If you have extensions that you installed from the Extension Warehouse and they are also available from our ExtensionStore, then you can simply install a version from our ExtensionStore.
Later on if there's an update the ExtensionStore dialog will tell you and you can install it that way.
The Extension Warehouse might also tell you when there's an update available from there - you can only prevent this by uninstalling it from the Extension Warehouse.
Where licensing is involved you need to stick with the hosting platform that handles it...

@mdp1969 I don't see a problem with what you show in your screenshot. It is telling you that the extensions you've installed from Sketchucation using the Sketchucation ExtensionStore tool are up to date and they don't have a newer version. If you installed extensions some other way, the ExtensionStore will not be tracking those. If you know you have extensions from Sketchucation that are in need of an update, search for them using the ExtensionStore tool and install the latest version. That will add them to the extensions the Sketchucation ExtensionStore tool is looking at.

Changing to an older version of the ExtensionStore isn't going to make this any different.

BTW, you never did tell us which extensions are out of date.

@lngfrdrchrbe

The message is telling you that your currently installed version of LibFredo6 [14.2a] is too old to run those listed extensions, which need at lease 14.3
The current Libfredo6 version available from our PluginStore is 14.5f

You simply need to install the latest versions of those extensions, LibFredo6 and the SketchUcation toolset [for any licensing], then restart SketchUp to sync everything...

The SketchUcation ExtensionStore³ dialog can do this for you quite simply...

Hey, Rayscaper users!

Rayscaper 0.9.30 Beta is available in the SketchUcation store. More fixes and improvements. As always, I recommend upgrading to the latest version.

Thirty-nine more bugs and items are on my TODO list before I remove the beta tag. Initially, I started with 100+ items 😁

What Changed? Improvements Camera overlay in the SketchUp viewport

This new feature will help you frame your Rayscaper shots. It overlays the SketchUp viewport with what is visible in your final render:

You can also display visual guides to help you composition your shot:

To disable the overlay, uncheck it in the overlays tray:
ef269f13-94c6-46e9-974a-20adaa40fc4d-image.png

The overlay uses a new SketchUp API introduced in SketchUp version 2023, so the overlay is not enabled when using Rayscaper with SketchUp version 2022.

Bug Fixes Move the render resolution configuration to the camera tab. I think that's where it belongs logically. Fix thumbnail display for images. Some images would not show correctly as thumbnails. Add the missing normal map color space control. Fix the overexposed material preview when saving materials. Fix a performance regression in the UI. Fix render settings loss between Rayscaper rendering sessions. (cc: @Mike-Amos ). Fix a crash when loading Rayscaper data from some *.skp files. Fix a rendering difference between CPU & GPU rendering. Help me build the community 👍

I'm on Twitter (X) now: https://twitter.com/Rayscaper3d/ - Please follow the @Rayscaper3d that will help me grow the community and spread the word about Rayscaper! 🙏

If you like Rayscaper, please share your renders! This will help me showcase its capabilities to other potential users.

Happy Rendering!

You can manage your licenses logging in and using SketchUcation's special pages for your licenses - this is independent of your licensed computers
You can activate/deactivate etc as you desire...
Also each of Fredo's licensed extensions has its own submenu under Tools allowing some license management.
Licenses are perpetual, but of course you need to make some effort to manage them...

PS: Please don't double-post - it doesn't get you sorted any faster.

Wrap-R 2024.0 has been published. You can download the .exe from: https://wrapr-download.s3.amazonaws.com/WrapR-installer_2024_0.exe

@DanBradySU said in Fredo Tools no responding after update:

@Rich-O-Brien - thanks for the tips, sorry for the late reply, been offline. I've got no errors on Ruby, I press 'purge' from the drop down but nothing happens, still no pop-up when pressing Fredo tools and it doesn't appear to be opening off screen - other tools pop-up fine. I'm lost?!

Could your dialog be off screen? @Dan-Rathbun has an extension that sorts this issue

You can use Sketchucation Tools to easily install it

@Robert-Zappulla There's no guarantee it was a plugin but Toposhaper does create such clean quad based terrain.

@pixelcruncher I always find it odd... every designer I know uses a Mac? I shall keep an eye out. Thank you.

@Rich-O-Brien

All right, thank you

Hello,
New web site merged pdf3d with html and more : http://webgl.tarn.us

@pixelcruncher

Pause/resume is definitely on the roadmap.

Thank you. 👍

@Gus-R Thank you very much! This looks like exactly what i need.

like Curic's gizmo.

Hey @ntxdave ,

Good progress there!

To answer your questions:

I had to close down Rayscaper and then relaunch it because there is no way in Rayscaper (at least that I could find) to restart the render process. Suggest that you add a button (or some kind of link) that would restart the render process and take notice of any changes in the SketchUp model.

If this is about material modifications, they don't automatically propagate to Rayscaper. Only new material is converted to a Rayscaper material, and you can subsequently edit it there using more sophisticated, realistic material controls.

If you want to reset your material and load the settings from SketchUp, the Reload button is for you. This will pull the latest changes from SketchUp:

If you make changes to geometry, they should immediately propagate to Rayscaper. If not, that's a bug, and I'm always happy to receive reproducible steps for getting into this state. That helps me fix these kinds of bugs.

When I switch over to the SU model, the Rayscaper screen kind of disappears. I then had to "reopen" (probably not the correct term) screen but that is probably actually pretty normal. I would not want the Rayscaper render window to keep me from being able to go back to my SU screen view. So, not sure what to say about this.

Correct, Rayscaper goes to the back of the SketchUp window. I tried to implement it so that it always stayed on top of the SketchUp window in a previous version, but that was buggy, so I ripped it out and needed to revisit this part. For now, you can use this tip: https://community.sketchucation.com/topic/163907/rayscaper-keep-window-always-on-top

Cheers,
Thomas

@TIG

No caso para geometrias como cubos colidindo com pontos teria uma forma mais simples de tratar tais colisões? No caso eu estou usando um exemplo de duas peças de madeira e o parafuso está agrupado em "Kit parafusos" como entenderia sua posição global, já usei as transformações sem êxito. Para colisões com agrupamento no mesmo nível consegui mais quando o meu elemento de usinagem está em outras camadas não consigo obter o boundBox global.

@TIG Thank you. I downloaded a free trial of VRay before seeing your reply. It does not seem too difficult, so I am giving that a shot. Pity about Twilight though... I really liked it. This project, since time is a factor, I will probably have to create in SU 22, since the SU24 exported file is not as said ad nauseum - (sorry) working with Twilight in SU 22. I will then see if I can handle VRay over the trial period. At least it's exercising my brain. 😁
