Extension does not load

Updated August 29, 2026

Use this when Extension Manager accepted the .rbz but Railworks never appears after restart.

Before you begin

  • Confirm you installed the Railworks file, not an older archive from email.
  • SketchUp Pro 2024 or newer — Make and Shop are not supported.

Checklist

  1. Follow SketchUp loading policy.
  2. In Extension Manager, confirm Railworks is enabled.
  3. Fully quit SketchUp (not just the model window) and reopen it.
  4. Check View → Toolbars for Railworks — the extension can load with the toolbar hidden.

When to contact support

Tell us whether Extension Manager lists Railworks at all, and your SketchUp version.
