      Simple rb files aren't to be loaded the way you are trying to do it. Just navigate to where you saved the RB file and move it into the Plugins folder. Or you can add the rb file to a ZIP file, rename the ZIP file to .rbz and install it as you were trying to do. Of course just dropping the rb file into the Plugins folder is easier.

        You are clearly somewhat "plugin-installationly-challenged".
        There are clear Help files on this in the Sketchup menu...

        Anyway... Plugins now come in four flavors.

        Two are as simple RB or more rarely encrypted RBS files that are simply put into the Sketchup Plugins folder.

        Two are as Archives of files and helper-files inside the tool's subfolder, in ZIP or RBZ format. When extracted from the archive, these again need to go into the Sketchup Plugins folder, keeping files inside their original subfolders etc...

        Simple files like this tool's RB also require a 'Lib' folder [again it's full of 'helper-files'] which is also linked from the tool's download page, so you need that too.

        Once a plugin is loaded you'll usually need to restart Sketchup to use it: it then appears in menus, toolbars etc as described in the tool's help pages...

        Rather than you having to find folders, extract archives etc the nice guys at Sketchup recently introduced the new RBZ archive format - which is actually just a ZIP file with a different 'extension'. The 'Installer' button under Prefereces > Extensions can then automatically extract the RBZ file's contents and install them into your Plugins folder... However, this tool does not readily cope with installing from ZIP archives, or with single RB/RBS files. Luckily thomthom has made a tool that itself comes in a RBZ format, that you can install using the native-tool button, this then adds a tool submenu into the 'Plugins' menu that lets you install any of the four file types. So after you have installed this you can install any tool's RB file, and then the supporting TT_Lib etc from its downloaded archive...
        Thmthom's tool is called 'Simple Plugins Installer' and it is easily found in the SCF 'Plugins Index' linked from our menu above...

          Indeed, I am... or at least I was... Just had to use the "ZIP file with a different 'extension'" technique...

          Saved the rb as a zip and then change the extension to .rbz for it to work. This plugin is wonderful and the help I get here is unmatched, thanks!

          BTW, I'm pulling really old .max files, opening htem in the 3ds demo, saving them as 3ds and then opening them up in SU and running this plugin. So far the results have been amazing.

            The other posts have helped me, the plugin didn't help for what I needed. ( trying to reduce my file size from 33.2 mb to the required 10 mb to upload to google earth ) This plug in is great though, thanks for all the help.

            Thanks,

                    See if this article helps: http://www.thomthom.net/thoughts/2012/01/installing-plugins-for-google-sketchup/
                    I'd advice you to check out the installer utility linked in the article.

                        Well, you give us almost nothing to go on to help you. 😒

                        Where did it get saved when you downloaded it? It has to go into SketchUp's Plugins folder for which you must have full read and write permissions. Did you also download and install TT_lib2 as directed in the first post of this thread? I'm guessing you didn't follow the instructions that were given or the plugin would work.

                              OK so i downloaden the TT_lib2 (2.7.1) file and the tt_cleanup file and put into the plug in folder.
                              Why is it crashing? at startup it said: Error Loading File tt_cleanup.rb
                              no such file to load -- TT_Lib2/core.rb

                                Did you install TT_Lib2? Using the Install Extension button under Preferences? Or did you just copy the RBZ file to your plugins folder?

                                And when you say "crash" - did SketchUp BugSplat? (Or did you mean you got an error message?)

                                  Sure, you must load also the new TTlib so TT_lib 2 😄

                                  (yes install plugins is more & more boring! 😒

                                      You need SketchUp 8 M2 or newer.

                                      this is the bugsplat:

                                      That is an error message. It is not a crash or bugsplat. It's a big difference and knowing exactly what it is makes it easier when trying to solve the problem.

                                      RBZ files needs to be installed with the Install Extension feature.

                                        Thank you very much Sir,

                                        Thomthom, indeed it is an awesome plugin that i can proudly say one plugin you cannot be without in Sketchup.

                                        Thank you very much again, Salutations.

                                          I got the plug in working but I have A model that's giving me trouble.
                                          what settings should I need to clean up this file?

                                            I wouldn't be able to tell - not knowing what result you are looking for. Nor do I know what problem you are experiencing - and what settings you used then.
