      Hi I am having the same problem. the plugin appears ticked in the system preferences (window tab) but it is not on the toolbars option (view tab), I tried changing my sketchup folder name from 8 to 7 but was not allowed. how'd you get yours to work?

      kind regards,

          Oh surely not! I have Win7 and SU8 pro, hope you not suggesting to re-install OS every time some plugin will not show it's menu 😮

          I'm experiencing same issue as "sketchyarchitect" - plugin menu will not show ❗

            Pavel, is your problem only that the Plugins menu doesn't show? If that is the case, go to Preferences>Extensions and tick the boxes you find there. Then click on OK.

              Thank you so much! This was really helpful—I hadn't been able to figure out how to get this extension installed.

              I quote from the 'flattery' site http://www.pumpkinpirate.info/flattery/
              Installation
              To install Flattery, simply copy the file "flattery.rb" and the folder "flattery" into the SketchUp plugins folder.
              On Windows, this folder is usually C:\Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 7\Plugins.
              On Macs the folder is usually /Library/Application Support/Google/Google SketchUp 7/SketchUp/plugins.
              Once the files are copied, start SketchUp.
              You should see the Flattery toolbar.

              To check where your version of Sketchup is actually installed open
              Menu > Window > Ruby Console
              and type/copy+paste this
              Sketchup.find_support_file("Plugins")
              Typically you substitute '8' for '7' for a newer version of Sketchup.
              'Flattery' is an Extension and needs switching on in
              Menu > Window > Preferences > Extensions > Flattery
              If the 'Flattery' toolbar is still not showing check
              Menu > View > Toolbars > Flattery
              is ticked...

                I see you are on MAC with v2015.
                This thread is somewhat old.
                I recommend you get the latest version of "Flattery" from the SCF PluginStore...
                http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=Flattery
                It has been updated to work with >= v2014.
                Auto-Install it into your Plugins folder using SketchUp > Preferences > Extensions > Install... button
                Check that its Extension is ticked in the Preferences, then check that its Toolbar is active etc...

                    Could you explain what you've done? Did you get it from the Sketchucation Plugin Store? Did you use the Plugin Store tool? If not, what did you do after you downloaded it?

                        Explaining what you actually did to avoid ignominy might have helped other users who might be similarly challenged...
