Please run the Window > Libfredo Settings > Fredo6 Plugins Information for Sketchucation Support menu command in SketchUp and copy/paste the output into your reply.

@Adept-Design
Have you installed the newest versions of Fredo's extensions and LibFredo6, and the SketchUcation toolset [for the licensing] ?
Install extensions using the SketchUcation ExtensionStore³ system or download the RBZs from our PluginStore and use the native installer, through the Extensions Manager...
Restart SketchUp after the installations to sync everything.
There should be submenus under Tools for Fredo's extensions, including license activation etc.
There are also menu items and Toolbars to use these tools etc...

@aleman_1940 whyat version of SketchUp are you using?

@TIG Hi, I assume so as I only downloaded it a month ago. My "trial" will have expired now anyway but thanks for your response.

Hey, Rayscaper users!

Another release, finding my groove!

Rayscaper 0.9.34 Beta is available in the SketchUcation store. More fixes and improvements. As always, I recommend upgrading to the latest version.

What Changed? Improvements Pause/Resume

Works as advertised. Pauses the render and resume at a later time.

Internally, Rayscaper uses the meter as the scene unit. I made that more explicit in some inputs by having a unit. I will follow up with a feature to configure display units for folks who like something different than meters. Improve the speed of the picking operations. Display the material we are hovering over when dropping a material/texture on the viewport. This makes it clear where the dropped texture or material will apply. Bug Fixes Fix the specular tint texture slot. Loading an image in this slot would load it in the normal map texture
slot. When applying a custom material (i.e., from the material library) and subsequently modifying the material. These
changes would not persist on saving. This is fixed in the current release. Fix a scrolling/clipping issue in the render viewport. Lights would get an empty name after modifying the light component (for example, moving the light). This is fixed. Fix an application freeze caused by light selection. 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 (final or work-in-progress, it doesn't matter)! This is super motivating and will help me showcase its capabilities to new users.

Happy Rendering!

@samuel_t bump 🙂

@Box Thank you sir! I finally got things working correctly and was able to "play around" a little. The image below represents what I figured out using the FredoScale tools. I greatly appreciate your help. 😁 👍 👍

@Ke3

It would be useful you indicate which error you got when exporting.

Possibly, it would also be helpful to have the skp file to have a look.

@wgriffith

I've never heard of this before.
What's your OS ?
Do you have the latest version installed ?
If it fails to appear in the Extensions menu / toolbars can you please check if the file SketchUcation.rb and its subfolder are still in your Plugins folder...
If it is there try this...
Open the Ruby Console [under Extensions > Developers Tools] and type or copy/paste this in + return

load 'SketchUcation.rb'

What happens ?
Do you have similar issues with any other extensions ?

@mrwick https://downloads.sketchucation.com/licensing/SCFLicense-Instructions_to_Users.pdf

Licenses are at https://sketchucation.com/webshop/my-licences.php

You need latest releases of all extensions installed including Sketchucation Tools
https://sketchucation.com/plugin/696-sketchucationtools

...and Libfredo
https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=LibFredo6

@ntxdave OK, I adjusted the items you pointed out. And I should have mentioned before that the material was Disney Metalic. However, I made some adjustments:

Dialed back the metal Increased the roughness Dialed back the IOR

Hope you find this on to be improved.

@Jason2025 Not yet.

Implementing a fully functioning Physics engine inside SketchUp is not a simple task. The fact Anton pulled it off at such a young age speaks volumes of his ability.

We are actively pursuing getting this updated but he is enjoying his early 20s. I believe asking him to undertake such a massive project without compensation is not feasible.

@noam309
You can manage individual extension's licensing using the submenu entry for that extension, under the Tools menus.
Alternatively, e.g. if you don't have access to that PC anymore, you can manage your licenses through SketchUcation.com - PluginStore My Licenses page... You need to login to see the listings...

Please tell anyone can I make 3D model on this for carving on CNC machine?

"BTW, you never did tell us which extensions are out of date."
rightly...
a striking example,
freedo plugins (for example) have a message about updating..
freedo libre, for example, I updated it through extensionstore only because freedo update warned me...while extensionstore did not inform me of any update....others, only by chance I noticed updates by comparing the version number reported in extensionstore.
I can't now make a list of all the (many) extensions that I own...but this, in general, is the problem...
also, I don't understand if it was a programming choice, but....as you can see from the screenshot....I no longer have the search field, the writing is missing...one of the buttons (red at the top) for updating / setting is missing
if I'm boring you too much....I apologize...just leave the post without replies
I'll try to continue with what I have available..
thanks again

@alexpacio2013

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...

@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...
