Need help with rubies
-
Ok folks, I need help with how to download rubies. I know the path they need to be saved in but, when I download a ruby script the default is set to notepad. I've tried to save them in sketchup but that doesnt work.....So can someone please explain how to download these scripts and more importantly how to save and install them.... Keep in mind that, I'm somewhat of an ignoramus when it comes to computers...I've tried the ruby forum at Smustard but no answers..... so, any help is greatly appreciated thanks for your time
Thanks people :O)

Hi Rashad,
If you finally get to the "link" to a ruby file, that is, indeed just a simple text file and if you click, will be opened by your broswer, so when you are there, just right click > "Save target (or whatever your browser says) as..." and navigate to the Plugins folder of SU. Make sure that the .rb extension is also saved with the file.

Thanks Csaba... So i save it using the notepad (default) and I get a sketchup icon with the ruby name, Is this right??
If i open that sketchup ruby file in notepad... I get a buncha scripts... what do i do then... Do I just drop that file into the ruby part of SU7??? Because when I do that and then open sketchup and check to see under plugins..... nothing is there ????? -
Its ok I figured it out now, and have them .... now i just need to learn how these work LOL
