    I just installed House Builder on my Windows machine. I'm using Sketchup make, 2014. When I watched a video demonstrating this plugin there was a tool for windows and one for doors. Is this feature no longer a part of the plugin or am I missing something?

      Those tools are there on my SU2014 install. How did you install it? Perhaps you didn't get it installed correctly?

        Awesome Share! Thanks for the metric version. The official website has been down for a long time. Is there a repost of the imperial version packaged like this here? I can't find it…

          Like some others here, I am unable to get the House Builder toolbar to install despite following Tig's instructions to the letter numerous times, namely, deleting any house builder related files in the plugins subfolder of Sketchup, renaming the downloaded housebuilder.zip file to housebuilder.rbz, and installing housebuilder via the Windows/preferences/extensions/install method. It does install house builder which can be used from the Draw menu in SU2014 running on Windows8, but the toolbar for windows and doors appears nowhere including in the list of toolbars which can be checked or unchecked. I'm stumped.

            Where did you get the version of the plugin you're using? So far every time this complaint has come up, it's turned out that the user has been using an old version. Getting the newest version and installing it seems to fix it.

              I got the plugin from a link in a review somewhere. The extension warehouse which is part of SU 2014 does not find it. Perhaps you could simply provide me a link to the correct place to download it. Thanks.

                There is no-where to get the plugin anymore. The official website has been offline for some time. I heard about this plugin and really needed it. I found these forums. Unfortunately the only version hosted here that worked is metric version.

                I'm trying to design a house in the US, so this won't work. Can someone please post a copy or the copy they have of the US version? I have the one where you can modify the file to put any sizes you want, but it's metric only.

                            For anyone needing good links. Just put it in your plugins.

                            METRIC :
                            http://cl.ly/2s0m063u2f0m

                            IMPERIAL (North America):
                            Doesn't exist?

                            I'm not sure if you guys are talking to me or dave? It's obvious most of the people posting have a good working copy of the imperial version. Would be wonderful if you could take 30 seconds to share. Metric is the only version I can find, and that's not useful in the US for design.

                            I'm planning out a little tiny house build in a few weeks and want to estimate the 2x4 I will need 😄

                              After downloading the zip and renaming to .rbz it only opens the file but nothing to load. Any suggestions?

                                "This link" that you refer to in your post appears, at least, to link to the METRIC version. Perhaps I was unclear, I need the Imperial version. ckizer seems also to be unable to get to the Imperial version.

                                      The original imperial version installs and works in all versions including v2014.

                                      If you meant that it didn't appear in the Plugins menu after it was installed/loaded - if you read its notes carefully then you'd see that its submenu item is under the 'Draw' menu !...
                                      Alternatively, perhaps activating its Toolbar, so that you can run more easily it from there, would resolve your apparent issues...

                                        Guys I'm not sure if you aren't understanding. Link me to the file. I've seen all those other threads referenced here and none of them have a working link to the download of the imperial version. You keep telling me how to install the plugin which is the easiest part. The part I need is a zip file of housebuilder for imperial. Both of the threads you keep linking to have 404 errors when you go to click the link to download the plugins. Surely it wouldn't take more than 30 seconds to repost the plugin you already have?

                                        What am I missing?

                                          The screen shot I posted today was made a few minutes before I attached it. I didn't get a 404 error when I followed the link. Box followed it today, too. He didn't get a 404 error, either. Something must be wrong on your end.
