Cannot get full size template ruby installed

[Gene Davis]

Am operating in SU7/free. Downloaded the ruby, and placed the file with the other rubys. See pic. As can be seen, its extension is .rbz.

It is not in my tools dropdown.

Help.

.rbz files won't work with SU7 and SU8 under M2 version, you must rename ###.rbz to ###.zip then unzip.

Hello Gene, where've you been?

From my blog post that gilles linked to:

If you are using an earlier version of SketchUp, you won't have that install option but you're not sunk, yet. Rename the plugin file from .rbz to .zip. then open the file with 7Zip or your favorite unzip utility. Extract the files to the Plugins folder. Be aware that the file structure must be exactly as it is when you open the zip file, see above.

Also go to Window>Preferences>Extensions and make sure gk Postscript Plot is checked.

Thankew veddy much. I was on nanny duty out west, a long spell of it, helping our daughter with some little ones while a new one was coming. That baby in my avatar is now a preschooler, with a younger brother and now a baby sister!

It is time to get some picnic tables built for the family members, and the legs will need patterns, as can be seen here. A number of different web sellers sell this somewhat generic table, so I did not think modeling it was in violation of any copyright. After all, look at all the Thomas Moser furniture in the Warehouse!

I will pop this table set into the Warehouse as well.

I bet that nanny duty wasn't all that unenjoyable.

That table looks nice. I'll be interested to see some photos of the finished product. What kind of wood will you use.

There is a lot of Thos. Moser stuff in the warehouse but at least most of it is put there by them. Actually, I drew and posted the first 65 or 70 pieces that were posted for them. They've expanded it since then.
