@unknownuser said: there's another way to do this that i've seen a few people around here using (myself included).. is to put the plugins folder in the finder sidebar.. I considered doing that too, but my Sidebar is already pretty full of things I need to access much more often than the Plugins folder so I opted for the alias approach for items like that instead. Otherwise, I would probably end up having to scroll through the Sidebar as often as the file list itself! Either way, I would opt for moving the unzipped folder contents into the Plugins folder instead of copying & pasting them there to avoid wasting disk space on redundant copies in the Downloads folder & cluttering up file search results with all the extra copies. Retaining just the compact, zipped file in case I need to reinstall the plugin saves a little space & is slightly more resistant to mishaps like accidentally renaming or moving one of its component files out of its proper place in the folder hierarchy.

@shannakae said: Hi there, I am new to this forum. I am an interior designer and have been using 3d programs like form z and sketch up for about 12 years now. I have recently decided to commit myself to mastering Sketchup. After spending hours upon hours going through tutorials and trying out the trial versions of Maya and Cinema 4d I finally realized that Sketchup was Sooooooooo much easier to use (for my purposes, interior design). I have been using Sketchup with a renderer for the past 7 to 8 years but had not really committed myself to learning it or exploring all that it had to offer. After trying to learn Maya and 4D Sketchup is like a DREAM! Now I see that there are all these great plugins that allow for fantastic sculpting and realistic modeling (sooo easy to use). So far here is what I have set up. I have Sketchup pro (so i can create my own custom furniture and options for easy interior design changes and for easy furniture and fixture schedules with pricing etc...) I have V-ray for rendering, and I have installed Artisan (for creating complex organic shapes). I was reading about something called "round corners" that I am about to install... Does anyone have any additional cool plugins or advise for me for creating hight quality furniture and interior design renderings for my interior design business? Thanks so much I look forward to being a part of this community! Hello. I am also new to interior design and use SketchUp. Two months ago, I started work on redecorating my apartment. Independently worked on interior design. The most difficult moment was the decoration of the walls. As a result, I decided to just make the walls in gray-beige tones, purchased wallpaper in https://fancywalls.eu/peel-and-stick-wallpaper-wholesale/ and pasted over the walls with them. I will attach a photo below. Seems to look good [image: IEoi_images.jpg]
