SU2014 and what am I doing wrong?
-
I downloaded SU2014 and went to Windows->Preferences->Extensions to put in curviloft, fredoscale, and fredolib. I found them and I downloaded them into a plugins file on my desktop. They all had the standard .zip. I then changed the .zip to .rbz. When I was done, I got a popup that said that the plugins were ready to use. But they do not appear in the extensions menu or the toolbar.
Can I fix this? If I can, how?
With SU8, the extensions worked fine! -
You should install the SketchUcation Plugin Store... 2014 has need of different file locations. If you install the pluginstore following their directions, you can then install anything else you need from within sketchup. By saying that you have your plugins installed on your desktop leads me to believe that could be an issue. I personally have not installed anything into 2014.

The steps you describe are somewhat confusing...
If you download the latest versions of the three tools you speak of, from the SCF PluginStore they arrive as RBZ files - so why get ZIP files and rename them.
With the RBZ in your download folder, you can then use the v2014 Preferences > Extensions > Install... button to install them.
You will need to restart SketchUp to fully load Fredo's Lib and a few other tools...
An even easier way is the install the SketchUcation Plugin Store Tooslet [see Resources menu link above] - install that from its RBZ as explained earlier...
Now login to the PluginStore dialog as if you are on the SCF forum [it's a one off login] and thereafter you can AutoInstall ay of the hundreds of Plugins in the PluginStore, and these are automatically downloaded and extrcated into the correct Plugins folder for you...
The toolset includes extra tools - Managers for Plugins and Extensions, Uninstaller etc... but let's walk before we run...
