The recommendation is to keep things as simple as possible. Its existence also makes managing your installed Plugins through the SketchUcation tools Manager more convoluted than it needs to be. The SketchUcation PluginStore dialog's AutoInstaller does see the extra shared folder and therefore it will offer you a choice of Plugins folders for each installation-destination - but without its existence in the $: the PluginStore dialog will use the Users Plugins folder, without that extra prompt ! The native installer does not even 'see' that folder and always uses the Users Plugins folder. Having files in a 'shared' Plugins folder when you have no real need for it is simply confusing. I recommend you relocate ALL of its plugins into the Users Plugins folder and delete the then unnecessary Plugins folder, so that SketchUp no longer adds it to the $. If that folder exists SketchUp loads its contents as it starts up. There is an optional ProgramData.Plugins folder, which you can create, BUT that is a 'shared' folder that you do NOT need unless someone else on your computer wants to also use the plugins in that folder.
Sketchup always loads the contents of that folder as it starts up. Indeed, it is the only place used by the native 'installer' - you get no choice. The folder is the place for the installation of the User's plugins. I have it now up and running.Īnd congratulations for all SU and plugin programmers. Now, unexpectedly, these plugins were automatically installed at a different Plugins folder: C:\Users\MYNAME\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2015\SketchUp\Plugins. Then I installed the more complex plugins from the Extension Warehouse or the Window-Preferences-Extensions-Install Extension menu. To cut this post short, I created a plugins folder at C:\ProgramData\SketchUp\SketchUp 2015\SketchUp\ Plugins and selectively copy-pasted the ones that did not produce errors into this new folder. I then set to move some very useful plugins to SU 2015.
#Plug in for sketchup pro 2015 update
In a couple of days, I was most pleasantly surprised to receive an update to SU 2015, which is 64 bits!! Then I felt really glad to have updated!
Nothing wrong with that, as it is probably the larger market, but my activity is more concerned with engineering.įinally I decided to update to SU 2014 (something must have improved) and it was A LOT faster. I had not updated SU since version 8 because I felt that improvements were oriented mainly to architectural users.
