Hello every body, so i new creating extension for sketch this rute exist? C:\Program Files\SketchUp\SketchUp 2026\Ruby3.2\bin

NO. This is not the path to the Ruby binary library for SketchUp.

SketchUp compiles it’s own Ruby interpreter library which is x64-ucrt-ruby320.dll on Windows and it is located in SketchUp’s binary folder location at:
C:\Program Files\SketchUp\SketchUp 2026\SketchUp

You do not need this path however, because SketchUp always loads the Ruby interpreter.

Why do you think you need the Ruby binary path?

Thanks, well i want to install a external library using “gem”

Rubygems is always loaded.

To install a gem use:

Gem.install("gem-name") # install latest version

or …

Gem.install("gem-name", "1.4.3") # install version "1.4.3"

REF: module Gem - Documentation for Ruby 3.2

Please note that inside SketchUp, you can only install precompiled or pure Ruby gems.
The Ruby Dev Kit is not loaded inside SketchUp.

It is also required that gems be wrapped within your own module namespace for extension that are publicly released. This avoids gem version clashes when another extension needs to load a different version of the same gem.
