Pilou (and others)
I got it! On a Mac, you have to place the .rb file in the Library > Application Support > Google SketchUp 6 > SketchUp > Plugins folder. (This assumes that the SketchUp program exists in a folder called Google SketchUp 6 within the Applications folder.) Once I did that, the sub-menu included a Volume option. Thanks for your help, Pilou.
