I uploaded the instal file here:

this kind of structure is often used to support ligths
the plugin makes a structure with 2 3 or 4 standards, possible dimensions range from 2 to 10 m
It is a demo version but functional

For those using SketchUp for Stage and Lighting this is quite a time saver.
I made something similar a few years back using Profile Builder but it was alot simpler than the detail in this.
Good job. I'm confused as to how someone can test/trial it?

to try the demo version of PLY shown in the video, download the instal file from this link
https://we.tl/t-s5Q4Lby9iJif you do so, you will be able to watch another video that shows the full version of PLY.
Full version has functions to get a bill of materials, modify structures by adding components, exporting to PDF, ...
it is a development i made many years ago, but i could not find anybody in France interested in it, so i stopped
If it draws interest among english speaking sketchup users, i could make an english version of the full version of PLY

I can see why you are reluctant/wary of distribution as you pack your components into the rbz.
All it takes is for someone to share a model on the 3DW and your hard work is out there. I'd refactor your demo to not have that level of detail.
I'd also Group the final output so that the outliner is not a huge list of items. Maybe better material naming as its non-descript.
Major time saver though.
