      I've asked Gábor to look into this too...

      @unknownuser said:

      Have you got SketchUp / sketchUcation.com allowed in your Firewall settings ?
      Firewall is managed centrally by IT I'll ask this; any specific port should be asking?

      @unknownuser said:

      Have you definitely set the User's Plugins folder Properties > Security > Edit permission to FULL, for each of those listed and applied/OK ?
      As you can see in my previous screenshot I have the Full access already, I can't change as it's managed by IT. I will definitely ask for a fresh update on that from IT.

      @unknownuser said:

      Have the permissions trickled down to all subfolders and files within that Plugins folder ?

      N/A

      @unknownuser said:

      If you open the SketchUcation tools Plugins Manager can you see the contents of the User's Plugins folder ?
      Yes

      @unknownuser said:

      Can you change them [e.g. disable one] ?
      Nope

      @unknownuser said:

      If you exit SketchUp and try again have those changes been kept ?
      N/A

      @unknownuser said:

      Can you send be by PM a screen shot showing all of your files/subfolders within Plugins 😕
      Coming right up in your PM inbox

        It looks like one of your IT guys "is protecting you from yourself".
        You need FULL read/write/modify permissions to your User's Plugins folder, AND these must also apply to the folder's contents.
        I suspect that there is some subtle limiter set up by them [perhaps under 'Advanced' ?] which you might not appreciate viewing the Properties > Security listings ?
        Perhaps it could also be Firewall related ?
        You'll need to have some meaningful discussions with your IT guys...
        Good luck.

        PS: Can you also set up [or get IT to set up] your SketchUp.exe to always run as administrator - under Properties > Compatibility - this might help too...

          How are you determining if a folder has "FULL Read/Write security permissions?"

            Right click on the folder Plugins, then properties as shown in the above screenshot.

              Thanks TIG I'm waiting for them to try out some options to test.

              I was able to set it up, didn't help much so far.

                Hi,

                The plug-in doesn't seem detect my Sketchup Make 2015. Is it normal (not implemented yet) or is there something I must do to fix this?

                Oh, and before I forget: the bundle option is a hit! Thanks a lot for that! 👍

                  it's ready and should be the first plugin you install. you are installing it from the downloaded file in 2015 correct?

                    Hi,

                    Yes. Downloaded here http://sketchucation.com/resources/plugin-store-download and installed from Window/Preferences/Extensions menu.

                    But Make 2015 doesn't show in the Bundle tab:

                        It's a bundle I created of my installed plugins in SU8.

                          I don't have my pc here to check but I think you won't have a bundle if you haven't used the tool to install any plugins. So on a new install you would download the su8 bundle and that would become the current 2015 bundle until you edit or add to it.

                            I guess you are expecting to see 'Bundle' named 'LEMINLAB-PROD-15' ?
                            Have you tried restarting SketchUp ?
                            In v2015 what does you're 'My Installs' tab show ?
                            If it's empty there is no Bundle.
                            Try installing a Plugins and re-check the 'My Installs' and the 'Bundles'...

                            If no joy can you try copy+paste this snippet into the Ruby Console + <enter>

                            puts;puts(SCF_Dialog.getMyPlugins.split('|').join("\n"))

                            This will tell us what is getting sent to the server...
                            It ought to star with your Computer-Name:SketchUp-Version
                            Then a list of available installed v2015 Plugins in order [both enabled and disabled]...

                            If still no joy then we need to get Gábor onto it server-side...

                                        I now get a message from Windows when I launch Make 2015 ("Do you want the following program to allow changes to this computer?").
                                        But it's still not working. 😢

                                        That last part sounds like a Filewall issue.
                                        Make sure SketchUp 2015 is set to allow it to make changes and access the Internet...

                                        Can you download an RBZ from the PluginStore page - linked above.
                                        Then install it using the Preferences > Extensions > Install button in v2015.
                                        Does its file[s] appear in the Users Plugins folder.
                                        Does it then appear in the Plugins Manager and My-Installs ?

                                        This is weird... 😕

                                          I enabled Sketchup in Windows Firewall.
                                          The "More infoé and "Donate" buttons work. But Autoinstall doesn't.
                                          The install tab is blank.

                                            Donate a little and see if that fixes it... 😆
