It is a thing asked about from time to time which would have been made already if it was possible.

then why don't people at SU development do something about it?

We don't do anything about this because it isn't something that can be done. SketchUp's inference system is designed to be on all the time– never turned off. SketchUp without geometric inference wouldn't really be usable.

I wasted 1 week trying to snap an object vertex point to another plane object vertex (all the original model from 3d wharehouse had a lot of mistakes). Finally all the model was reconstructed by me but based in one of the faces that I thought it was a perfect plane...
The snap distance needed is shorter than the smallest allowed by the model units options and I need it to correct the rotation angle of the first object, which is not perfectly parallel to axis. Without making it parallel, when is saved SU "corrects" the geometry and brakes all the group.

This is what I call "wouldn't really be usable".

I'm not ruby programmer but some installers require you a specific directory. May be the loader expects to find some things on a specific placement.

As you know we can get several user accounts with the same directory structure and SU will search for plugins in a determinate order (I read it somewhere). I'm not sure but it could be in the plugins folder inside SU application, then the general library, shared library, user library, and so on.

I just collected all of them in my user account/library/application support/GoogleSketchup 7/Sketchup/plugins. All excepting those that are using an installer but probably most of them would work the same.

Finally, I don't understand why some rubys needs another location to work.

Some problems may need file permissions verification (I tried all possibilities with pipping plugin without success.

It doesn't matter to me, I know all about them too.

hahaha

I'm mac user for 25 years and eventually a windows user too. I have some PCs for my children to broke. The last PC I have been using at home went away from my window.

Probably this is just a a matter of personal preference and frustration is not in my list but I can ensure you one thing: PCs can't fly!

Which of those apps takes all that horsepower? SU, if you resist the temptation to model a forest leaf-by-leaf, performs superbly on an inexpensive Windows desktop with a little extra RAM.

Unless one of those other apps is a real burner, I'd save on the computer and spend on a really big monitor. 1920x1200 on 24" LCD is a real joy.

I agree

Don't spend your money in short life-cycle technology parts

You are on the right track.
hahahahaha

The console doesn't work, so I threw a bag of snacks on the table and the oracle said:

["/Users/Coronel/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 7/SketchUp/Plugins", "/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 7/SketchUp/Plugins", "/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 7/SketchUp/Tools", "/Users/Coronel/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 7/SketchUp/Plugins/ruby", "/Users/Coronel"]

I have most of them in my user library excepting those which use an installer and choose the general library folder. I just had a problem (not solved yet) with 3skenglt pipping plugin.
Some plugs may install a folder or component on a specific location outside of the library.

This is a perfect work.
I found it in 3d wharehouse some time ago and downloaded it to use some of them as complement for my apartment.

THANK YOU!

Great work
