Cannot install SP3.2 in OS X 10.6

MichaelG.1

As a new member, first please accept my apologies if this has already been answered elsewhere.

Having upgraded to SketchUp v8 Pro, I waited for the release of SP 3.2 before attempting to install SketchyPhysics. Unfortunately, I have failed.

I have downloaded 3.2 from http://code.google.com/p/sketchyphysics/downloads/list
and copied it across to the plugins folder, but nothing appears in SketchUp.

Could some experienced user please advise?

Many thanks

Michael how exactly did you solve this problem? I have the identical one. I placed the downloaded folder into the plugins folder under /Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp, then restarted SU but cannot see the toolbar. I've looked for it under view>tool palettes

Thanks,
Andrew

Hi Gys (and Michael, it seems you did not get an answer...).

We have a dedicated SP subforum under the Extensions Forum. I will move this topic there.

I do not use SP but maybe you need to activate it under SketchUp > Preferences > Extensions?

Andrew,
Sorry for the delay in replying
I'm pretty sure that my original download was damaged or incomplete, so ...
First I trashed all trace of the first attempt, and then emptied the Trash.
Then I downloaded again, and copied the unzipped items into place.
... after which [as they say] "it just worked".

N.B.
1: it seems to be essential that the plugins folder is in the tree starting "Macintosh HD" not the one starting at your home folder. i.e. under DEVICES not under PLACES
2: you need to copy across everything that unzips ... the "loose" files as well as the folder.

Hope that helps.
