      My computer does not recognize the rbz extentions and I don't know what the problem is. I'm not a IT dude so keep the explination simple.
      Thank you

        .rbz is just a compressed .rb. You can rename it as .zip and then unzip it. If you want to directly install a .rbz in SU go to window-->preferences-->extensions-->install extension.

            If you have SketchUp v8 > M2 [and v8M5 is the newest... so you probably do !] - or ANY v2013 etc... the Preferences > Extensions > Install... button takes a chosen plugin's RBZ archive and installs it for you into the main Plugins folder - without the need for you to wear out any brain cells pondering what to do with it...

            If you have >=v8M2... and also have the SketchUcation PluginStore Toolset installed, then its dialog will let you AutoInstall Plugins/Extensions directly into SketchUp without even downloading the RBZ...
            And... unlike the native installer... it also allows you to install into your own custom-plugins folders...
            It also has an Archive Installer [run off the menu] to auto-install the few plugins that come as RBZ/ZIP archives which are not directly listed in the very comprehensive PluginStore database... and also other useful tools like its Plugins and Extensions Managers, its Plugins-Uninstaller etc... 😲

            So... well worth a little research on SCF... πŸ˜‰
