      Thank you for the quick response.

      One last set of questions and again, sorry for being so clueless.
      How do I go about utilizing the plugin? I am running free Sketchup ver:8 on a mac running OSX Lion. I downloaded the shape bender plugin but I am unsure how to open the program on Sketchup. Do I need to download another file and/or copy the file(s) in different folders?

      Thanks for all the help

      Hello,
      I am completely novel to Google Sketchup and I know that I won't even begin to scathe the vast possibilities it offers, so please bare with me for these following questions.

      I am intending on using Sketchup to create multiple 3-dimensional figures for a Cognitive Psychological experiment examining how manipulation (via a mouse) or no manipulation effects the recognition/memory of novel visual objects.

      In order to do this, I am planning on making many of these objects that are very similar yet subtly different at the same time. All objects will be composed of a base (cube, triangular prism, or a pentagonal prism) and three parts extending off of that base which can either be a cylinder or rectangular prism.

      At this point, I believe I understand the program sufficiently to create these objects, but i've run into a confound. I am hoping to be able to bend some of these parts that extend of off the base. How would I go about bending such shapes? I've looked around and found the script, "shape bender" but I am uncertain as to whether this would work for me.

      Thank you all for any help you can lend; It is truly appreciated.
