Hi,
I hope someone can help me.
I am trying to instal the RoundCorner plugin on my iMac (MountainLion OSX V.10.7.5). I am using the free version of SU, V 8.0.x. I have had no previous experience of using plugins.
I have downloaded both the LibFredo6...rbz and Fredo6_RoundCorner...rbz files from page 1 of this thread. When I double click on the either, nothing appears to happen other than SU launches. I am clearly misunderstanding something and I suspect it relates to the instruction on the first page of this thread "1) Click on the Zip archive on Sketchucation" because I don't understand what this means.
Puzzled of Hertford.
Regards, Martin Winlow.
(edit... Thanks thomthom but I managed to figure it out! For anyone else as dim as me, also having difficulty with this, here is my description of what you need to do to install this and apparently any other plugin...
1/ Download the .rbz file by clicking on the 'download' button or whatever the web page offers - in the case of LibFredo6 the relevant page is page one of this thread and you click on 'LibFredo6 - v5.0c - 06 Jul 13.rbz' with the little zip graphic at the start of that filename (under the big yellow 'Download' graphic). I guess this filename will change as the plugin version number progresses.
2/ Step one should have downloaded the 'LibFredo6 - v5.0c - 06 Jul 13.rbz' file into your macs 'Downloads' folder.
3/ Open SU and click on SketchUp in the menu bar, then Preferences and then Extensions and then click on Install Extension. Navigate your way into your Downloads directory and then find 'LibFredo6 - v5.0c - 06 Jul 13.rbz'. Double click on it (or click on it then click on the 'Open' button below) and you will get a warning window titled 'Do you trust this extension?'. If you do, click on 'Yes' and you will get a plugin installed completion message.
4/ If the extension you just installed is not ticked in the Preferences window then tick it. You may need to restart SU for it to take effect.
With the LibFredo6 plugin installed you will find an additional item in the menu bar Window item called 'LibFredo6 Settings'.
I also installed the RoundCorner plugin (which is why I started on this epic voyage of discovery) and with this plugin installed you will find an additional item in the menu bar item 'Tools' titled 'Fredo6 Collection', under which is the RoundCorner tool.
Phew!
