    Hi!,

    I installed Chris Fullmer's CAmera Recorder. I unzipped it, copied it into the plugins folder and it doesn't show up in google sketchup! HELP!

      Did you maintain the same file structure? Did you wind up with a a folder called 'clf_camera_recorder' and a file called clf_camera_recorder_loader.rb'?

            Can you make a screen shot of the Plugins folder and post it.

                  Despite your assurance that you installed it correctly, I don't see clf_camera_recorder_loader.rb there. No wonder it doesn't load.

                      In the Plugins folder.

                          Close SketchUp and reopen it.

                          Give me a new screen shot of your plugins folder, too.

                          In SketchUp, can you see a Plugins menu.

                              Is the loader .rb in the camera folder?

                                  The tool's subfolder is probably inside a folder with the same name. ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

                                  You have extracted the zip file's contents into a folder named after the zip file.
                                  You must then move the contents of that folder into the Plugins folder, keeping the files and files within subfolders in the same relationships...

                                  You have not done this. ๐Ÿ˜•

                                  At your first go... rather than moving the tool's loader.rb file and tool's subfolder into the Plugins folder, you have relocated the entire folder formed when you extract the zip file's contents into the Plugins folder.

                                  At your second go... you moved the tool's loader.rb from that newly added subfolder to where it ought to be in the Plugins folder... now that file will auto-load when Sketchup starts... BUT it is still looking into its named subfolder to load the main tool's files - BUT it can't find them - because that folder has no files in it, instead it now contains a subfolder of those files, which happens to have the same name ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

                                  To fix it... move this named subfolder out of the Plugins folder [perhaps onto your Desktop] and then move the subfolder that it contains [which happens to share the same name!] back into the Plugins folder.
                                  When you restart Sketchup it should auto-load the loader.rb, which in turn will load the files in the now correctly formed subfolder.

                                  The now empty folder on your Desktop can be deleted. ๐Ÿ˜’

                                    I suppose you unzipped the zip file and windows made a complete folder from the zip file - which you then moved into the plugins folder.

                                    No, you need to move the CONTENT of that windows-made folder under the plugins folder.

                                    Gai...
