      Hi folks. And some will show up the contextual menu that you get with a right click on an entity. Just ideas.

      if you all really want to know the best way to deal with GSU plugins on macs then check it: [i won't go into the podium spiel again and how to deal with it but check this post -- http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=146352#p146352 that said, for best operation, get rid of the user/lib/etc plugin folder if you have one.. it wasn't there when you originally installed su7 and the only reason it exist is because the podium installer created it...] ok, here's how you do it.. 1.) go to the sketchup folder: Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 7/SketchUp once there, you'll see the plugin folder.. drag that folder to the finder's sidebar.. this in effect will create a shortcut to your plugin folder so you're not always navigating 6-7 folders deep to get to it [as a sidenote, i also like to keep my current project folders there.. gives me quick access to see all my files in different views (list,column,cover flow, or icon) + it's right there in all the apps save dialogs as well.. once you're done with a project, just drag it out of the sidebar and it will do the smoke puff thing.. it doesn't erase anything, it's similar to dragging something out of the dock).. fwiw, i always have my su plugin folder there.. 2.) in safari's general preferences, check 'open safe files after downloading'... this will unzip your downloads automatically as they come in.. (and this isn't really necessary.. it's just my preference and it saves an extra step) also, in the same preference area, set 'save downloaded files to' the downloads folder which should be in the dock 3.)download a ruby from sketchucation, open the download folder, drag the files to the sidebar plugin folder, and start sketchup.. done son.. here's a video showing me setting up the sidebar then downloading chris fullmer's perpendicular face tools, installing it and restarting sketchup.. it's a lot faster and easier to do than typing all of these instructions good luck [flash=853,505:71dnuzhj]http://www.youtube.com/v/HOJFjy18mKQ&hl=en&fs=1&[/flash:71dnuzhj]
