Hi. I've downloaded TT_Lib2 as I want to use QuadFaceTools_0.6.0 in SU7.
Do I need to install the TT_Lib2 folder with all 50 items that are in the TT_Lib2 folder into the Plugins folder?

Many thanks

If you're unsure on how to install the plugin I'd advice you to use this utility:

Hi thomthom.
I had a look at the link and it says the utility is for SketchUp 8M2 or newer
(i'm on SU v7 Mac)

Upgrade to v8

Are you using Pro?
If not, then I'd also recommend you upgrade to version 8.

To manually install you'd need to ensure the files are located in such a manner indicated by the footprint description:

Thank you, I will eventually upgrade to 8. I will have to do it manually.

Do I still need to install all 50 items in the TT_Lib2 folder?

thomthom · 15 Feb 2013, 13:51

Yes, all content in the TT_Lib2 folder needs to be intact. Lots of them depend on each other.

Thanks for the awesome update thomthom!

Thanks. I have that and I have run the little installer as well.

It's going now. thank you.

You see. . this is why I really shouldn't be wearing the green badge.

I've been making it easier with my newer plugins, they will open a webdialog with a direct link to where to download.

Maybe you don't have the latest SU8 version?

dmitryzhuikov · 23 Mar 2013, 18:57

Ok, will try with latest

Hi.. I wonder why whenever I try to install TT_Lib2 2.7.1 into my sketchup 8 Pro, its always stated as 2.6.0 version. The CleanUp3 plugin cannot be used due to that issue. Please help.

Please fill out your profile information with OS and SketchUp version.

Since I don't know what OS you have I have to guess - but I'm guessing you have Vista, Win7 or Win8. And you might have UAC enabled - which can restrict access to your plugins folder.

Some files might have ended up in VirtualStore. Install this utility and use the "Check VirtualStore" menu under Plugins. http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=48399
If there are files in the VirtualStore you should move them to the real plugins folder. And you will need admin rights to do so.

Otherwise I'd recommend you manually remove the old TT_Lib and install the new one.

Oh, btw - note that RBZ files is not the same as RB files. You need to use the "Install Extension" button to install RBZ packages. Just copying a RBZ file to the Plugins folder will not work.

petrusyap · 21 May 2013, 11:20

Hi Thom, thanks for the prompt reply. I am using Windows 8 Pro 64bit edition and have the UAC disabled. I use the install extension from the Preference >> Extensions menu to install the rbz files and but the system always identified the plugin as 2.6.0 when i try to use Libfredo Check For Plugin Update feature. But i will try the VirtualStore plugin as you suggested. Will keep u updated in minutes. Thanks

Hi Thom,

The error still remain the same. I try download the TT_Lib2 2.7.0, 2.7.1 and 2.8.0 from the BitBucket as well but still detected in the system as 2.6.0. Shall I try to re-install my SketchUp? Installed the VirtualStore Plugin, if i clicked on the Check Virtual Store, the windows automatically direct me to the sketchup plugin folder. Is it done correctly? Thank you

No - if it opened a folder it means it found files in the VirtualStore folder.

Observe the full path to the folder opened in Explorer. If there was no files in VirtualStore you should have just gotten a messagebox.

Also, when you navigate to the actual Plugin store you should see a button in Explorer "Compatibility Files". This is also an indication of files in VirtualStore.

Hi Thom,

I think i found out the problems. You are absolutely right. The problem lies in the VirtualStore. So, shall I empty all the files in the VirtualStore folder? Please advise. Thank you.
