Housebuilder
-
Are you sure you are installing the right version, that several other members have reported success with in v2014 ?
That error message looks like a version incompatibility...
E.G. what is the file type of the installed file rb or rbs ? -
House Builder metric v1.2
O.S. Windows 7 ultimate
SU 2014
-
Is housebuilder metric different to housebuilder? It certainly appears to work in metric and in SU2014.
http://rhin.crai.archi.fr/rld/plugin_details.php?id=185Yep there's the difference.
Housebuilder works Housebuilder metric doesn't.

That 1.2-metric version in Didier's Depot is incompatible with v2014.
The two .rb files in its subfolder end with
.unpack("m")**.to_s**
if that's changed to
.unpack("m")**[0]**
it will load...
But then there's another error raised: because the original author has hard-coded the path to the housebuilder_sections.txtfile as if there is always a Plugins folder in the SketchUp folder... which is OK <=v2013 on PC... BUT of course with MACs and with v2014 the Plugins folder is now in the User folder-tree !By 'packing' his scripts it makes fixing things difficult - after unpacking and correctng the problems I have 'repacked' it so it remains obfuscated...
This attached version is fixed [by me] - NO guarantees
BUT it does work for me OK...Perhaps Didier can update his Depot version...
-
Works for me.
A strange plugin though, It uses groups where components would be far better.

THANK YOU TIG

IT WORK FINE
WHAT IS YOUR PAYPAL TO MAKE A DONATION? -
Thanks so much, TIG

I just installed House Builder on my Windows machine. I'm using Sketchup make, 2014. When I watched a video demonstrating this plugin there was a tool for windows and one for doors. Is this feature no longer a part of the plugin or am I missing something?
-
Those tools are there on my SU2014 install. How did you install it? Perhaps you didn't get it installed correctly?
-
Awesome Share! Thanks for the metric version. The official website has been down for a long time. Is there a repost of the imperial version packaged like this here? I can't find it…
-
Like some others here, I am unable to get the House Builder toolbar to install despite following Tig's instructions to the letter numerous times, namely, deleting any house builder related files in the plugins subfolder of Sketchup, renaming the downloaded housebuilder.zip file to housebuilder.rbz, and installing housebuilder via the Windows/preferences/extensions/install method. It does install house builder which can be used from the Draw menu in SU2014 running on Windows8, but the toolbar for windows and doors appears nowhere including in the list of toolbars which can be checked or unchecked. I'm stumped.

Where did you get the version of the plugin you're using? So far every time this complaint has come up, it's turned out that the user has been using an old version. Getting the newest version and installing it seems to fix it.

I got the plugin from a link in a review somewhere. The extension warehouse which is part of SU 2014 does not find it. Perhaps you could simply provide me a link to the correct place to download it. Thanks.

There is no-where to get the plugin anymore. The official website has been offline for some time. I heard about this plugin and really needed it. I found these forums. Unfortunately the only version hosted here that worked is metric version.
I'm trying to design a house in the US, so this won't work. Can someone please post a copy or the copy they have of the US version? I have the one where you can modify the file to put any sizes you want, but it's metric only.

The Extension Warehouse host a lot of plugins and extensions but not all of them.

I would have done so but I made the apparently false assumption you'd actually read this thread before posting. So here you go: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=79%26amp;t=56772%26amp;p=533150#p519203

And then the post after that where I attached a fixed metric version !

I did read the thread, but the link in that post goes to a dead web page. I made the false assumption that you'd actually give me a working link.

You are mistaken - that link opens the post a few above this one...
The one above that contains my fixed metric version...
http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=519210#p519210
This link go directly to my post...
If it's still not working for you, the how are you using it?
A left click moves to the post, a middle click opens it in a new tab...

For anyone needing good links. Just put it in your plugins.
METRIC :
http://cl.ly/2s0m063u2f0mIMPERIAL (North America):
Doesn't exist?I'm not sure if you guys are talking to me or dave? It's obvious most of the people posting have a good working copy of the imperial version. Would be wonderful if you could take 30 seconds to share. Metric is the only version I can find, and that's not useful in the US for design.
I'm planning out a little tiny house build in a few weeks and want to estimate the 2x4 I will need
