I am beginning to learn about plugins. Is the "plugins" folder already included in the program, or am I supposed to create the folder [in XP - documents and settings/user/application data/eteks/sweethome3d]? I downloaded ExportToSH3F and I am getting an error "Cant open home". I've read a lot of the information but I'm missing something. Appreciate any help.

Re: plugins primer
The plugins folder is created only in case of need. If you get a Can't open home error, it's probably because your browser replaced the sh3p extension by sh3d. Change it manually and double click again on the file. What browser did you use?

In Firefox 4 - I used 'open with SweetHome3D'...therein was my problem. After I tried saving it to desktop and double clicking from there, it installed perfectly and created the plugins folder. (the extension was okay) How do I view the source code -as an example of Plug-in classes architecture?
Thank you for your help. This is a very fine program.

Re: plugins primer
As explained in the Plug-ins developer guide, a .sh3p file is just a zip file. As they are not so big, I (and other developers too) generally include their source code with it.
