I have been trying to install house builder with no success, Im on a mac with sketch up 8. I downloaded the Housebuilder extension from the link provided and my mac must unzip files for me as I have yet to see a.zip file show up when I download the link. I compressed the folder that was downloaded and changed the.zip to a.rbz file. I added the.rbz file to sketch up by using the preferences - extensions - install extensions method and it says the installation is complete, but I don't see an option to choose the Housebuilder extension. Well I downloaded the new version - changed the.zip to.rbz - pointed to it in sketchup/preferences/pluggins and it loaded - great!
Only one problem. The metric dimensions used don't in fact reflect Australian timber sizes. In the past I have opened the Housebuilder_sections.txt file and altered the dimensions - e.g. A 4' x 2' is a 100 x 50mm which I have changed to a 90mm x 45mm which is what we use here in Aussieland. Now the text file is incorporated into the.rbz file so I can't access it. I tried reloading it but it won't do it. So I uninstalled v.2015 - I deleted the C:/Programs/Sketchup folder that was left (as it had retained the plugins folder) and reinstalled 2015 only to find that Housebuilder is now a permanent pluggin which I can't un-install and which has the 100 x 50mm as standard.
I was hoping to reinstall it with the altered sections.text file but I can't do it as housebuilder is now permanently installed despite completely uninstalling 2015. Cannot install HB on Mac (OS 10.6. Rapcore Blogspot. 8) in SU8.01. I have downloaded HB folder on my desktop containing garage_tour.skp (no model in scenes), HouseBuilder.rb and HouseBuilderTool.rb I open SketchUp >Preferences >Extensions and Install extension. I navigate to the HB folder >open and all contents are GRAYED out preventing installation.
I am thinking I should manually install HB and I cannot find any SU plugin folder to place HB into. There is no SU plugin folder in the folder I purchased from SketchUp and I cannot find any SU plugin folder on my Mac. Any help is greatly appreciated. The HB plugin looks enormously useful. I guess you haven't read through this thread. The correct installation process has been give multiple times here. From your description it sounds like you downloaded the ZIP file but it got unzipped automatically by your OS.
You really ought to set it so that doesn't happen. Medieval 2 Total War Kingdoms No Cd Patch here. It would make things easier.
Install Extension requires that the extension be packaged as a zip file whose file-extension is changed to.rbz. The reason Install Extension didn't work for you is you have no.rbz file to point it.
As for the Plugins folder, in current versions of SketchUp it does exist but it is in a hidden directory. There's no need for you to access it directly if you have files structured correctly and install them properly. Your profile indicates you're still using SketchUp 6. Is that correct? This is a known annoyance of the UI.inputbox drop-down list.
It can be overcome. If you know the start number for the size. Click in the drop-down box to highlight it - on long lists you can't see all entries.
If your size is off the list. Christv Keygen. Start to type in the start number. The list selection jumps down to it highlight the first item starting with that number. Use the up/down arrows to move to the desired size which will now be nearby.
The only other way is to make a webdialog to do this in html/js, but that's another story. Dave R wrote:I guess you haven't read through this thread.
