Smustard FAQ

Smustard scripts should be saved to your SketchUp/Plugins folder, with a .rb file extension. For example, "weld.rb". (There are exceptions to this for scrambled (encrypted) ruby scripts. These end in ".rbs" and must keep this extension name.)

For SketchUp Pro 5 on PCs, the path will be something like
C:\Program Files\@Last Software\SketchUp 5\Plugins

For SketchUp 6 and higher on PCs, the path will be something like
C:\Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 6\Plugins
(replace the '6' with the corresponding verson of SketchUp you are using)

For SketchUp 6 and higher on Macs, the path will be something like
Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Google Sketchup 6/SketchUp/Plugins
(replace the '6' with the corresponding verson of SketchUp you are using)

Once the script is saved to the correct location, it will load automatically the next time you start SketchUp. After that, follow the instructions from the script's web page.

If there are other files that accompany a script in a .ZIP file, the script's web page or the script's installation instructions will indicate where to place these other files.

TIP: When downloading a .zip file, save it to your Desktop or My Documents folder, or another convenient location.  Then open the .zip file and drag the entire contents to your Plugins folder.  The reason for this is that .zip files often have subfolder structures essential for the plugins to work correctly.
