No! The imperial version of Housebuilder at the link you provided has not been updated. The updated version is available in this thread right here.

No, No. NO !

Hi All,
I downloaded tigs version of housebuilder metric works ok for the most part except when i come to build a roof although i specify a size when built it reverts the lumber size back to the lowest size, and one side of the roof is not lined up properly, anyone else had this problem? is there a fix, great program pity if roofs cant be fixed
cheers -
Hi
First of all thanks for posting these files. I'm also having the same issue as "cedna". The thickness of the roof beams reverts to the smallest size in one direction, correct size in the other. The center beam is completely the wrong size. The end caps for the roof are the correct size though.
This isn't much of an issue I was also just wondering if there was a fix.

Also You could use these rb files:

But it will convert it back to imperial.

Those haven't been updated like the files TIG and I corrected. Please don't lead people down the wrong path. There've already been enough problems for users because they are installing the wrong versions. The last thing we need is more of that.

Since the RB files are scrambled, it'll take the original author to fix it. Unfortunately it doesn't appear that he has the time to devote to editing his extensions. You could try contacting him, though.

It's a shame that the metric files have been scrambled or we could have tried to find the issue.
I guess everyone is having this problem?
One option would be to use the imperial plugin which doesn't seems to.have these issues but create custom imperial sizes to reflect the metric ones.
Using the other.rb files worked for me otherwise I wouldn't have posted them. Sorry to add to the confusion in this thread.

Hi !!
thankyou very much for this file.
I installed the metric version in my SU 2015, the first time it worked well, but now when I try to make a wall the progran shoot down inmediatly......

You don't open the file itself. In SketchUp, go to Window>Preferences>Extensions. Click on Install Extension... Navigate to where you saved the Housebuilder.rbz file. Select it, click Open and any affirmative answers. In the Extensions window make sure the Housebuilder extension is checked to load. After that, you should find the Housebuilder toolbar in View>Toolbars.

I downloaded the Housebuilder but I do not see where to plugin on Sketchup. Please help??
-
open sketchup. Then windows -> preferences-> extensions -> install (rbz file).
You can modify the size of beams in txt file, located in main sketchup plugin folder/ housebuilder.
Enjoy

Thank you so much for the help!

Hello, i am having trouble loading Housebuilder. I have a Mac v10.10.5 and i just downloaded Sketchup version 2017. I downloaded Housebuilder from the Ruby library and changed the files from .rb to .rbz. I then go to extention manager and click install extension. I find the Housebuilder files and they are clickable. When I try to install the files it lets me click them but a window opens stating they could not be installed.
- Apparently my Mac auto unzips the files and I cannot find where to change that option.
Thanks for any help

There are two places where you went wrong. First, the version in the Ruby library no longer works. Second, simply changing the file extension from .rb to .rbz is not the correct process. The .rb file needs to be compressed into a .zip file and then .zip changed to .rbz. There's a lot more to Housebuilder than one .rb file, too. The entire package needs to be included in the ZIP. I already made a .rbz file for the imperial version and TIG made one for the metric version. Both are available in this thread.

Thank you for your feedback. I apologize for you having to take the time to answer my post. I know many have done it through this thread.
When I posted my question I was only reading the posts and I did not register yet. Once I registered all the links everyone posted worked. I found the correct link (I think it was yours) and it loaded and started working fine. Once this happened I tried to go back and delete my question but it had not been approved yet.
Again, sorry to waste your time but thanks again for helping.Jim
