Default folder for Ruby scripts, not accesible on Windows 10

The folder…
C:\Users<your_windows_user_name>\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp [n]\SketchUp\Plugins
in which we must save the ruby files, as said in the web first example of SKP, is not accesible for the current user of the system.

Is there othe form o execute scripts on SKP?

It is accessible but it’s a hidden folder. You can make it visible but you shouldn’t need it for most plugins and extensions. Install them by using the extension Warehouse, Sketchucation’s Plugin Store tool and Install Extension under Preferences>Extensions.

After “Users” you need to find your Account’s folder.
Also, find correct SketchUp version for SketchUp [n].
Just in case you didn’t know…

if your experimenting with writing ruby scripts, you can load them from anywhere you have permissions to write them…

in the ‘Ruby Console’ you can use…

load ""

if you type the path or drag a file in between quotes…
