        It has an entry in the PluginStore http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=jf_get_dimensions
        So you can get it as an RBZ archive for auto-installation.
        Manually installing RB files can be risky.
        Also note that this script is five years old and much has changed in SketchUp since then - however, simple well written older scripts like this can often work across many versions...
        Almost all scripts are now available in RBZ format making installation less fraught if you have >= v8M2...

          Is it possible to rewrite the plugin to make it installable from sketchup plugin center?
          Is it possible to make it look different - more modern, not as ugly popup window,
          for example: show in window dimensions (as we made height depth lenght measurement tool) and make the plugin 'active' or 'not active' so that every model i click shows its dimensions?
          Anyway, great tool, grats!

            It's already available in the Sketchucation Plugin Store. What more do you need? πŸ˜’

            Get the SCF Plugin Store extension and use it to install this plugin or just download the .rbz file and use Install Extension.

                  Greetings.

                  Alas it does not work with SU 2017 as far as I experience.
                  Should it be any equivalent or a version of that plugin for 2017 release?

                  Thank t=you in advance

                    What do you mean it doesn't work? I've been using Jim's Get Dimensions all along and it works just fine for me.

                    In fact, here's an example I made just now with SketchUp 2017.

                        You can either install the RB file manually or get the RBZ version here and use Install Extension or better, install the Sketchucation Extension Store tool and use it to automatically install the plugins and extensions host here on Sketchucation.

                          Can't seem to find the plugin in Extension Store... is still available, or was removed?

                            It seems that Jim has removed most if not all of his plugins.

                                As I wrote back in April of last year, Jim has withdrawn his extensions and plugins and they aren't available anymore. Get Dimensions was a useful one for me but I've not seen a similar one by any other author.

                                      What sort of upgrade are you wanting for a plugin that has been withdrawn and is not available?

                                        This is "GetDimentions" plugin modified by russian guy which does work well with SU2014Pro on WinXPSP3 with out "Bug repot" window after exiting of SU14.
                                        It was founded on YouTube channel "Geometry of Comfort".

                                        Another version (it may matchs for more newer SU) was published here:
