You did something wrong when pasting the files. They should be pasted in the 'Exporters' folder, not 'Plugins'.

When you do it right, there will be a 'Plugins' tab on the top bar in SketchUp.

how do i find the exporters folder??

Try "tools"... I believe that's where my ended up...

I can't get the damn thing to work right once exported ( reminds me of my days with 3D Studio Max )... half the textures are missing and the lighting is imposible..

Read the manual you say... way too much work - all I want is something fun and relaxing ( why I started with SU to beging with - so I stopped trying

Kerkythea has a manual!?!? do go on!

Really though, Kerkythea might make some good renders, but its a total pain, I was really close to throwing the computer out the window.

if you have already tried doing it you will have to delete what you did first

but just copy what fox just displayed iinto the 'unzip to ' box

i just made like 15 screenshots to help someone else out

Tanster · #11 Posted **Jul 11, 2007, 9:19 AM**

Hmm, I don't know what to say if the Plugins tab didn't show up...

Tanster · #17 Posted **Jul 11, 2007, 9:39 AM**

THANKS!! I'll keep trying

Mocholate · #18 Posted **Jul 11, 2007, 9:43 AM**

when you first unzipped the file - did you just click 'ok'

if so it means it went into 'temporary internet files'

you have to erase that before you try again

erase by clearing your temporary internet files

Mocholate · #19 Posted **Jul 11, 2007, 9:46 AM**

I posted that in the 'kerkythea help' thread that i made

but you didnt return to the thread

Mocholate · #20 Posted **Jul 11, 2007, 10:23 AM**

off topic , but is this the worst hair crime you have ever seen
