how can i fix this?

@ditoarch06 that means that the plugin has expired. Soap skin has a time limit that requires you to remove the plugin, re-download it, and then re-install it. According to the site, the current release of SSB is set to expire on Apr 10, 2012.

please advise...i can't seem to make this plug-in work. I recently downloaded sketchup 8 -- any compatiblity problems?

[4sketchupgo2school]

@konstruct01 I'm able to get it to work fine on SU8. The tool does time out after about 4 months, at which point you need to re-download it and re-install it.

this bubble plugging isnt for the newer versions 7 8?

[4sketchupgo2school]

@RubenDandrea87 The website states that the plugin is available for SketchUp versions 6-8. 

[Slench101]

is there one for sketchup7???

[tooootlee]

where to download the plugin?

[camilleJusi]

I got the tool time limit message too, but t is not even April 10, 2012 yet. What's up with that? So I uninstalled it, redownloaded it, then reinstalled it again. Still having the same problem. Any one know what to do?

Im struggling to get the plugin to work on Pro8. I always found it easy to do on previous versions, but no luck on 8. CAn anyone give me clear instructions please?

@4sketchupgo2school sir how can i get that plugin?

[JCEQUALCHI]

@bahman1962 could you tell me how do you do 'Soften Edges'? Mine is SU Pro 8, when I opened the 'Soften Edges' window on SU, it was all gray out, so I can't make any changes... T_T Please help, thank you!

after installing the plugin, change your computer date to before 2009 ~
