Brian, it appears you misread what was said. Box and TIG have already given you correct info that should fix what you've done. For the next person who comes along, do the following and it will work just fine.

Download HouseBuilder_extension.zip.
Do not open the ZIP file.
Rename it HouseBuilder_extension.rbz.
In SketchUp, go to Preferences>Extensions.
Click on the Install Extension button.
Navigate to where you saved the file.
Select it, click on Open.
Click on Yes and the OK.

Housebuilder will now be installed. On the PC click on OK to close Preferences. On the Mac, just close the Preferences window.

Dave R thanks so much for the directions. You should be writing for the Ruby Library site on how to install for su2014. There explanation is for the aliens. The tool finally worked. Your simple, but direct directions worked perfectly. Even though you dumbed them down what good is it if the people reading can't understand them. Great Job and thanks.

I hate to jump in with the same question but after downloading it from the Ruby Library I have it save on my desktop. When I go to see the file it is in a zip folder but the title is HouseBuilder_extension. I read one article where they said rename the zip folder to HouseBuilder_extension.rbz. this is not correct. When I look into this folder I the following:

Folder: HouseBuilder (includes icons)
RB File: HouseBuilder_extension.rb
Text File: HouseBuilder_extension
JPEG: housebuilder_install

Several said you must rename files but this is wrong others said you must go into SU2014 after downloading and under windows/preferences/Extensions and click the button that said "install extensions" when I did and searched for the folder on the desktop it was empty and I go back in and check an stuff is in there. There is an issue with HouseBuilder and SU2014. If someone has successfully complete this install please post an explanation why this is not working when we are following it exactly like you are telling.

I am on Windows 7. SU 2014.

Thanks
