      Hi folks,

      I am using SU 8.0, consequently no "Install Extension" button on the Preferences panel display.

      I have no trouble installing a .rb plugin by copying to respective Sketchup8 plugin folder. Such plugins (.rb) work as advertised.

      How do I install a plugin with .rbz as the file type??

      Thank you!

        Rename the file from .rbz to .zip
        decompress the files into the plugins folder. That is the same folder that you copy your .rb files to.

          Wow, you never even bothered to get the maintenance releases of SU8?

          As Garry says, rename the .rbz files and you should be in good shape.

            I believe that the maintenance release of SU8 was from Trimble and has a very different licensing agreement as does the original release from Google.

            I myself decided not to go with Trimble's update.
