How To Download and Install Plugins



All of the Plugin Pages have a link to download the plugin. Typically, it will look like this:

Download: hello_world.rb

To download the plugin, right-click on the link to the .rb file.

hello_world.rb <<-- Right-click and select "Save Link As" or "Save Target As" to save the file to your computer.

Once saved, move the file to your SketchUp/Plugins folder. The default locations of the Plugins folder is:

for Windows:
C:\Program Files\Google\Google Sketchup 6\Plugins\


for Mac:
Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 6/SketchUp/


To activate the plugin, close and restart SketchUp.

I made a short tutorial, let me know what you think. It's for Windows XP and SketchUp 6.

Thanks Lots. By the way, the tutorial you've made in excellent. Will be revisiting your blog cause I'm discovering Sketchup.
Thanks again for your help.

I've tried downloading and installing various plugins and I've followed the steps precisely. However, after doing all the correct procedures there is no sign of any plugins added to the plugins menu. Any ideas what's going on?

Hi,
I am starting to work with Sketchup on a mac. I tried to install plugins but they do not work. I put them in the map as you have noted above. Does any one know what to do if the plugins do not instal by re-starting Sketchup?

Thnx
