      Hi all. It looks nice in here. I wanted to install two different plugins, but each one contains a subfolder that is named exactly the same. Does this mean I can't have both plugins installed at the same time?
      Here are the links to the download pages I got from this very web site.

      Both these plugins consist of a .rb and a folder that contains a sub-folder named "CD_ICONS"
      I have no knowledge of how ruby works yet, but is just seems that overwriting the "CD_ICONS" folder would cause a problem.

      Thanks you all for being here.

        As it turns out ๐Ÿ˜„ if you check the contents of the two ' CD_ICONS' folders within the two tools' zipped archives there is no 'overlap' of their files... so both tools should install and work 'as expected'...
        BUT now for the bad news... ๐Ÿ˜ฎ
        Unfortunately you have chosen two 'packaged' sets that both have warnings attached to them... these are about files found within their archives that should never [ever] be installed into the Plugins folder [e.g. sketchup.rb! which comes in Tools supplied with Sketchup and can cause issues if an old copy loads form Plugins first - there are other similar files ๐Ÿ˜’ ]...
        IF you still want to try these two tools then p_l_e_a_s_e make sure that you carefully read the notes/comments about these 'rogue-scripts' that are wrongly packaged with these [somewhat outdated] toolsets and do NOT install those...
