      I want to add plugins to sketchup but rbz files won't work in sketchup 8.
      Is there a way to install them with another program. I installed them manually and they don't work. Give me options, if any.

        You need version 8 M2 or above to be able to install rbz-plugins...

          You did not indicate whether you had tried Window> Preferences>Extensions and selected the Install Extensions button...
          Another way:
          RBZ is a form of zip file. You can actually rename the file extension to ".zip" in windows and unzip it to the Sketchup 8 Plugins subfolder. Let the plugin/extension deploy its script and any attendant folders.
          That is, unless something has changed for Sketchup8?
          EDIT: and I didn't see Cotty's reply. That is very possibly the issue.

              The preferred way is as Cotty suggested. But the other way should work. You really should check for the M2 update:
              http://help.sketchup.com/en/article/60107

              But you really should consider having 2014. I have had a good experience with it.
