Thank you again for your time Dave !

And one last question, am trying to find a plugin that could either convert a scanned pdf plan to a dxf format, alternatively a plugin that I could use to automatically trace over a scanned pdf or jpeg, without having to go around redrawing on top of the imported image.

Any suggestions ?

I think you should use me as a "poster child" !

thanks a million

It worked ! And sure i have to look in upgrading to SU2013 Pro ... but me being blonde and all, with regards to all my plugins, after the upgrade, do i have to manually transfer them or do they transfer themselves ?

You didn't install the plugin. Take the .rbz file out of the Plugins folder and put it back in your Downloads folder or something. Open SketchUp and go to Preferences>Extensions. Click on Install Extension. Navigate to where you saved the .rbz file and select it. Click Open...

Before you do any of that, make sure you have properly set the permissions for the Plugins folder. See TIG's thread at the top of the Plugins forum.

Please complete your profile with SketchUp version and OS. Thanks.

Hello Dave and thank you for your prompt reply !

I have opened Sketchup and went to Preferences>Extensions but there is no such thing as Install extension.

Any ideas ?

Am on MAC os 10.7.5 and Sketchup pro 7

You should have clf_shape_bender_loader.rb in the plugins folder.

Then all the other files - clf_shape_bnder.rb and all the shapebender icons should be in a subfolder called shapebender.

The zip file is arranged this way, so you should have just been able to open the zip file and drag it directly into your plugins folder, with the folder hierarchy correct. So, please go try to re-install it, or just manually put all other shapebender files into a subfolder call shapebender.

Good luck!

Hello,
