Hi all,
I’m trying to find the official SketchUp help page that explains how to manually install extensions that are distributed as .rbz, using the Extension Manager, in order to point users to it.
“If you download an extension from the Extension Warehouse via a web browser or from a developer’s website, your extension is packaged as an .rbz file that you can install manually. Here are the steps you need to follow:”
then no information about Extension Manager follows.
To the best of my knowledge, the SU team does not have the time and intention to update the help pages of EW2.0, since version released more than a year ago. Unfortunately the pages you referred does not corespond to the current situation.
To manually install .rbz file go to Windows>>Extension Manager, then click on the red butonon in the lower left corner “Install Extension”, then browse in the downloaded .rbz file and click open.
Hi Dezmo,
Well it’s not about EW2.0, it’s about the manual installation process which hasn’t changed…
I’m an extension developer, I know how to do it myself, but I want to be able to point users to a nice page with screenshots that explains step by step how to do it for dummies. I’d rather not re-invent the wheel when it is something that makes more sense to be provided by SketchUp. I’m sure that page used to exist!
