Mac Trimble 8 won't let me have plugins???

sixingno1

My version is updated to the Trimble, now I moved the plugins folder under the "app support"/sketchup/ folder, with the autosave and autocolor folders, why is it not showing anything when i start sketchup under plugins? the only one i have is the ocean floor plugin, which is within sketchup already.
Please pleas help!!!
Also if you have a set of plugins that i can use, please please give me a copy, i dont know if my plugins are too old or what.............
thanks everyone

Your plugins should be here on a Mac:
Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp

If you had version 8 previously and the plugins working, you should not touch them but leave where they are (were). This new maintenance build did nothing to the installation folders but everything remained under the Google folder (interestingly: mainly to avoid confusion).

Thanks for helping me, that is where I put the plugins, I really don't know what to do now...
I had a new computer, and I moved the pulgins folder from the old computer, and I also downloaded some new pulgins, but non of them showed up in Sketchup... The only one I have is the ocean floor one, which is from the Sketchup it self. I was trying to search this ocean floor location, hoping maybe that would be where to put my plugins, but I can't find it......

Are you guys using the new "Trimbel" Sketchup8 now or still using the google sketchup8?
By the way the new logo is ugly...

Ahhh
so frustrating

Everyone who is using Maintenance Release 4 or SketchUp 8 is using the Trimble version.

I guarantee that the current version of SketchUp on Mac will indeed let you have plugins. How about posting a screen shot of your Plugins folder in Finder showing the path.

You say you "had a new computer." Did you just install SketchUp on it? Did you go into Preferences>Extensions and tick the box for Utilities Tools?

Sometimes people get the plugins here

Macintosh HD/%(#FF00BF)[Users/"username"/]Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp

a parallel track put there by Apple to confuse us. Just to be sure, you didn't do that?

open 'Ruby Console' and paste mdfind -name 'ocean.rb' do same for a known plugin by name ` `mdfind -name 'weld.rb' for example
then paste this into 'RC' UI.openURL('file:///' + '%(#0080FF)[*delete this and paste path into here*]')

Do it for both paths, but remove the 'your file-name.rb'before hitting return .
if you have multiple 'Plugins' choose which to open.

Actually put there by Sketchup so that multiple 'Users' can have their own 'plugin sets',
the problem was that some $plugins used it to restrict the 'licence' to 'one user' and messed up the whole concept.]

I HAD to put my plugins into the user library instead of the system on trimble8 in order for them to work.

Hmmm. Curious.

I upgraded to Trimble with no changes at all to my plugins-- function or location.
