What is the PluginStore / ExtensionStore?
Sketchup extension install#
By accessing the Warehouse directly from SketchUp, you can download and install extensions directly into your current SketchUp session. If you do not see this toolbar, make sure the ‘Getting Started’ toolbar is visible.
Sketchup extension pro#
For current SketchUp Pro versions, you can access the Extension Warehouse from inside SketchUp by clicking the Extension Warehouse button from the toolbar. If the extension is not hosted by the Warehouse, the extension’s listing page will include a detailed description about the extension as well as a button link which will take you to the extension’s main website where you can get more information and purchase the extension. Some extensions require payment to download and may include an option for a free trial. Once you have downloaded the RBZ file, you must the install it using the Extension Manager.
If an extension is hosted on the Extension Warehouse, you can download the RBZ file directly to your computer as long as you are signed in. The Extension Warehouse is also a distribution platform for developers to host both free and paid extensions, as well as create listing pages for extensions not hosted on the Warehouse.
You can search the Extension Warehouse for a particular extension, or browse through all extensions by a specific developer. The Extension Warehouse is the official online store for SketchUp Extensions maintained by Trimble, owners of SketchUp. If you notice errors related to a particular extension, then be sure to download and reinstall the latest version of that extension as described above. However, there is a good chance that some of your extensions will not load or work properly so be prepared for errors. If you are an advanced SketchUp user, you may want to try the alternative quick method of migrating extensions by copying the contents of your old extensions folder to the new one where you want to move your extensions.
Sketchup extension how to#
Be sure to check with the extension developer for instructions on how to do this as the process may be different for each developer. If you forget to do this, you can normally reset your license activations. Note that certain paid extensions may use a different license systems and require you to first remove the license from your old computer before activating the license on your new computer. If you purchased an extension from the Extension Warehouse, you must reinstall it from the Extension Warehouse from inside SketchUp in order to properly migrate your license.
The ExtensionStore includes some tools for automating this process (if you originally downloaded the extension from the ExtensionStore) whereas with the Extension Warehouse, you can go to the ‘Downloads’ section to see a list of all extensions you have previously downloaded so you can easily go through the list and re-download the latest version of the extensions you wish to migrate. To avoid compatibility, loading, or license errors, the recommended method is to reinstall the latest version of your extension by downloading it from the same website that you originally received it.
