I just wanted to update this post with instructions for installing the OpenStudio SketchUp Plugin in SketchUP 2019. SketchUp 2019 uses Ruby 2.5.1 vs. Ruby 2.2.4 in earlier versions of SketchUp. SketchUp 2019 is in line with the version of Ruby used in the beta 3.0 version of OpenStudio and the beta OpenStudio Application (linked below).

Steps

  1. Download and install this custom beta OpenStudio Application Installer for windows or mac

    windows: https://openstudio-app-ci-builds.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/incremental/develop/50/OpenStudioApplication-1.0.0-pre1.a80e990bf5-Windows.exe

    mac: https://openstudio-app-ci-builds.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/incremental/develop/69/OpenStudioApplication-1.0.0-pre1.a749303bf4-Darwin.dmg
  2. Download the custom OpenStudio SketchUp Plugin RBZ from (same installer for windows and mac)

  3. Launch SketchUp 2019
  4. Go to "Windows" menu and then "Extension Manager" and choose "Instal Extension"
  5. Browse to and choose "openstudio.rbz"
  6. If prompted to enter the path to OpenStudio Application, it should look something like

    this for windows: "C:/openstudioapplication-1.0.0-pre1"

    and this for mac: "/Applications/OpenStudioApplication-1.0.0-pre1"
  7. If the OpenStudio toolbars do not open automatically you should find the toolbars in the "View > Tool Palettes" menu. You should also see "OpenStudio" under the "Extension" menu.
