Macintosh (Mac) Plugin's
-
Am I incorrect in assuming most of these plugins are for the PC and that when I did a search with the word "Mac" in the plugin's page, I only saw perhaps almost a page of some, but very few by comparison to the PC.
OR
Am I looking for Mac Plugin's incorrectly.
I am using Sketchup 8 (not pro) on a mac running OS 10.6.8 for those curious.
Thanks

Where are you looking for plugins. Most plugins work for both Mac and Windows. There are a few more complex (?) ones that only work on specific platforms.

You won't find much when searching for "mac" because as @pbacot observed, the vast majority of extensions/plugins run equally well on both platforms. In that case, they don't break out "mac" as a visible keyword anywhere that the search would find. You should search for the functions you need and then verify Mac-compatibility rather than the other way around.
Plugins usually state both the OS and the SketchUp versions the author has tested for compatibility. Given the major changes in SketchUp and the version of Ruby it uses since SU 8, many authors no longer support SU 8. That's a bigger factor than Mac vs Windows.
