Hi all,

I'm a town planner in the UK returning to my profession after a 6 year break. I came across SketchUp by way of an urban designer in the office I have been working in recently, who showed me some its potential. It certainly has a lot to offer in this area. I'm an absolute beginner but have been following some of the tutorials and checking out some of the great tips on this site and thoroughly enjoying myself.

I previously had SU7 on my previous computer and had easily installed some of the basic Ruby plug-ins. Having just purchased my new computer I have updated to SU8 (free version) but I'm now having some real problems installing any of the plug-ins. I only tried yesterday and will seek some threads/advice here of how to get round this.
