tick the checkbox for 'Hard Disks' under 'show these items on the desktop:'

That did it

Three of us have told you the correct location. I assure you it's there. Please read the thread on installing plugins.

I read the thread several times, and it isn't helpful. Like I said, newer macs do not have the Macintosh HD location that you've mentioned.

On a Mac, I believe it should be something like this (where # is your SU version number - are you sure you have SU 4 BTW?)

Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp #/SketchUp/Plugins

No, sorry I use version 8. I put 4 when setting up this account... I wasn't sure at the time.

@dave r said:

Well, the folder you found is clearly not the correct location because the plugins you've installed there don't work.

Yeah, that's why the plugins aren't working. I'm asking where the correct location would be.

@dave r said:

What's so hard about Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/Plugins?

The fact that "Macintosh HD" does not exist, nor does "library" or "application support."

I remember seeing Macintosh HD back with my 4 year old macbook, however, this newer model I use does not have that. I did a search for a folder called "plugins" and the one I showed you is the only one I could find

Thank for reply.
But I have simple questions: (1) Should I create Plugins folder, or it is already exist somewhere in my computer; (2) I create the fold Plugins on the desktop, then I extract the files into this folder. next, How I can connect Google SketchUp (free downloaded by me) with the files in Plugins?

The Plugins folder already exists under SketchUp.

Read the directions at the link I just posted above.

I don't see the difference between the one in the link and the one I'm using. The only way I can reach the plugins folder is by going to Applications>Google Sketchup>Sketchup>Contents>Plugins.

Maybe I'm using a different version of sketchup, or I have a new Mac OS(Lion), but that's the closest I can find.

If you told us the whole error-message it'd be more helpful...
However, you have clearly made an error in how you've installed the files/folders...
Reread the installation guides and double-check everything is in the right place.
If you still have problems post the full errors and screen-shots of you Plugins folder, so we can see how the files/folders have been installed, and then advise you...

Hey TIG, The error message was something like "cannot load libfredo.rb" However, I've switched from Windows and am currently trying to install it on Mac. Now I've placed the contents into the appropriate plugin folder and I still can't find the Round Edges option.

Perhaps there is a problem with where I have the files? This is what it looks like.

Hi guys, I'm trying to get the round edge plug-in by fredo6 working on my sketchup. So far I've put the LiBFredo6 and RoundEdge plugins into the plugin folder. But why do I get a "load error" message when I open SketchUp?
