Only free plugins are listed?
example: I tried to find the topic about Thomthoms vertex tools, but are not longer able. With the old list and the browser search function, it was no problem...
Have patience
- all scripts that are downloaded from 'off-site' aren't currently included in these listings... this includes several 'paid' ones...I released Trial version of Vertex Tools only last week. It hasn't previously been possible to download it without purchasing it from my website.

It would be nice if the different fields can be combined for a search:
(example: search for solid inspector (Thomthom))

Thank you Cotty, a good suggestion. We will put it on our "to do" list and will realize it after we are ready with the area for Plugin Developers.

I thought the same thing about Trimble's Extension WareHouse...

Great job. Love this thingy!

I've downloaded SU2013 and the pluginstore.
When I install some plugins the symbols are marked as visible but they don't appear at my workspace.
What did I wrong?
-
After restart is it solved.
There's a known glitch in the new SU2013 that causes this.
I know TIG recently issued a fix for Extrude Tools that resolves this for that tool. But there is no way of knowing how many more will do this.
It is not an issue with the plugin store more so SketchUp

It is a known serious issue with v2013.
It happens with installing/loading plugins in several different ways - it's not just from the Plugin Store.
It also happens at random, so it's hard to track down.
I know Trimble are on to it... [they need to be!]Overview:
In v2013 when a new plugin is loaded, if that plugin makes a toolbar then that toolbar should appear floating in the top left quadrant of the main screen.
That is the system default and we scripters have no control over this.
Sometimes v2013 can decide [on a whim ] to put this new toolbar docked into the top-bar.
Which wouldn't be so bad...
If it wasn't for the fact that it also places it underneath any existing toolbars that might already be docked there !
And of course two docked toolbars can't occupy the same screen-space [which is something to do with quantum mechanics
] - so this then breaks the newer toolbar[s] stuck below the originals...There are two ways of [hopefully] fixing it as far as I know:
Brute force method:
Ensure that the toolbar in question is 'checked' in the toolbar dialog or dropdown list - so it set to be visible [but of course it's not visible as it's below other things !]...
Drag the preexisting docked toolbars off the top-bar, leaving them floating... until you see the 'hidden' toolbar beneath.
Try and drag that toolbar off too.
It'll probably remain 'glued' fast onto the top-bar !
Try double clicking on it a few times, this ought to loosen it.
Now drag it and place it floating or docked where you wish - it's hopefully fixed...
Tidy up the other toolbars again...Registry hack method
Alternatively, you can try hacking the Registry if you feel up to it...
This particular example covers my 'Extrusion Tools', but applies to any toolbar that matches the toolbars listing 'name'...
Close SketchUp... and the new toolbar settings are found in the Registry [Run > regedit] under:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SketchUp\SketchUp 2013\RubyWorkspace
Search in that for 'Extrusion Tools'...
You'll get something like:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SketchUp\SketchUp 2013\RubyWorkspace\ToolbarsUser-Bar2
Its actual 'Bar' reference will vary for your setup.
Make a note of its 'BarID' value, mine is: 59650
Now look through the nearby listed items for the THREE matches:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SketchUp\SketchUp 2013\RubyWorkspace\RubyToolBar-59650
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SketchUp\SketchUp 2013\RubyWorkspace\BasePane-59650
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SketchUp\SketchUp 2013\Pane-59650
Delete just those THREE entries in turn and close regedit.On a restart of SketchUp that toolbar should now be reset - it should appear docked nicely in the top bar.
You can then un-dock it and relocate it as desired...The sooner this issue is fixed the better !

...
And of course two docked toolbars can't occupy the same screen-space [which is something to do with quantum mechanics ] ...I believe this is termed the "API Toolbar Exclusion Principle" ...
... which basically postulates that at any given time you can know whether (or not,) a toolbar exists, ... but not where it is located. ..and visa versa.

What do you mean, er how do you do it?
-
Normally, Ctrl+F5
-
Since you haven't given us your OS details etc in your User-profile
... let's guess...
Webdialogs in SketchUp use your computer's default browser - which is always IE on a PC and Safari on MAC.
Sometimes when you have reloaded SketchUp tools that use webdialogs you might get older versions stuck in the browser's 'cache', and so the newer version doesn't appear...
To clear your browser's cache use its tools...
On IE it's:
Ctrl+F5 OR F12 then Ctrl+R... OK to apply...
On Safari it's :
Preferences > Advanced tab.
Select: Show Develop menu in menu bar
Now from the menu bar click Develop > Empty Caches...Being able to clear your browser's cache is a very useful ability.
Not for use just with SketchUp... -
Ahem , profile updatedTIG I did the clear up and still get the same message
any ideas?
-
Have you got/installed the latest version from here ?
http://sketchucation.com/resources/plugin-store-download
This gives you the SketchUp based equivalent listings...Your browser ought to access the SCF PluginStore site...
If it accesses other areas ?
Have you looked at your 'Internet Settings' to see if they block anything - like javascript ?? -
the SCF plugin store is providing a plugin that is compatible with SU 8 but not Su pro 2013. I am getting error like >>
"Error Loading File SectionPropCalculator.rb
undefined method `GetString' for nil:NilClass"can someone help me out, this one is an important plugin for me, I need it at any cost. it was working big time with SU 8 , but after I installed Su 2013 , I tried installing the same via SCF plugin to install it but
-
I'm going to make a guess that you have less plugins installed for SU2013? And that Section Properties Calculator is using the LanguageHandler function in SketchUp without
require 'langhandler.rb'defined - something it could get away with if another plugin loaded before it used. If now, under your new SU2013 installation this plugin is first to load then that would explain the error.SU2103 does not have any difference in the Ruby API from SU8 - so plugins should be working a like on both versions. So this would be an error that crops up due to difference in environment or setup.
-
I will correct the missing 'requires' in this script and repost it in the PluginStore as v1.1a
Watch for an update...v1.1a is now there http://sketchucation.com/resources/pluginstore?pln=SectionProp
