Great looking plugin Fredo!! But I'm having trouble loading it into S8 plugins folder. I keep getting an error that says "The item SUClock%201 can not be moved because "Sketchup" cannot be modified". But it loaded itself at the bottom of the list of folders. I'm on a Mac and have loaded other plugins most times with success, sometimes not. Maybe its just me. if you know what I'm doing wrong I'd rely appreciated any help you can give. Thanks.

@gaieus said:
It depends which plugin you installed. The plugin tab is only there when there is a plugin that registers itself under that menu. Most of them do but others may go to anywhere (even in the context menu).
So which plugin was it?
If you go to SketchUp > Preferences > Extensions and activate ruby script examples and / or utilities, some default plugins get activated and your plugin menu appears. In any case, after installing or activating a plugin needs a restart of SU).
Gaieus, it was one of thomthom's plugins, Material Replacer (1.1.0) — 12 January 2010. I followed your instructions on to activate the ruby scripts and the plugin tab is now there. I had several plugins in sketchup7, but right now there is only a "cost" plugin. I still don't see the material changer plugin, maybe I'm looking in the wrong places. Thanks for your help

Thanks again Dave,
I knew it had to do with library but couldn't remember anything after that. But now I have another problem. After moving the plugin into the folder, I restarted sketchup8 to see if it was there and realized I don't have the "Plugin" tab at the top of the window. It was there when I used sketchup7. Any ideas?

I'm having a hard time remembering what to do once I have downloaded a plugin. I know I have to put it the plugins folder but don't remember where it is. Is there a way of downloading it right to the correct folder? If it makes a difference I am on a Mac. Thanks.

Hi Dave, nice to see your are still active here I miss you on the LJ site but do understand your reasons.
If you mean clicking on windows and then components and typing in a search word I get a "Internet request failed: Unsupported URL." If it makes a difference to find the solution, I am using a Mac. Could there be a setting in sketchup that needs to be changed?

Hi everyone. I'm trying to draw some plans to remodel our kitchen and want to download some models from the 3d warehouse, when I click on the download icon and sign in I get a message that says "Service not available now. Please try later." Do I need the pro version to use this icon? Don't have the $ for that. I also purposely type in the wrong password to see what would happen and the message says "Sign error, please verify email and password." So I know I'm using the correct password. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Chris, thanks for the link I'll check it out.
Hi Dave, you are right the rails should be shortened and the stiles lengthened. I'll go fix it tonight. Thanks.

Hi all, first I'd like to say thanks to all who have posted there free plugins here. I've downloaded a couple and they seem to work exactly as stated. They will be very helpful. I'm a woodworker and I make my own furniture (Arts & Crafts style) and recently found Sketchup. I've just finished my first full model of a Stickley sideboard. Now my question, does anyone have a plugin that would tell a user how long they have been working on project in sketchup? Also is there a tutorial on how to set up different views for dimensioning then printing plans. I've done a couple but am not satisfied with the results. By that I mean I have to blow up the drawing so much that I need several sheets to show all the dimensions on a piece. Again thanks to everyone.
