  2. Unzip the file by double-clicking it or right-clicking and selecting "Unzip". This will create a new folder. Windows will often create a duplicate sub folder in the unzipped result, be sure to copy the one that contains all the add-in files.
  3. Copy the unzipped folder to a location on your local drive. Please note that Fusion add-ins should NOT be installed on cloud drives like OneDrive.

  4. Open Fusion.
  5. Go to the Scripts & Add-ins dialog (shown in step #5 above)
  6. Click the + icon and then click "Script or add-in from device". This will open Finder (Mac) or File Explorer (Windows).
  7. Navigate to the folder you copied in Step #3, select the top level of the folder, and click the "Open" button.
