maybe I didn't "point it to the SU directory" like you mentioned ... what does that mean exactly ?

Seems like what happens is when I install it (even as an administrator) I get a bunch of folders (camera, lighting ... etc) that contain sketchup models (lights, directors chairs, stands ... etc.) No RB files like with all the other plug-ins.

Nothing new appears in my camera drop down or plug-ins drop down.

I guess I figured that in the contents of the folder there would be a ruby file somewhere I could just drop into my plug-ins folder.

Could it be that the Bonus Pack is for Sketchup 6 and I am using Sketchup 7 ?

Hey Sketchers!

Anyone out there know how to get this Film & stage plug-in installed ??

I have Sketchup 7, on Windows Vista, and when I download the plug-in and try to install it it tells me it was not installed correctly. I want to be able to drop the contents of the installer into my plug in folder ... but cant seem to do it.

Any help would be much appreciated!!

I'm using the latest Podium download (I just bought it last week) and my computer is a PC, with Vista.

I think it's real cool how they have a library of light fixtures ... any of you guys know where I can find some lights for the entertainment industry? Like space lights, kenos, 10k's, fischer lights etc ... I'm using sketchup/podium to build sets so it would be sweet if I could show the director how the sets gonna look once we have it all lit

Anyone else out there in the set building business??

Cheers

Whats up Sketchup peeps.

I keep getting bug splats when I'm playing around with Podium. Anyone else have this problem?

What an awesome calculator Jeff! This is a real time saver.

Now, I just need to find a plugin that will help divide up my model into material sizes. See, the reason I've been usuing sketchup is because I do set construction and many of the designers I work for need me to break apart their sketchup drwaing into construction plans. I used to use AutoCAD ... untill I discovered Layout

Anyone out there know of a plugin where I can select a surface and see it divided up into 4' x 8' sheets? This would be a great help when ordering materials ... and it would help me quickly figure out where my seams are and where to place my toggles etc.

Great Plugin Chris!

I do have one question: is there anyway for me to take a finite length of material and bend it on a curve without stretching it?

For example: I really want to use your plugin to build this plexiglass wall. The Plexiglass is 36' long and 8' tall when flat. I want to know what it would look like if I bent it on different radii.

I drew some various arcs, and the shape bender does indeed bend my plexiglass wall to match the arc ... but it stretches it out to make it fit. Is there anyway I can use your plugin to take my plexiglass wall and match it to that arc without stretching it?

Thanks very much Chris
