Plugins not showing in my Sketchup 8
-
Guys i need help...
1st of all thank you for this site forum...
I just recently used sketchup8. after 2 hours watching tutorials from youtube i tried to use whatever i understand...
i found that this software is very much friendly user rather than autocad & 3d max however their both great..
lets come to my problem, i tried to download & install so many plugins like podium 1.6.1 & podium v2 etc.. however i wasn't able to install & use it..
could someone teach & advise me please... give me some links also where can i find free plugins..

Why were you posting in another tool's thread?
It isn't it specific to this tool?I have split it off to its own thread!
I also changed the title's wording to 'not' - as I suspect that's what you meant, and not 'now'...First off please learn to use the basic SketchUp tools proficiently [and the Forum tools too!]...
Then only get/install/activate plugins that do something you specifically need and that will help you rather than bog you down...So... assuming that you need a renderer [perhaps early?] then Podium would be fine, but why install two different versions of it ?
The are several threads about the correct way to download, extract, install, activate and use Plugins. Please learn to use the Forum's Search tools, combined with your Browser's Search tools and Google you can find anything you want...
Most individual tools' download pages also explain the methods needed in detail too...If you look above the posts... the menu item Resources > Plugins takes you to the 'Plugins Index' page, this lists all of the plugins available here or linked off to other sites.
When you jump to the tool's page the links to download the tool is almost always on the first page in that thread.
Note that a few tools [especially very complex ones] require that you also get/install 'helper' files to let the work properly; each tool's page will explain this, read the instructions carefully...
Other third party sites that will have a few more specialized tools that are not housed here include Smustard.com and the Didier Bur's 'Ruby Depot' at CRAI... -

You need to provide more info here. What did you try and exactly what "didn't work"? )Error messages, can't find menus or toolbars for the plugin, it didn't perform an operation as expect? There are so many ways something "doesn't work" that you need to be specific when you ask questions.)
For a general guide to installing plugins: http://www.thomthom.net/thoughts/2012/01/installing-plugins-for-google-sketchup/
All though, for Podium, doesn't it have its own installer?
(And why did you try to install anything other than the latest version? Did you install these versions on top of each other?)
