I just updated to Sketchup 2016 today and am trying to get my extensions back.There is one that I use from Smustard by JF Tools called Greyscale. It worked fine in my 2015, but I installed the Zip with the Simple Plugin Installer and it isn’t showing up and it is giving me a load error upon starting…

Remove it from the SketchUp 2016 plugins folder, change the extension of the ZIP file to .rbz and then use SketchUp’s Install Extension to install it.

Hi folks. I’m the author of that plugin. It is quite old. I can get it modernized but it may take a few days before I can have a look at it. I’ll post an update when ready.

Have you tried going into the Materials window and resetting the color? [image]

Interesting. It worked on some but not all. Good idea!

Hello everyone,

I use this plugin and need to install it on my current machine.

However, I can’t find it on Sketchucation and it’s discontinued on Smustard.

Where can I get this again?
