[Plugin] SketchUcation Tools

TIG

SketchUp allows you to install Plugins, these usually into your user's Plugins folder.
These add extra abilities and functions.
Extensions are a subset of Plugins which are coded in a slightly different way, affecting how they load when SketchUp starts.
You can use the native Extension Manager to affect how these Extensions load [or not].

Our PluginStore hosts a mix of older Plugins and newer Extensions...
You can download the RBZ versions of all of its entries and install them using the native Extension Manager...

The SketchUcation Toolset toolbar has three tools [there are more in its submenu item under 'Extensions' [the main menu used to be called Plugins in older SketchUp versions]

The Tools are:

ExtensionStore³
This is a version of the web-browser PluginStore, opening in a dialog from within SketchUp itself and offering the ability to install directly into your system without needing to download and then install the relevant RBZ - it also has some other tools like reminders that a previously installed item has been updated, or to use 'bundles' for installing onto another computer...
PluginsManager
This offers a dialog letting you unload/load/temporarily-load all listed plugins [and extensions] by name - either individually or en masse. When an item's loader rb file is unloaded, then after a restart it's no longer available until you reload it. It loads an extension, then that is not shown in the native Extension Manager after a restart, until its loader rb is loaded again.
The dialog also has options to make sets of plugins to load/unload en masse.
ExtensionsManager
This dialog is quite similar to the PluginsManager - but it only affects 'extensions' [non-extension plugin rb files are not listed] - to a great extent this is now duplicated by the native Extension Manager which came along later...

There's already the option to turn off and on the Toolbars created by plugins / extensions...
see: View > Toolbars... which opens a dialog in which you can tick/untick all available toolbars by name...

I am running SketchUcation Tools version 3.1.0. I wanted to update to the latest version but am having problems. Maybe someone can give me the proper steps for updating the tool (I have already downloaded the 4.1.3 rbz file).

Dave R

You can either go to Resources at the top of the SketchUp web page, choose Plugin Store Download and download the .rbz file. Then in the Extension Manager use Install Extenstion to install it. Or you can open the Sketchucation Extension Store Tool and fine the Extension Store. Click on the Download button and it will install. The latter option would be my preference because then it will keep track and if there's an update to it later, let you know when you open the ExtensionStore panel.

The download button is not showing up.

Show a screen shot of what you are seeing.

ntxdave

Will show one tomorrow.

Thanks for the follow up Dave.

TIG

The initial default dialog size is probably too narrow to show all of the buttons.
Drag its side out until it's wider and all 3 buttons show...
Also adjust the dialog's height as appropriate.
Once it's to your satisfaction SketchUp should remember its size next time...
If it doesn't remember, then it's possible that SketchUp hasn't been installed using 'run as administrator' on it its installer's exe file - there are posts about that too...

OK I have things running but it says I have version 4.1.3. I need to get the latest version.

TIG

4.1.3 IS the latest version !

Well, all of a sudden it seems to be gone and I cannot reinstall it for some silly reason.

Here is what I see when I try to add in using the nomal routine.

What is gone? The Sketchucation toolbar?

What do you mean by "normal routine"? There's nothing about displaying toolbars in Preferences>Workspace. The normal way to select and show toolbars in SketchUp is to go to View>Toolbars and tick the boxes for the toolbars you want to see.

Sorry for the confusion. I was in a hurry before I left the house. I thought I Had to reinstall the SketUcations Tools because the icons were missing from the toolbar I was trying to reinstall it but as my screenshot shows, there is no Extensions option in the Windows Preferences setting. I did not stop to think about the screen for putting the tool back on my toolbar.

Too many things (not related to the technology) and I seem to be making one stupid mistake after another lately. I hope you guys will not give up on me.

There's not supposed to be an Extensions "option" in Preferences. Extension Warehouse and Extension Manager have been separate from Preferences for a few versions of Sketchup. You'll find them at the top of the Extensions menu.

So did you find the toolbar in the Toolbars list?

Got to wait until I get back home to look at the toolbars,

No, here is what I did find....

I am having problems finding the SketchUcation stuff.........I think I clicked something that made it disappear and now I can not find the right way to get it back.

Dave R

Maybe disabled it in the Extension Manager?

If the answer is no you're going to have to let me see your computer.

ntxdave

OK - I finally got things back to normal.

I went to the Extension Manager and uninstalled SketchUcation.
I shut dow SketchUp and then reloaded it.
I went back to the Extension Manager and clicked on the Install Extension
When the extension finished installing, I drug the SketchUcation toolbar back up where it used to be.

So, I think I am back up and running the way it should be...........

Hi, I installed the last version 4.2.3 in Sketchup 2017 & macOS 10.13.6 and when I select Extensions Menu > SketchUcation > SFCLicence : Global Status, it appears this console message:
