      I click on the link and when it goes to the error page, I then add the .rb in the address window. It then opens the code.

      All I can do is "select all" and copy to the clipboard.

      Then I can past into wordpad but can only save as a .txt file.

      How do I make it an .rb file?

        Just change save the file as .txt, then right click the file->rename and then change it to .rb.

          ...or just click off the file type "text" and select "any". That way, it won't add a .txt extension after the .rb

            an alternative could be to use a newly created script by AdamB. it looks at the difference in position/rotation/scale of two components and creates multiple copies with the same transformations applied to each copy in relation ship to the previous one.

            you can find it in this thread.create a component of the first step of your spiral stair case. create a copy, move it up and rotate it around the stairs' centre.
            then right-click the first step-component and choose "Play it again", type in the number of desired steps, followed by "x" (15x for example), then left-click the second component...

            thats it, you have a spiral stair case 😄

              I don't get it. I have the .txt file but renaming it to spiralstair.rb does not change the type.

              Under "rename" and "properties" it still shows as a text file, not an rb file as my other plugins do.

              I can't find any "all" option by right clicking.

              I tried taking an existing .rb file and saving it as a new name. Then deleting the text and pasteing the spiral stair text into it. It did't work.

              What am I doing wrong?

                Stupid Windows... You need to turn off this Folder Options option before renaming extensions:

                    Well, I got it installed correctly.

                    Now, how do I get it to work. It says select two curves (what curves?) and then what.

                    I drew 2 circles with a 1.5' radius, selected them and got a weird cone shape.

                        I think I'll stick to making my spiral stairs in "Datacad" and importing them into sketchup.

                        This works great for me. It includes a handrail, etc.
