Hello,

Open a folder and in the Address bar type %APPDATA% and press Enter. Navigate to the Sketchup folder and open it. For every version of Sketchup you have, go into the folders and in the Plugins folder, delete everything about Raylectron (1 file and 1 folder).

Now install the RBZ file again, is it working now?

Can you run TeamViewer.com and let me know your id/pw (send me an email or via a PM) so I can connect with you and fix it?

It's because your user name contain Unicode characters and Sketchup does not work with Unicode characters when a plugin is .rbs or .rbe, it only works with .rb files. Moving the plugin to the program data folder works because your user name is not part of the folder path. In the application data folder, your user name is in it that's why it didn't work.

Have the same problem. "Support": Please specify exactly the procedure!?

1. Should I move the whole folder C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2016\SketchUp\Plugins?
2. There is no "Program data folder" (or do you mean C:\Windows8_OS\Program Files\SketchUp\SketchUp 2016?). Please specify exactly where to move (or copy?) the Plugins folder/contents!

Thanks in advance!

Move (do not just copy) the Raylectron4 folder along with the RaylectronExtension4.rb from...
%AppData%\SketchUp\SketchUp 2016\SketchUp\Plugins
to..
%ProgramData%\SketchUp\SketchUp 2016\SketchUp\Plugins


So open any folder and in the address bar paste the following and press enter...

%ProgramData%\SketchUp\SketchUp 2016\SketchUp\Plugins

... this will take you to your Sketchup 2016 other plugins folder where we will later move Raylectron into. Now paste the following an press enter...

%AppData%\SketchUp\SketchUp 2016\SketchUp\Plugins

...this will take you to your Sketchup plugins folder where Raylectron is installed. Select both the Raylectron4 folder and the RaylectronExtension4.rb file and press ctrl+x to cut them both. Now click the Back icon to go back to the previous folder which is the other plugins folder and press ctrl+v to paste the folder and the file.

Now start Sketchup and it should be fine.
