That was it - thank you!

I've had a hell of a time trying to get the plugins to install on my program as well. I thought I could produce a quick 3D graphic with wrap-around text for a work project, and realized after a few trials with applying an image of the text as a texture, as well as extruding the text through the cylinder, etc... that SketchUp does not come equipped with this capability. I found your Shape Bender Ruby Script plugin and thought I was set to go, registered for the site, entered my companies administrative passwords, and tried multiple troubleshooting techniques to get the plugin to install (ie. examined the folder hierarchy ad nauseum, tried changing the zip file extension to rbt, etc...). It looks like none of the plugins for the program are active...? Waiting for the IT to help. Any more fun tricks?
