      Hi- imported D. Bur file & ext. but could not get house builder to load into s-up. Went back and loaded S. Hurlbut files (2005) and got h-builder to load - but get a r-click error noise. Anybody know if there is a particular file or folder I need to delete to eliminate r-click error noise? Thanks!

            Download the zip file again - something is adrift.
            Extract the files and subfolders containing files exactly as they are in the original zip file.
            Many unzippers put the stuff in a folder named after the zip file.
            The contents of that folder should be put into the Plugins folder.
            Never move files out of the subfolders they come in as the script is expecting to find helper files etc in the subfolder[s]...
            Restart Sketchup after sorting out the files and follow the tool's instructions...

              I've had this problem too before, on old computer and did figure it out but been so long ago can't remember. Getting a new computer and installing Su and plugins got this problem again. Downloaded D. Bur's latest
              http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=1518 right click error ping after installing plugin all rb. and subfolders where they should. So deleting HB plugin and running Su no right click error ping. Downloaded original from Ruby depot by S. Hurlbut start up SU and ping is back. Conflict in plugins somewhere for now just muting computer but I can't listen to I tunes while modeling what a bummer. Maybe someone will be able to come up with an answer.

                Sorry - I am looking for the imperial version of housebuilder updated. Was able to download the metric version w/out issue. Would love the imperial version w/out right click error noise.

                Thanks

                  I use the imperial one regularly with no issues. Try this one:

                  http://rhin.crai.archi.fr/rld/plugin_details.php?id=185

                  It should work.

                      Find every '.rb' file in the set you downloaded, then using Notepad.exe or a similar plain-text editor open them and use Find+Replace for UI.beep >>> #UI.beep - the added '#' will stop the beeping beeps beep!! 😲

                        THANK YOU MIGHTY TIG! You have lessened my ulcer and prevented me from pulling what little hair I have left out...Even a computer dolt like myself was able to follow your simple instruction! - the offending rb seemed to be a 51kb file at the bottom of the hb folder. Now - I noticed that the metric version has a nice little material list packaged with it...

                          Ahh, terribly sorry. I didn't understand the problem. Yes, that beeping is horrific. Glad you guys were able to figure it out,

                            In the version I downloaded there is no beep to be found in the rb text.

                              i do find the nice little material list in there. but not that 51 kb rb file.

                                %(#FF0000)[IN later versions perhaps it was removed by the authors ?
                                If it's making a 'beep' something must be telling it to do it 😕]

                                very strange: the two lines in red were not written by me! 😲 it is not nothing I would not write but in fact I did not do. would the editor present himself (herself)?

                                    I do not think so. hackers do not write messages like that. my guess is that some of the moderators did it and forgot to sign the edit.

                                        🤣 for that, i just submitted the forum URL to Virus Total to see if there is any kind of disturbance. and the result doesn't show any kind of thing that might be serious. 😄

                                            Seems I opened a can of worms I see Tig removed the beep that I mentioned. I removed original HB plugin and replaced it with metric and used the user friendly mac version. error loading script So I'm guessing ( I usually know just enough to get myself in to trouble) it's a problem with the ruby ext finding the HB folder mines in MacHD>Library not in User> Library I don't know if that helps or makes things worse.
