Trouble installing plugins.. I'm running on Ubuntu, every time I try to install a plugin I get the following error pop-up from sh3d. Running command: /usr/bin/sweethome3d ExportToHTML5-1.1.sh3p Getting "Can't import plug-in" pop up in dialogue box. I've also tried manually moving the extract into ~/.eteks/sweethome3d/plugins but it doesn't seem to recognise it. Thanks. |

Re: Trouble installing plugins.. DO this - CTRL H (this shows hidden directories) - go to /.eteks/SweetHome/plugins (or something similar) - if "plugins" doesn't exist, create it - copy the plugin(s) to that directory - (re)start SH3D ---------------------------------------- Hans new website - under constuction hansdirkse.info |

Re: Trouble installing plugins.. Thanks hansmex.. I'd tried all that stuff already and copying into a new directory. In the end it was something really silly. Even though I was in the directory holding the sh3p file, I needed to specify explicitly the directory, not just relative. ie. /usr/bin/sweethome3d /home/joebloggs/downloads/plugin.sh3d It must be something in the script that uses it for install. |

Re: Trouble installing plugins.. Maybe the program doesn't have the rights to copy in the target directory. To be sure where this folder is, import a furniture library and if it works, search on your disk the furniture folder where it was copied. The plugins folder should be a sibling folder of that furniture folder. ---------------------------------------- Emmanuel Puybaret, Sweet Home 3D creator |
