[Plugin] Simple Plugin Installer

[TIG]

Most plugins have their download link in their thread's first post, usually it's at the end of that post.
' WorkPlane' is no exception.
See http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=274345#p274345
Look at the end of that post and there's the archive WorkPlane23.zip to download and install... It's been successfully downloaded 3,088 times !
A ZIP archive set of files etc is easily installed using the appropriate 'Simple Installer' option...

Awesome. Thanks again TIG! I'll make sure to look for the .zip file.

What version of SketchUp do you have installed? Do you have the latest maintainense release - released last week? It mentioned it fixed from faulty permission issues.

[JGA]

Thanks very much for the update. I found the original version worked very well.

Hey guys,
For some reason, the "Install Extension" option is not available to me.
Any fix for this? otherwise how do i go around installing the plugin?

Im using Windows 7 64-bit, Google Sketchup 8 Pro.

Attached a screenshot of the problem

Please, make sure you update your SU installation to the latest build. This was introduced during one of the SU 8 maintenance releases. You apparently have an older version.

[Dave R]

I believe the option was introduced with the second maintenance release. There have been three more since.

Didn't you get at least one notification that there is a new version of SU8?

[thomthom]

It was added in M2 - hence the requirement listing SU8M2.

Firewalls might block the update notifications. Our office does this. All though, when the firewall was more relaxed, I noticed that most uses just clicked away the notification. Messagebox-blindness.

Thank you guys. Apparently my "check for updates" option in preferences was unchecked.

And till now i have been using sketchup without ever facing issues so never realized updates have come.

Thank you ThomThom, I finally managed to get your shell plugin working, it's been really useful.
I'm glad to have joined this community, has already helped me a lot with my modelling work.
Looking forward to give some input from my side too

On a side note, I'm experiencing issues with sketchup becoming a little slower, i mean its lagging a little after the update, any input on this guys?

[thomthom]

Could be that you have run into issues with messed up toolbar registry items. Are you comfortable navigating the registry?

[archxcalibur1992]

Actually, I have no idea how to edit anything regarding the registry. But then I'm a fast learner.

Anyways the issue seems to have gone now after i restarted my laptop.

sorry mate.

I am Portuguese. can you tell me were i can find ruby console+ in the preference tab.

I have SU 8pro installed and it is not there.

How can i install cleanup3 plugin?

teach me please.

[Dave R]

The Ruby Console is under the Window menu.

[sketch-gary]

WOW!
I just installed your installer and I can now load all the .rb scripts that I couldn't before. I'm new to Sketchup and the ruby script thing was crazy - can't load .rb files - now I can.

Wonderful, thanks so much!

My sketchup doesnt have an " install extension" button .. any explanations ?

[Gaieus]

Hi Dima,

Have you got the latest version of SketchUp 8? This feature was introduced in Maintenance release 2 only.

[kungfu]

[massimo]

Look at the post above yours.

Because you need SketchUp 8M2 or newer.
