sorry if this is already answered and i am asking again.

                                            Thanks in advance,
                                            Marius.
