Housebuilder

Thank you TIG for the METRIC version.
Installed okay in Skp 2016 and Skp 2017 on 64_bit W10.

Could not get it to install correctly on Skp 2016 32_bit W10 desktop.
Any suggestions as to why that might be?

No idea !
If it works OK in v2016/v2017 64bit I see no reason that it doesn't in v2016 32bit.
When you installed the 32bit version did you do it the recommended [only sure-fired] way:
find the installer's exe icon [or get it again] and right-click > context-menu > Run as administrator...
Being the admin or having admin-powers is simply not enough to ensure a good installation.
Installing it incorrectly can lead to all sorts of subtle weirdness...

You probably don't need to uninstall and reinstall, first off ensure that version of SketchUp is closed, now try running its installer exe as outlined above, and choose 'Repair'...
Try reinstalling the RBZ etc and test...

Thank you, TIG for your suggestions.

I managed to get it to function in 32bit W10 by disabling
plugins. Looks like there is a conflict, I did not identify which one
as I used plugin SETS.

Did you download the RBZ file? If so, go to Window>Extension Manager and click on Install Extension... Navigate to where you saved the RBZ file, select it, choose Open and any affirmative responses after that. It should be installed correctly.

Great plugin and awesome install instructions....

Still rocking 8... but CANNOT find skp file anywhere... the garage tour. I once used it and thought it was great. I have not found it in the zip files... can anyone provide link to the skp garage tour. thanks

So I just bought sketch up pro 2017, does anyone know if I can use house builder with this version.

Thanks I know this is probably the dead horse getting beaten over and over again.

Dave R · 7 Aug 2017, 20:06

Yes. Housebuilder does work in SU2017.

Sleipnir · 7 Aug 2017, 20:47

Thanks for all those links they worked wonderfully. I stumbled across don't the tutorial on you tube and followed extra old advise. Then I was reading these treads without being a member so didn't see your Sage level advice and links.

Thanks again.

Is there anyway to get this extension to work with SU 17 pro ? - i have tried all methods and all i can get is the toolbar & icons to appear but no functionality ?

Housebuilder works just fine in SU2017. See posts above yours. How about telling us exactly what "all methods" means. Apparently you're missing some important step.

I have Mac OS X 10.11.6; SU Make 17; with TIG's modified HB for Metric.

Problem 1: My HB doesn't have the Windows & Doors tool like the videos I watched. What I have is Wall, Gable Wall, Roof & Floor.

Does anyone know where I can get the HB (mac, metric) that has these features?

Problem 2: Additionally, from a previous thread I downloaded the timber sizes file posted by another contributor, as I am also in Oz and realised that the timber sizes I am using are not available on the list, but I don't know where I could install the file. This program is like a fiat with a sealed engine. I can't see the folder structure with components. Is there a way I could upload the file somehow with in the program like I did with the plugin through Extension Manager?

Hoping someone has new links to the download files? I get a message "The requested topic does not exist." when i click on Dave R's link above (Imperial: viewtopic.php?f=79&t=56772&start=60#p556663).

Is there a new link somewhere for the imperial version? Thanks

oneear · 11 Nov 2017, 16:28

Nevermind, i found it in a different thread and it installed perfectly in SU 2017. Here is the link i used:

I downloaded the rbz extension file and it says it is unsigned and has to be digitally signed.

TIG · 6 Mar 2018, 13:38

If you have your Extensions Manager > Extension Loading Policy set to Unrestricted you can load unsigned RBZ files.
Many older RBZs are not signed, but work just fine if the Policy is relaxed.
Why do you need to be so 'careful' ?

Hi,
first of all thank you for a great job with keeping alive that old plugin

I want to do translation of this one for a friend and also change some small things.
However housebuilder.rb and housebuildertool.rb (in folder) are encrypted. Is there any way to do anything to get acces into the code itself? I've already translated toolbar and changed all the lumber sizes, but all the popups are problematic for my friends

Dave R · 11 Mar 2018, 11:07

The encrypted RB files can only be unencrypted by the author so you would have to contact him. Based on history, he hasn't been interested in doing that, though.
