Old wood expansion plugin
-
I havewood_expansion_calculator.rb this old wood expansion plugin and tried changing the extension to .rbz and it does not load in SketchUp 2019. If someone can easily modify the plug in so it can be used in the current version of SketchUp I would be very grateful as it is a very handy tool when designing in solid wood.
Thanks

JeffI have not changed the coding merely facilitated the change to RBZ. Try it & report back.

It did not work. Operator error?what are your extension load permissions set to?

They are set at unrestricted

Any other thoughts on how to get this old plugin to work would be greatly appreciated.

It's easy enough to get it to load, just drop the .rb into the plugin folder, the plugin will load without error but when you use it it attempts to open a web dialog that doesn't work.
I suggest you check with the author. jpzATsrww.com> -

Thanks again for your suggestion (also all of your modeling tips!) and looking at the plugin to find the author, as I had forgotten where I had found the plugin. I emailed Joe Zeh and he sent me the files required and this very useful plug in is now working. If anyone is looking for this contact Joe - jpz@srww.com
Great community we have here
