New Sketchup user and it looks like from the YouTube videos on how to use Sketchup for designing a Tiny House, that the best plugin to use will be House Buider. However it does not seem to show up at all on the Sketchup Extension Warehouse site at all. I tried downloading it on a browser to my computer, but even after doing that the browser showed it put it in the Downloads folder, but the Sketchup program simply could not FIND it under the Window- Preferences - Install Extensions menu.
It simply does not SEE any downloaded files for the House Builder. So I am completely stuck, the program does not allow me to install the House Builder Extension. And yes, we did find out we needed something called Ruby so we used something called RubyInstaller to install Ruby (which changed the House Builder icon from blank icons to colored icons like somehow that made a difference).This program is way too hard to even install! Seems you have to be a computer geek to install any options.
Profile Builder Extensions สำหรับโปรแกรม SketchUp ได้ให้อัพเดทเวอร์ชั่นล่าสุดคือ Profile Builder 2.1.7 เป็นที่เรียบร้อย เพื่อแก้ปัญหาบางส่วนของโปรแกรม และ. Where to Download and Update Plugins How to install a SketchUp Extension RBZ Can I install my purchase on more than one computer? Profile Builder. Quantifier Pro.
Housebuilder is an older plugin, dating from before the extensions installer was added to the Preferences menu. It consists of a.zip file containing two.rb script files and a sample.skp. The two.rb files go in the Plugins folder.You can install it in either of two ways:.Rename housebuilder.zip to housebuilder.rbz and try using thePreferences Extensions installer again.
It should work. (You see.rbz files are simply renamed.zip files.).Open housebuilder.zip with WinZip or equivalent (realizing you haven’t told us youroperating system) and extract the two.rb files–the.skp too, if you like–into the SU Plugins directory.Read the following article (which you should probably have already done):.It seems to me that you’re setting the geek bar a bit low. Renaming and copying files is something any garden variety computer owner/user should be able to do on his system.You don’t need to install Ruby to run Ruby plugins in SU. SU contains a Ruby interpreter.
You simply place the plugin file(s) in the Plugins directory, restart SU, and rock and roll.-Gully. Well I tried the option of trying to re-zip the folder (could not find anywhere in Windows to stop it from auto-unzipping) and then adding the rbz extension. Sketchup then saw that Folder (it has a whole lot of files in it) but did not seem to do anything. Sketchup then opened up that folder and there was nothing there, it just said No Items Match Your Search. So no-go on that approach.On the other approach of copying & pasting the unzipped files directly into the Sketchup Program – The House Builder actually came with a diagram of where to put the files into the (Sketchup 5) files tree, but that tree of files doesn’t look anything like the Sketchup 2015 files. The new one doesn’t even show a Plugins Folder.
Besides, why should lay people mess around with the program structure of a Program File??!Like I said at first, this whole process of trying to get House Builder to load into Sketchup is way too geeky and the solutions offered simply don’t work. MAKE IT SIMPLE AND EASY TO USE PLEASE.Btw, why is it not showing up on what appears to be the “simple & easy to use” method which is that Extensions Warehouse website?? Does anyone know why this House Builder Plugin, which could certainly be one of the most widely useful & popular of Plugins for Sketchup, does NOT get listed on the Extensions Warehouse?? That solution finally worked, there was no way I could havefigured out where to copy-and-paste those files without you specifyingthe 2015 Sketchup tree, especially since the diagram you get when youdownload the House Builder is apparently obsolete compared to currentSketchup tree.Since it was suggested by someone else that with no Extensions yetinstalled there would not yet be a “Plugins” folder in Sketchup, I wenton the Extensions Warehouse and picked out an Extension to load. Sofirst I loaded a trial version of another (much less useful) Extensionfrom the Warehouse. /Then /I went in and copied-and-pasted thedownloaded House Builder files according to your new “tree” instructionsand it seems to now show that it will work.
In other words, under theSketchup “Draw” menu there are now HouseBuilder Draw tools showing up.I also appreciate the explanations that were offered about why this veryuseful House Builder Extension program is not showing up in theWarehouse. It is a pity nobody took that forward, but for now, youfolks saved us.Yes, from my totally layperson perspective, this solution was stillpretty “geeky” but you folks had that knowledge to help make this work!Will try it out later today.

I have heard of the issue you are having before. 100 love maza movie. It might be due to your Internet and Javascript settings. Profile Builder uses web dialogs which use javascript.If you are using Windows, open Internet Explorer and try going to Tools-Internet Options-Advanced-Reset Internet Explorer Settings.

Sorry & thanks.

Any others want to chip in???Hi again TIG,I don't quite understand by compatibility files, though there are a few folders there but most are working properly except for 1 or 2.I have no problem I think with permission since nobody else uses the pc and I believe since I owned it, I am the Administrator of the PC.Should I worry whats inside my Compatibility Files? Your profile says you have XP. Do you actually have Vista or Win7??If there's a 'Compatibility Files' folder associated with the Plugins folder button on windows top bars then there might well be files or a subfolder-of-files that Windows has surreptitiously put into it, but still tells you they are in Plugins!It's to save you from yourself as Bill Gates assumes your are a moron.In that case Sketchup will fail to auto-load all of the relevant files and fail in some way!If so.
Move them into the 'right place' - you should never leave files languishing in these 'side-step' folders - if they exist it means you don't have proper access rights to at least some folders!Have you right-clicked the Plugins folder's icon and used Properties Security and ensured that you do indeed have FULL permissions for the future? Also check the files that it contains and any subfolders etc also have FULL permissions.Note that the permissions should also be FULL on the Materials, Styles and Components folders.If none of this works reconfirm your OS and post a screen grab of the Plugins folder window etc.
