How to INSTALL EXTENSIONS in SketchUp

Recently, I've gotten a few questions on how exactly to install extensions within SketchUp. This video will show you several places where you can download extensions, as well as how exactly to install them within your SketchUp models.

That moment where you say " Wow I'm on this page." Made me smile a big smile. You're so humble and a great teacher!

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 YouTube videos.

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!

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!

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

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.

[amruthamanjunath]

Thank you so much. This is very helpful and explained in simple terms.

[shrutisingh]

Your videos are of great help for beginners like myself! :)

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!

Great video, really helped out!!! Thank you :)

Great tutorial (as I come to expect from you) but what about the oldtime way of directly placing the .rb in a folder ? From where I started it was /Plugin, but since 2017 I found the .rb in /Tools ... I ask this since i need a tool that has no rbz. available, just the .rb ...

Hi! I am new to SketchUp and am trying to install the JHS powerbar, I installed it through sketchUcation plugin and I enabled it in the extensions manager but when I go to customize my toolbar it doesn't show up anywhere. What am I doing wrong?

[markmattson]

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?

[donclay]

I have sketchup pro 2016 and both the 3d warehouse and extension warehouse are disabled. I wanted to try another extension and had forgotten how to do it another way which I've done in the past way past my memory retention span apparently. So is there still a way that I can install an extension under those circumstances? Thank you.

[Lollypops]

Hi, How do i add Sketchucation to my extension list? Ive got 2020 version and it only has 4 extensions all by sketchup. Thanks for all your vids, really helpful!

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?

[lornamoodiekeyescompanyhob]

Hello Justin love your tutorial - how do I get the extension option that is between help and window. I just install Sketch up 2020 and its mission. Please help as I need to install a couple plugins. thank you
