        Did you download the RBZ file? If so, go to Window>Extension Manager and click on Install Extension... Navigate to where you saved the RBZ file, select it, choose Open and any affirmative responses after that. It should be installed correctly.

            So I just bought sketch up pro 2017, does anyone know if I can use house builder with this version.

            Thanks I know this is probably the dead horse getting beaten over and over again.

                Thanks for all those links they worked wonderfully. I stumbled across don't the tutorial on you tube and followed extra old advise. Then I was reading these treads without being a member so didn't see your Sage level advice and links.

                Thanks again.

                  Is there anyway to get this extension to work with SU 17 pro ? - i have tried all methods and all i can get is the toolbar & icons to appear but no functionality ?

                    Housebuilder works just fine in SU2017. See posts above yours. How about telling us exactly what "all methods" means. Apparently you're missing some important step.

                      I have Mac OS X 10.11.6; SU Make 17; with TIG's modified HB for Metric.

                      Problem 1: My HB doesn't have the Windows & Doors tool like the videos I watched. What I have is Wall, Gable Wall, Roof & Floor.

                      Does anyone know where I can get the HB (mac, metric) that has these features?

                      Problem 2: Additionally, from a previous thread I downloaded the timber sizes file posted by another contributor, as I am also in Oz and realised that the timber sizes I am using are not available on the list, but I don't know where I could install the file. This program is like a fiat with a sealed engine. I can't see the folder structure with components. Is there a way I could upload the file somehow with in the program like I did with the plugin through Extension Manager?

                        Hoping someone has new links to the download files? I get a message "The requested topic does not exist." when i click on Dave R's link above (Imperial: viewtopic.php?f=79&t=56772&start=60#p556663).

                        Is there a new link somewhere for the imperial version? Thanks

                            I downloaded the rbz extension file and it says it is unsigned and has to be digitally signed.

                              If you have your Extensions Manager > Extension Loading Policy set to Unrestricted you can load unsigned RBZ files.
                              Many older RBZs are not signed, but work just fine if the Policy is relaxed.
                              Why do you need to be so 'careful' ?

                                Hi,
                                first of all thank you for a great job with keeping alive that old plugin 😄

                                I want to do translation of this one for a friend and also change some small things.
                                However housebuilder.rb and housebuildertool.rb (in folder) are encrypted. Is there any way to do anything to get acces into the code itself? I've already translated toolbar and changed all the lumber sizes, but all the popups are problematic for my friends 😞

                                  The encrypted RB files can only be unencrypted by the author so you would have to contact him. Based on history, he hasn't been interested in doing that, though.

                                        To get/use any RBZ you just download it.
                                        You do not 'process' it.
                                        If WinRar thinks it ought to extract it, then stop it doing that.
                                        An RBZ archive is actually a ZIP archive with its file-type suffix changed...

                                        Once you have an intact RBZ file - perhaps it's in your Downloads folder - then you just use the 'Install Extension' red button in SketchUp's Window > Extension Manager menu item, and select the RBZ...

                                        When it is installed, then its menu items, toolbars etc should become available to you...

                                          It is the 2017 Version. Yeah every time I try double clicking the RBZ file, I asks how I would like to open it and I can’t find a program to open that file. I have a Microsoft surface pro I believe with windows 10 and it’s been difficult

                                          Which version ?
                                          Contact its author - it is probably easily fixable...

                                          I am a complete noob at doing all of this. I have downloaded the metric link and since i have WinRAR on my computer, it goes directly there. I have no idea what to do next or how to get into my 2017 Sketchup Pro.

                                            How do you open this? Everytime i click it my computer asks me what app would i like to use and it never gives me sketchup as an option.
