      I am running Sketchup 8 under Mac Mountain Lion OS.
      I am unable to install skp_to_dxf.rbz so that I can export stl files.
      Sketchup displays a dialog box indicating that it was unable to install the plugin. Any help would be appreciated.

        Show us the error dialog. πŸ˜’
        As a guess...
        You probably don't have sufficient access rights to the Sketchup 'plugins' folder.
        Ensure that these are FULL [read/write], then retry installing the RBZ file through the Preferences > Extensions > Installer button, or use thomthom's API equivalent 'Simple-Plugins-Installer'...
        Note that on a MAC the correct plugins folder is the one in the Lib of the root HD - NOT the 'user' equivalent [assuming you let SketchUp install itself in the default folders and didn't mess with it during the app's installation etc]...
