      +FWIW those missing 9 are not commonly used by powder-coating companies etc anyway... 😒

          Waste not want not. 😉

          I've extracted these into SKM files...
          Here's a zip file with the various SKM files RAL+.zip
          [which I've renamed slightly into 'anglicized' versions [Telegrau>>>Telegray] and to match other RAL SKM naming conventions].
          Extract them and place these 9 SKM files into the same folder as the other RAL SKM files [i.e. inside ../Materials/.. named RAL ?]

            Thanks for that TIG. I thought about using Gray instead of Grau but the rest of the list I downloaded was in English with the word Gray used on other names. I decided to stick with what I read.

            Also thanks for zipping up the SKMs. I figured for only 9 colors, they'd be easy enough to drag into the RAL library right from SketchUp but your way makes it easier yet.

                You can always load the extra 9 skm files, rename them back with 'grau' etc and they re-export back as new skm files... them remove die Englisch diejenigen...

                    Dear Burkhard...

                    Thanks for all the work!

                    But, I can't unzip it (tried in many ways) - when i do only one file is there?

                    Are you able to upload another one? I´m mac user, maybe thats why?

                    Many thanks in advance...to you and Holger K

                    Very Best
                    Allan

                      Download the ZIP.
                      If your MAC auto-extracts it then you have got all of the SKM files [hopefully in a folder].
                      If it does not, then extract all of the files into a folder...

                      Now place that folder of SKM files into your Materials folder's collect tree...

                      Restart SketchUp and ensure the collection is in your Materials lits...

                          Actually, it does work in both SU2013 and SU2014 but you have to go through some gymnastics and hold your tongue just the right way. 😉

                          Try extracting the contents of the attached ZIP file to the Materials folder and see what you get. On PC you'll probably have to use Open or Create a collection to get SU to look at the folder.

                                i rushed to thank but cant make it work on 2013. I copied the file in the materials folder but sketchup cant see it. I then made a ral folder and copied there the skm file. Sketchup sees the ral folder but its emty. Any other idea?

                                UPDATE: TIG saved my life everything is ok. TIG your king.

                                      I don´t know why the zip is damage or in a wrong format. i use windows8

                                      could you try RAR? normally WIN RAR can zip files open, too

                                      thank you Dean

                                      p.s. color and "farben" is the same, only the file is different 😉

                                            Hello,
                                            I've downloaded Tig's RAL file with English names (thanks Tig) and placed it in my materials folder, where all the colours are in a second folder and show as SKM files. It shows as a collection in the paint bucket but it's empty....I've tried a re-start a couple of times but still no joy.... help please 😄
