      Sketchup.get_resource_path "Materials.strings"
      

      returns an empty string on Mac in SU8. Same applies to "Styles.strings" etc.

      Sketchup.get_resource_path '' returns:
      '/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/Resources/en-US'

      The file is located in 'Sketchup.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/Materials.strings'

      I haven't checked in SU2013.

        (Sketchup.get_resource_path '' ) << '/Materials.strings'
        

        => /Applications/SketchUp 2013/SketchUp.app/Contents/Resources/Content/Resources/en-US/Materials.strings

        works in v2013 on my mac.

          doesn't work in SU2013.

          Thanks for the workaround, although it works only for SU2013.

            SU v8 and v7 on my mac

            edit, it returns a path to nowhere... but I knew I had it somewhere...

            matPath = (ENV[ "IG_ROOT"]).dup << "/English.lproj/Materials.strings"
            

            works on v8 and v2013 at least
