Firstly, please excuse my ignorance in this matter but I have only been using Sketchup for a matter of days!
My problem lies in trying to to get RubyTMIX to run in Sketchup. The Ruby website says to open the file location and to put two files into the ‘Plug Ins’ folder but that location doesn’t seem to exist any more.
I have found a couple of Ruby extensions under Windows>Extensions Warehouse.but have no idea if they refer to the same thing, the names are certainly difference.
The RubyTMIX program is used to export Sketchup models into Trainz (a simulator)
Any assistance that anyone can give me would be appreciated
According to the web page, this extension hasn’t been updated since January 2013, prior to the acquisition of SketchUp by Trimble (the page repeatedly refers to Google) and prior to the migration to Ruby 2.0 in SketchUp 2014. The authors only say it supports SketchUp 8. So, although as @Box says, it seems to still run, if you use it in a newer version of SketchUp be prepared for the possibility that it may encounter mysterious errors and the author may have moved on! Good luck!
Thank you for the reply and I understand the but about renaming the file but unfortunately the file doesn’t allow renaming.
Also, for it to work another file needs to be loaded at the same time, the actual RubyMTIX file, which has the trainzmeshimporterin it, and I would guess to be the most important part.
Go to the folder in which you have the zip file.
Look at the menu at the top, click the one that says View.
Tick the box that says File name extensions.
This will show the .zip, rename the file to .rbz
