Installing rb plugin ... where??

[JoelM3DM]

An easy PC question...

I need to install some rb plugins and I've got a problem I never had with SU 2014. So far, my plugins have all been rbz autoinstalls, so I am looking for the plugins folder... but there isn't one!

Where do they go?

The default location on windows is now found at C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2015\SketchUp\Plugins

Generally with the new Windows System (mine is this path folders
/.../Users/ Users Name/ Application Data/ Roaming / Sketchup/ Sketchup 2014/ Sketchup/ Plugins /...

But with this new automatic system you don't need to know something!

Et voilà

"Sketchup 2014/ Sketchup/ Plugins"

This is 15, not 14. There is no Appdata sub of user. There is no Sketchup subfolder of sketchup 2015. The Tools folder has rbs in it.

I got it! I have to Show Hidden folders and files. (Option in the Tools menu.) - Joel

As an alternative that eliminates the need to show or even find the Plugin folders is to make an RBZ file and use Install Extension to install it automatically.

If you have a file zipping tool (7-zip is a good free one), select the .rb file and create a zip file. Then rename it from .zip to .rbz. Then you're off to the races. this also works for plugins that come as zip files. Just rename them and use Install Extension.

Oh yeah? I don't need to be a coding guru? That's easy.

[Dave R]

No. No coding guru. You just have to be able to be able to rename the zip file after you create it. Any chimp can do that.
