Kerkythea and Sketchup2014

JQL

For Mac you have two options on kerkythea site, in the page where you download the plugin.

(www.kerkythea.net)

Open the Zip file and there you have a text file with more instructions.

You can also use the same trick I recommended above, and change .zip to .rbz then go to Sketchup and in the Sketchup menu > Preferences > Extensions > install extension and choose the new rbz file.

just copy the su2kt.rb and su2kt folder, to the C:\Program Files (x86)\SketchUp\SketchUp 2014\ShippedExtensions, and it works fine.

Hi there,
I also have problems installing the plugin, after I read here there is a different way to do it for SU2014, so I tried it this way.

C:\Users<YourUserName>\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2014\SketchUp\Plugins\

But apparently my computer doesn't have AppData, it has Roaming but that file is empty.

Can someone help me with this problem?
Is there an other way?

Also I have windows 8, I don't know if that change things.

I really hope someone can help me because I really need it, it would be sad that I just upgraded my SU and won't be able to use KT.

Thanks!

Jim

It all works here. It works even better, because you don't need administrator rights anymore.

Not quite. The start.kst file is still being created in the Program Files folder which does require admin permissions.

I have changed the folder from .zip to .rbz. but I can't get the folder to show as a selection when I click 'Install Extension'.

All other plugins have installed successfully into SU2014 over the past day, but KT is giving me a bit of grief....!!

Hi mate, I have the same problem. Just to check, did you unpack the zip folder first, or does it still have the blue z on it after you changed to the .rbz extension?

It has to be unzipped first.

Best of luck!

If you turn a rbz into a zip you cant auto install from Preferences > Extensions. If you want to do that, you have to have a rbz file.

You just turn it into a zip if you know the folder where the plugins are located and you want to drag the plugin files to the folder. That is not standard practice and you must know what you're doing.

So, general rule, don't install plugins from ZIP.
