This could also be used for simple sheet metal patterns.

Exactly my thoughts too! If bend radii could be specified too, as well as thickness (I haven't checked yet), this tool will be as powerful as the one in Solidworks!

A brilliant addition. Thanks very much!

Did you activate its Extension under Preferences

[Subsonic Mike]

No, how?

[mitcorb]

In Sketchup: top line menu: Window>Preferences>Extensions Check box on plugin name.

Did you copy the unzipped files?

[Subsonic Mike]

No, I extracted them to my downloads folder then copyed them to the SketchUp plugins folder

Did you keep some of the files in any subfolders etc as they were zipped ?

[Subsonic Mike]

Once extracted I moved the entire extracted folder to its location

NO ?
I suspect you need to move the contents of that folder into Plugins...
In the Plugins folder there should be one file called flattery.rb and a folder called flattery containing loads of other files.
If you unzipped a file called flattery.zip into a folder called flattery then it's one level too deep....

I think its best I start again
just one thing, is it usual to get an error when you try to extract it directly to the plugins folder?

No.
Exactly what error do you get?
(Error messages are very useful in debugging a problem, so please include them when posting.)

OK I extracted the files for the 11th time to get the error but this time it extracted fine!
BUT the files dont show up when I look in the plugins folder. So I open 7 zip to extract them again but 7 zip shows them in the plugins folder.
WHAT'S HAPPENING TO MY COMPUTER!

I think you have a Compatibility Files issue with Vista - it tucked them away in a Compatibility folder to protect you!
Look in the top bar of the Plugins folder window are there any weird folders or icons there...
Vista can be a pain when it decides that you shouldn't add files to some folders...
