cutlist

[Roxie]

Help please. I have downloaded the "cutlist" plugin and it now resides in my Plugin folder on the C drive. How do I get into SU? I have read a tutorial and it mentions a Plugin on the Menu Bar but I cannot find it.

Any help would be most welcome

The plugin files need to be in the plugins directory which should be under C:\Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 8\

That is where I put it, but got no further.

Shultzy's given you excellent guidance. If you still don't have it working we'll take the next step.

Make a screen shot of your Plugins directory and post it or PM it to me.

Do you have the Plugins menu showing on the menu line? If not, go to Window>Preferences>Extensions and tick all the boxes you find there. The plugin will work for you. We just have to get it installed correctly and away you go.

Here is my screen shot, hope it helps.

It looks like it isn't installed correctly. Did you look at the link Shultzy supplied? You should have both the cutlist.rb file and a folder called "cutlist." It would appear that you didn't extract the contents of the ZIP file correctly. What OS are you using?

Got it!!!

Now I have got to learn how to use it. Found a site written by Cherrywood that looks as if it may help.

Thanks again
