EXTENSION WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT
-
Hi All,
Happy new year to everyone. I'm starting a new project and am in the process of re-installing my plugins from the extension manager as i recently updated to 2018. there a re a few extension that say they are now incompatible but I still have an option to install. they are path copy and weld, two invaluable extensions to my workflow are there compatible equivalents or does it not matter if I re install
Im also clearing out all the extensions that I don't use, there are a few in the list that do not have any option to remove. Any ideas how I do remove them?
Have a look at the screen grab to see what I mean.
Thanks
Luke

They get marked as "incompatible" if the compatibility list hasn't been updated. It doesn't mean they won't work. For the extensions shown in your screenshot, it's just a case of someone hasn't gotten to them yet to edit the compatibility list. You can go ahead and install them.
Path Copy does work in SU2018 as it always has in previous versions. I use TIG-Weld instead of the Weld plugin from the EW but I expect that one works fine, too.
As for Trimble Connect, that one can't be uninstalled. Even if you manually remove it from the Plugins folder, it will reinstall it when you open SketchUp. There is a small group of extensions that come packed with SketchUp and Trimble Connect is one of them. It won't hurt anything to leave it installed if you don't take advantage of the service it provides.
Before you worry about TruOffset, you might want to look at the native Offset tool. It was updated in SU2017 and may do what you want.

Thanks Dave,
Good to know that about the path copy and weld plugins. The others I was referring too were actually fluid importer and profile builder. would be nice to eliminate them from my list also I have had the true offset in my list for years and as its no longer needed would like to find a way to get rid of it. I got it as a trial and never bothered go with a full version but its always been there in my list of extensions annoying me.
Any ideas how to get rid of those?
Thanks
Luke

I'll have to do some research to see if there is a way to update your list of extensions. It hasn't been an issue for me since I know they aren't installed. I rarely have a need to even look at that list.
