[Plugin] Simple Plugin Installer

archxcalibur1992

Thank you guys. Apparently my "check for updates" option in preferences was unchecked.

And till now i have been using sketchup without ever facing issues so never realized updates have come.

Thank you ThomThom, I finally managed to get your shell plugin working, it's been really useful.
I'm glad to have joined this community, has already helped me a lot with my modelling work.
Looking forward to give some input from my side too

On a side note, I'm experiencing issues with sketchup becoming a little slower, i mean its lagging a little after the update, any input on this guys?

Could be that you have run into issues with messed up toolbar registry items. Are you comfortable navigating the registry?

archxcalibur1992

Actually, I have no idea how to edit anything regarding the registry. But then I'm a fast learner.

Anyways the issue seems to have gone now after i restarted my laptop.

WOW!
I just installed your installer and I can now load all the .rb scripts that I couldn't before. I'm new to Sketchup and the ruby script thing was crazy - can't load .rb files - now I can.

Wonderful, thanks so much!

My sketchup doesnt have an " install extension" button .. any explanations ?

Gaieus

Hi Dima,

Have you got the latest version of SketchUp 8? This feature was introduced in Maintenance release 2 only.

Because you need SketchUp 8M2 or newer.

Massimo, i had seen that post. I've asked if there is another way to instal rbz files. I dont want change my sketchup version. thank you.

Gaieus

In that case, simply change the *rbz extension to *.zip, open the archive and copy the content into the plugins folder of your SketchUp application.

It worked! thank you, Gaieus!

Hi to all, i have a problem with sk 8 pro, do not upload it to m2. It's possible a manual installation? How can I use the plugins with the extension rbz without the button "install extensions" or without the Maintenance Release 2? What's the difference between "VERTEX TOOLS v 1.1 and BEZIER SURFACE? What's the best? Thanks for help. Greetings to all.

Dave R

Why wouldn't you upgrade to at least the last maintenance release of SU8? If you really aren't going to do that, change the .RBZ extension to .ZIP. Then you can extract and manually install the files within. Make sure you maintain the file structure within the downloaded file. Also make sure you read the thread from which you download the file and be sure you get any required supporting files and install them correctly, too.

Hi.I have a problem for installing the "rbz" files. I just updated SU 8 pro, BUT I CAN NOT INSTALL PLUGINS rbz! I followed all the explanations, but without solving the problem. In my System Preferences window, there is no "Ruby Console+" (why?)but in Windows <Ruby Console, yes. The file to be loaded with rbz system preferenes <install extensions or Plugins<Install, must stay in the plugins folder or can stand even in the desktop? Messages SKETCHUP when I install the plugins rbz are ok, Quadface Tools STAY in the System preferences Window but I can not find it in tools / plugins ! Can anyone help me please? Thanks.
