@TIG

THANK YOU so much for your help! I have almost all of the plug-ins working now after changing the read-write settings.

For some reason I am still having problems with ToolsOnSurface_v1.8a.rbz and Pathcopy.rb (pathcopy is a zipped folder which I unzipped, resulting in subfolders within a pathcopy folder). When initializing SketchUp there a Load Error message: Error Loading File ZLoader__OnSurface.rb / no such file to load -- LibFredo6.rb. And for Pathcopy, it is visible, but grey and unable to be selected through Sketchup > Preferences > Extensions > Install Extensions...

I might just give up on these two. But if you have an idea I'd love to hear it!

Thanks again,
Rebecca

Hi TIG. When I type " Sketchup.find_support_file('Plugins') " into the ruby console, the response is: " /Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/Plugins "... That Library folder only appears in Macintosh HD, not User.

Am I missing something?

Thanks for your help, hoping to sort this out!

Hello,

I'm fairly new to sketchup and trying to install several free ruby scripts. I have saved them in what I believe should be the correct folder ( Macintosh HD > Library > Application Support > Google SketchUp 8 > SketchUp > plugins ). I am trying to install the scripts through SketchUp > Preferences > Extensions > Install Extensions...

For some of the files, I can see them but not select them (they are greyed out instead of black).
For the files I am able to select, an error message pops up: SketchUp unable to install this extension for an unknown reason.

The files I downloaded and manually placed into the plugin folder are: drobGC.rbz, JointPushPull_v2.0b.rbz, makefaces.rb, pathcopy.rb, progressbar.rb, smartdrop_v1.5.rbz, and ToolsOnSurface_v1.8a.rbz. NONE of these are working and I've tried troubleshooting and reading many forums but am still stuck. Can anyone help!?

Thank you!
