I click on the link and when it goes to the error page, I then add the .rb in the address window. It then opens the code.
All I can do is "select all" and copy to the clipboard.
Then I can past into wordpad but can only save as a .txt file.
How do I make it an .rb file?
-
Just change save the file as .txt, then right click the file->rename and then change it to .rb.
-
...or just click off the file type "text" and select "any". That way, it won't add a .txt extension after the .rb
-
an alternative could be to use a newly created script by AdamB. it looks at the difference in position/rotation/scale of two components and creates multiple copies with the same transformations applied to each copy in relation ship to the previous one.
you can find it in this thread.create a component of the first step of your spiral stair case. create a copy, move it up and rotate it around the stairs' centre.
then right-click the first step-component and choose "Play it again", type in the number of desired steps, followed by "x" (15x for example), then left-click the second component...thats it, you have a spiral stair case

I don't get it. I have the .txt file but renaming it to spiralstair.rb does not change the type.
Under "rename" and "properties" it still shows as a text file, not an rb file as my other plugins do.
I can't find any "all" option by right clicking.
I tried taking an existing .rb file and saving it as a new name. Then deleting the text and pasteing the spiral stair text into it. It did't work.
What am I doing wrong?

Stupid Windows... You need to turn off this Folder Options option before renaming extensions:

Thanks Jim. That did the trick.

Well, I got it installed correctly.
Now, how do I get it to work. It says select two curves (what curves?) and then what.
I drew 2 circles with a 1.5' radius, selected them and got a weird cone shape.

See this thread and this thread for discussions and examples.
Hope that helps,

I think I'll stick to making my spiral stairs in "Datacad" and importing them into sketchup.
This works great for me. It includes a handrail, etc.
