    Im completely new to sketchup, and have to start using it for a University project

    I have some downloaded plugins given to me by my tutor, as well as one i have downloaded myself, but i cant seem to find a way of using them on my Mac.

    the path i use is - user/library/applicationsupport/googlesketchup7/sketchup
    now im pretty sure after that there should be a folder called plugins but there isnt one.

    should i make one?

    where do i go from there?

    HELP!! =(

    thank you in advance

      On a Mac they live in

      Macintosh HD:: /Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 7/SketchUp/plugins

      (ie not from your Home folder)

        Use : /HD/library/apl...... This is the default one.
        If something doesn't work use the /users/ path for trying out.

            Just copy the files into Plugins.
            Depends on what plugins you have, there are some differences:
            Single plugin with .rb or .rbs extension
            One or more single files with a folder ( mostly for toolbar buttons )
            Plugins with installation routine ( Be care of the installation path )

            After install, restart Sketchup and you will find them under Plugins, Tools,Camera... or as a toolbar which can activate under View

              this is easy. the normal place for plugins on a mac is:
              HD/library/application support/google sketchup/sketchup/plugins.

              the plugins folder at the user level is used very rarely by some plugins that install themselves. ocasionally, we put some plugin there in case there is a conflict between it and some other plugin.
