How to INSTALL EXTENSIONS in SketchUp

[@fizahdesinyo9317]

Justin, that was very helpful. when Sketchup came out with the Extension Manager I think I sent 3 hours trying to figure out how to load the ruby scripts to Sketchup. At that time in 2016, I was just getting into extension, if I could have watched this video then it would have saved me a lot of time trying to navigate the Extension Manager. thank you for being the subject matter expert over SketchUp. I learn more every time I watch your KZbin videos.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks Jack - I'm really glad when I presented at Basecamp this year, all I had to do was use the extension manager rather than try to explain loading Ruby Scripts ;) !

[@al1619443]

Justin, I reset my text size and changed the screen resolution and finally got it to where the complete interface fits the screen. Thanks for your help, Allan

[@jasonmcdaniel8212]

My friend, once more a hidden gem pays off: the downloader tool from Sketchucation is itself nearly worthy of a video tip! No wangling RBZ's when the SKU native manager flubs (which it did, refusing to load this very video's extension!) As always, great work. Just the extension I need to quickly clean up the typically backward imported faces from an imported AutoCAD model I'm rendering. Selection tools was doing a lot of the "same face planes" quick moves, but hopefully this tool will beat it. Thanks and thanks to Didier Burr. I map flip faces to a shortcut on my gaming mouse it's such a common nuisance in SKU. It's esp important for proper rendering to orient them. Get some weird results otherwise. Keep up the great work!

[@freyalavin5958]

Such a helpful tutorial! for anyone else that has this problem - I added in the fredo push pull and lib and enabled both but it wasn't showing up, I found closing and re-opening Sketchup helped so if anyone is struggling that might help!

[@jocofi5852]

Hey Justin, Have you done a video on your process for upgrading to the newest version of SketchUp? Along the lines of having to re-install all the extensions and re-setup your settings. I recently came across your channel, great stuff man. Thanks for all that you are doing.

Awesome videos, always helpful! I tried following everything that you recommended but for some reason I am not able to get CutMap to show up in my drop down menu/toolbar. It is "installed" and enabled in the extension manager but I still can't find it...any ideas that might help me resolve this issue? I am trying to break down my designs and get cut lists/shopping lists if you have any recommendations that might make this easier. Thanks for putting out all the great content!

Good afternoon, I have SkecthUP Pro but I cant seem to figure out how to install/enable the extentions that I need for my program. I am a small business owner in woodworking here in TX and I've watched a bunch of videos but I can't figure this out. Plus, i noticed that your home SketchUp screen (on your video) looks a lot different then mine. You have a lot of additional buttons than I do and I really thought that when I upgraded to the "Pro" than I would have access to those additonal buttons. Can you please help my out with this?

I have sketchup pro 2016 and both the 3d warehouse and extension warehouse are disabled.

So is there still a way that I can install an extension under those circumstances? Thank you.

Hi Justin, thanks for another great vid. It’s funny that one of your instructional vids appear on another guy’s extension page. I think he liked your vid about his product. My question is that I noticed that I have a separate "Extensions" menu item with a couple of extensions listed like Weld and Shape Bender. It's sort of like a custom menu, but none of my other extension appear on this menu. Note however all my extensions appear correctly on the right-click toolbar list. Got any idea what this is about.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Those are things that sometimes get added by the extension developer - I'm not aware of a way to change that

Hello Justin, nice to see you back to your studio. I want to ask something. I am wondering here in most of the Asian countries the wooden doors and windows are painted wooden color but in the north american countries or most of the European countries doors and windows are painted white, why ? Is there any climatic reason ? Are those white doors and windows are made of wood plank or plastic?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

I don't think that's necessarily true. I work on a lot of buildings where wood doors received a stain and remain wood color. A lot of it depends on the application. For commercial construction, I think a lot of the time, the painted doors are hollow metal. For residential construction, I think the wood doors get painted more...

What do you do when... you've installed SU 2017 and the only extension you see is Shape Bender. You go to extension manager and do everything you've been shown to make extensions appear but they don't. You then go to the extension warehouse, sign-in, and choose a free extension, click download or install, try to click I Accept The Terms but it's greyed out. And then when you go to Sketchup support their reply is We don't support the free versions. Go find your answer in the SU community. My question is, why didn't SU 2017 automatically install everything needed in the beginning?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

SketchUp doesn't automatically install extensions...They mean go ask the question in the forums - did you do that?

[@al1619443]

I didn't mean that Sketchup should auto install extensions, but it should be simpler to get extensions to show up in SU. The only extension that's there when SU installs is Shape Bender. I then try extension manager and click install, highlight an extension and click open but nothing shows up. I then locate LibFredo6_v11.6a click open, nothing changes. Looked for a way to enable extensions on SU interface but nothing is there.What tops the whole matter off is when I go to Extension Warehouse to get extensions the Accept Terms is greyed out. I can't even get new extensions. Yes I followed directions on forums but nothing seems to work. Like I said before, I never had this problem with previous versions of Sketchup.
