Seems that in SU2014 it is not working. Any plan to repair it/maintain anymore? Thanks.
Hi, I've made HB-metric 1.2 work with SU-2014 under Windows7.
It tries to find the file with timber sizes using old plugins location, it's just not there in SU2014.
All you need to workaround this and make the thing work is to put the "housebuilder_sections.txt" to old SU8-like plugins path.
So:
Step 1.
create the "Plugins\HouseBuilder" folder structure where you have your SU2014 installed.
Right like it was in SU8. No it's not there in SU2014. Plugins are now stored in "C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2014\SketchUp\Plugins", AKA
"%APP_DATA%\SketchUp\SketchUp 2014\SketchUp\Plugins"
Step 2.
Copy the file "C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2014\SketchUp\Plugins\HouseBuilder\housebuilder_sections.txt" to your freshly created Plugins/HouseBuilder folder under your SU2014 path.
Step 3. If you are using some custom flawor of HB 1.2, with non-latin characters in it (I am using the Russian-language version from Forumhouse.ru) - then you will also need to convert the housebuilder_sections.txt encoding to UTF8 (notepad++ or any other good text editor will do)
WBR,
