Hi there, is there any developer who might be interested to collaborate on developing extensions to enable SketchUp users to do some simple acoustical modelling? I have the technical knowledge but not the programming capability to do this myself. I know a little about programming so I'm pretty sure it's not too difficult to do. But I also don't have the time to learn Ruby and do it myself. I'm open to all kinds of arrangements around this. If you're interested, please email me at brunswick474 @ yahoo.com. Many thanks. I hope I'm not breaking any Forum rules here, . If so, apologies ahead of time.

Is there a good userguide somewhere? I downloaded the plugin and cannot figure it out. Managed to get some grass on a surface but it disappeared as soon as I moved the image. Tried the crowd function but nothing...

Tried youtube but it hung (got an old PC and lousy internet). Userguide will be fantastic.

Many thanks, guys. Looks like I just needed that reminder about where to locate the .rb files. You're right, Dave R. What I did was try to install the .rb files using Install Extension button inside the Extensions page of the Preferences menu. I was able, using that to open another folder in my computer but it doesn't recognise any of the .rb or .rbz files in those other folders. Transferring the files into the right folder solved all the issues, .

I just installed the latest Trimble SketchUp 8 and two things happened:

1. It ported over the old plugins I installed for the old Google SketchUp
2. I cannot install other plugins that I downloaded from the Plugin store

What should I do? Most of the plugins I downloaded are .rb files and SU8 simply won't recognise them. One of the downloads is a .zip file which I renamed to .rbz. SU8 won't recognise that either. It used to be that we needed to put the .rb files in a particular place and SU will just find them. Now I don't know what's happening. Can anyone help?

I'm running SU8 on an iMac OSX10.6.8.

Many thanks.
