You can download Dibac Ready components from the 3D Warehouse

Dibac for SketchUp works with SketchUp 2019 – 2024.

Of course! You can use any component saved in your library. The only thing you would need to do is edit the plan view of the components to display a specific 2D view when it is used in Dibac. You can learn how to do this with this video-tutorial

You can deactivate Dibac for SketchUp, so it will not load when you open SketchUp. Simply go to ‘Window’->’Preferences’->’Extensions’-> and just uncheck ‘Dibac’ from the extensions list. (or if you are on a Mac go to ‘SketchUp->Preferences->Extensions’)

But if you want to remove Dibac completely from your computer, first what you need to do is going to your plugin’s folder:

  • Windows – the default location is: C:/Users/YOUR USERNAME/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2015/SketchUp/Plugins
  • Mac OS X – the default location is: Open a new Finder window, press and hold the Option key on your keyboard, the click Go in the menu bar > Library > Application Support > SketchUp # > SketchUp > Plugins

And in that folder you need to delete both the ‘iscarnet_dibac‘ folder and the ‘iscarnet_dibac.rb‘ file.

Dibac for SketchUp includes the default joinery items and a couple components under the “Components” tool. You can download more ready-to-use components in the SketchUp 3D Warehouse searching the word “Dibac”

Joinery items are SketchUp components that interact with the walls and partitions drawn with Dibac for SketchUp creating a trim and a hole to place the component. This refers to any doors, windows, wardrobes, lattice items that you want to insert in the 2D floor-plan.

Joinery items with standard and simple shapes are quite easy to edit and use in Dibac for Sketchup. You can watch this video-tutorial to learn how to do it

Note that these components will not be configurable as the default joinery items, unless they have been created as a “Dynamic component” with their respective attributes.
