Adding Extensions to SketchUp. The Extension Warehouse and SketchUp were made to work together.
In most cases, to add an extension on your local copy of SketchUp, you simply click the Install button on the extension details page and wait a moment while the software does the rest of the work. However, this magical installation process comes with a few caveats: You must access the Extension Warehouse from SketchUp (as opposed to a browser).
If you access the Extension Warehouse from a web browser, you see a Download button instead of an Install button, and you then need to install the downloaded .rbz file manually through SketchUp Preferences.Tip: Installing and managing extensions is easiest if you access the Extension Warehouse from SketchUp by selecting Window > Extension Warehouse.The extension is a free extension. Many extensions on the Extension Warehouse are free for you to download and use. Installing extensions manually in SketchUp Preferences.

Hidden amid the pleasure boats and cargo ships that roar through the canal in northwest Seattle is one of the oldest fishing economies in North America. From midsummer to October, from early morning until after dusk, fishermen from the Suquamish Tribe zoom up and down the canal in orange waterproof overalls, tending to salmon nets that dangle across the water like strings of pearls. The tribe holds reservation land about ten miles west of the city, on the far side of Puget Sound, the 100-mile-long estuary that extends from Olympia, Washington, north to the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The men unload salmon at “A Dock,” a section of a boatyard reserved for tribal fishing boats. Ringed by the white-capped Cascade and Olympic Mountains, Puget Sound looks pristine.

Let’s face it: Dealing with polluted runoff, commonly called “stormwater,” isn’t the most exciting of topics. It’s a problem that is often left to policymakers, but it’s become increasingly clear that they need the community’s help to address this too-invisible problem. Cities everywhere are turning their attention to stormwater, especially as old buildings and pipes reach the 100-year mark. When rain rushes over streets, buildings, and parking lots, the runoff carries dirt, oil and other pollutants to rivers and streams and can cause erosion. Changing out gray infrastructure for green infrastructure (e.g. trading out pavement in favor of green space like rain gardens) welcomes nature into our cities, which in turn improves both mental and physical health, increases property value, conserves energy, enhances wildlife habitat and saves money on more costly pipe infrastructure.
Portable Bio Retention Planters at Port of Seattle — Northwest EcoBuilding Guild. Abstract The "Moving Green Infrastructure Forward" Project is a two-year stormwater monitoring project at Terminal 91, Port of Seattle.
Using the Splash Boxx, a bioretention planter box used for stormwater management, the project compares the pollutant removal efficiency two bioretention soil mix designs: one with conventional sand/compost and another with volcanic sand/compost. Splash Boxx is recognized by the Washington Department of Ecology as equivalent to a bioretention facility, so the project was easily approved by the Port of Seattle. It was also designed consistent with City of Seattle guidelines for bioretention planter boxes. Permitting Process Splash Boxx has been approved by the Department of Ecology as equivalent to bioretention systems as detailed in BMP T7.30, Bioretention Systems, 2012 Western Washington Stormwater Manual.
