i guess your extension uses ruby. just look for "ruby OS X plist" and you'll find some gits helping you out. though sketchup might have its own methods for it. its a simple xml which can be in binary format though.
EDIT: using 5 as a default size for the grid seems odd e.g. while modeling a 4x4 or (3x2) building. its fine for 1x1 or 3x3 buildings though.
you'll probably want an option to set the actual grid size of the building you want to model.
if we want to redraw the grid how would be remove a previously drawn grid in code?
