      I got the plugin from a link in a review somewhere. The extension warehouse which is part of SU 2014 does not find it.

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

      Perhaps you could simply provide me a link to the correct place to download it. Thanks.

      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

      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.

          For anyone needing good links. Just put it in your plugins.

          METRIC :

          IMPERIAL (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 πŸ˜„

            After downloading the zip and renaming to .rbz it only opens the file but nothing to load. Any suggestions?

            Thanks,

              "This link" that you refer to in your post appears, at least, to link to the METRIC version. Perhaps I was unclear, I need the Imperial version. ckizer seems also to be unable to get to the Imperial version.

                I did give you a working link. πŸ˜’ The link in the post I sent you to is not a dead web page as you assert. It takes you to this page where there is a handy "Download" button clearly visible. This is for the imperial version of the extension.

                    The original imperial version installs and works in all versions including v2014.

                    If you meant that it didn't appear in the Plugins menu after it was installed/loaded - if you read its notes carefully then you'd see that its submenu item is under the 'Draw' menu !...
                    Alternatively, perhaps activating its Toolbar, so that you can run more easily it from there, would resolve your apparent issues...

                      Guys I'm not sure if you aren't understanding. Link me to the file. I've seen all those other threads referenced here and none of them have a working link to the download of the imperial version. You keep telling me how to install the plugin which is the easiest part. The part I need is a zip file of housebuilder for imperial. Both of the threads you keep linking to have 404 errors when you go to click the link to download the plugins. Surely it wouldn't take more than 30 seconds to repost the plugin you already have?

                      What am I missing?

                        The screen shot I posted today was made a few minutes before I attached it. I didn't get a 404 error when I followed the link. Box followed it today, too. He didn't get a 404 error, either. Something must be wrong on your end.

                          I have downloaded and installed from the original link in my original post which dave has linked to and downloaded from.
                          It installs and works perfectly in imperial.
                          Perhaps you need to change the units of your model.

                            I downloaded the file today, in the US, about 5 hours ago. The page worked fine, then. It worked fine again when I went back to it to make the screen shot.

                              Ruby Library Depot Website has NOT been working for multiple days anywhere in the US. You might be able to visit that page but that french URL is not available to anyone inside of the US. Specifically California comcast.

                              Specifically until this exact moment you told me to try right now this morning did it work. It still wasn't working 3 hours ago. But right now it's up.

                              Thank you. I was very familiar with that link, it just wasn't working on any comcast/us computers and multiple people on youtube sketchup channels and forums have been asking why the site was down since June 20th 2014

                                I was able to get the files just now off ruby depot. It still doesn't resolve to my friends in New York on Time Warner. It looks like that website had downtime and several edits to their DNS entries. Potentially DNS wasn't setup correctly? (Network Datacenter Admin here) πŸ˜„

                                I had all the links, and such they just weren't working πŸ˜„ now they are. Downloading and mirroring them for all πŸ˜„

                                        cziker, these guys consider a "link" to be a link to their post, not a link to a web page. I finally Googled "Ruby Library" based on the screenshot on the post I was provided a "link" to. I found the web site with the Imperial download and, following Dave R's instruction to rename the .zip to .rbz, etc., it did install and it did finally include the toolbar for windows and doors, etc. So, if you haven't already found it on your own so far, here is the web page you can find it at: http://rhin.crai.archi.fr/rld/

                                          "These guys" are you fing kidding me. We posted direct links to the very page you have now miraculously found. Go back and look with you eyes open. Dave even downloaded the file from that page and attached it to his post so all you had to do was click on it to download it.
                                          What on earth do these guys need to do to help you.
