I tried going into Export tab to try to do something. When I export in 3D, there is no ASE options but fbx and others.

As far as any PlugIn Tab n the tool bar, it is absent as well...

This is called Enigma!

That'll be because you're using sketchup 2016 not sketchup 8.
When you install sketchup 8, the file directory will be as it says on the page, and the exporter will appear under the "plugins" tab.

If you really want to keep using your sketchup version, you could try moving the .rb file to this location:

If you manually place the file there, you'll probably have to change your permissions to see those directories. By default, I think some of them are not visible

Yes,but the link you give (ie; http://www.rodneyandberty.com/downloads/) does not give Sketchup 8 but 2016 so you should update it or remove it...The name of the exe file is SketchUpMake-en, not SketchUp 8

I'll try again with the new link and keep you posted.

Roland

The rodneyandberty link is the plugin only. The Google drive link is sketch up 8


Yes, but when I went on Muvizu, on this link http://www.muvizu.com/Wiki/wiki/57/import-objects-ase-importing-to-muvizu-from-sketchup,

where I downloaded everything, the link he mentions for Google SketchUP, does not give SketchUp but SketchUpMake-en...

This is where the mistake is on this link... Your sharing link works...]]> Sun, 20 Dec 2015 11:46:31 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5369-how-to-install-ase-exporter-in-sketchup.aspx Message from MrDrWho13 roland1963 wrote:

I already downloaded this stuff... The path mentioned in the link, ie, (c:\program files(x86)\Google\Google Sketchup8\Plugins),

is incorrect with Windows 8...

The operating system shouldn't affect the installation path at all.
Are you sure you're using google sketchup 8? I have a download link for it here if you need it:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-_4UVPr59ACNjBQSTNYRjNwQkE/view?usp=sharing


Well, I installed via the link you provided. It gives SketchUp 2016... Not 8...Maybe it is the same thing, it does not says..

BUT the version given in your link is 32 bits and Windows 8 is 64 bits...Maybe this has something to do with it...I guess it should not but..never know...

I will try the sharing link and see how it goes...]]> Sun, 20 Dec 2015 10:31:52 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5369-how-to-install-ase-exporter-in-sketchup.aspx Message from MrDrWho13 roland1963 wrote:

The Extension Warehouse and SketchUp were made to work together. In most cases, to add an extension on your local copy of SketchUp, you simply click the Install button on the extension details page and wait a moment while the software does the rest of the work.

I get absolutely no Install button...When I click on the link, it just downloads this .rb file and nothing else, no application whatsoever...

Nothing is relevant to what is going on on my Windows 8 on those links...

I will try your path, install the .rb file and will see what goes on...

I am trying to create an object, and I downloaded Sketch up. However to export to ASE format, you need the exporter.

However, I read the link http://www.muvizu.com/Wiki/wiki/57/import-objects-ase-importing-to-muvizu-from-sketchup

However, on this link, the gentleman gives a link to download some kind of .rb file to use to export as ASE file but he does not say how to install it,neither where!
He says to click on the link but alll what you get is a .rb file and no more instructions!Whaaaaa?

So I am left with useless stuff...

Does anybody know what to do with this.rb file he says to download to be able to export to Ase?

Thanks in advance

I am using Windows 8...
