  • RE: [Plugin][$] FredoCorner - v2.7a - 31 Mar 24

    @NeukJullie
    Sometime ago many of Fredo's extensions became licensed.
    So to continue to use it beyond the trial period you need to install the latest version of his LibFredo6 and the SketchUcation tools [for the licensing]
    It is not expensive, and there's a bundle of several of his extensions offering savings.
    Also SCF Premium members get further discounts...

    There are many posts about this...

  • RE: SCFLicense: Extension Licensing on Sketchucation

    @SergioAlbelli
    In addition to Rich's useful info...
    We are assuming you have bought a license for Fredo's RoundCorner extension and not his other FredoCorner extension, whatever, then you need to save its file onto your computer and then validate it in the appropriate dialog opened from that extension's submenu in the Tools menu...
    There are pages to help you mange your licenses as listed in this thread...
    We need more info if you still can't resolve it...

  • RE: [New Plugin] Windows Builder

    @criba there are a number of other extensions for making windows. Look here at the Sketchucation ExtensionStore and in the SketchUp Extension Warehouse.

    You might also look at the 3D Warehouse. Loads of window components available there. Many of them are dynamic.

  • RE: [Code] realign UVs, or: convert projective to affine

    @chris341

    It is a very old thread !
    I've fixed the basic syntax errors and added modules etc.
    It works in v2024 [should be OK in v2020] - but I'm unsure of its efficacy...

    @November11
    Follow the message's instructions on opening the folder and deleting the file.
    You might need to rename your computer...

    Your computer-name must follow the Windows rules - i.e. NO special characters in it...
    This is a range of characters that can be considered safe:
    Letters (a-z A-Z)
    Digits (0-9)
    Underscore (_)
    Hyphen (-)
    Space
    Dot (.)
    Beyond this, you just have to enforce some additional rules regarding spaces and dots. This is usually sufficient:
    Name must contain at least one letter or number (to avoid only dots/spaces)
    Name must start with a letter or number (to avoid leading dots/spaces)
    Name may not end with a dot or space

    Do you have any special characters in the computer-name OR your user-name ? - I guess you are Chinese ?

    Try fixing that and restart to see if that helps...
    Let us know how you get on...

  • RE: How do I show hidden geometry in LayOut?

    @kzrdvd also note that the viewports must be rendered as Raster in LayOut. Hidden Geometry will not be displayed in Vector or Hybrid.

    Do you really want to show all the hidden geometry in the model or are you wanting to show hidden features as I have on the left in this image?

    This requires a different method if this is what you want.

  • RE: Layout viewports becoming disabled - will not connect to ref - work around, I have to replace the viewport

    @schaferron1 said in Layout viewports becoming disabled - will not connect to ref - work around, I have to replace the viewport:

    The files continue to show up as embedded. How do I remove them all together or is that necessary?

    If you aren't actually using the reference anywhere in the LayOut file, clicking Purge at the bottom of the References panel will remove them. If Purge doesn't remove a reference and you want it gone, you have to remove it from any pages where it might be used, first.

    It doesn't make sense to keep references to files that aren't being used. Doing so just bloats the LayOut file. It's all liability with no asset. The same applies to unused content in SketchUp.

    @schaferron1 said in Layout viewports becoming disabled - will not connect to ref - work around, I have to replace the viewport:

    How do you purge the Default Tag Geometry

    I didn't purge the Default Tag Geometry. I just removed tags from the edges and faces in your model. ALL edges and faces should be created and remain Untagged. I did it using TIG's Default Tag Geometry from the Sketchucation ExtensionStore.

    I used TIG's Purge All to purge unused content from the model. You can do the same thing with Model Info>Statistics>Purge Unused. I use PurgeAll because it also creates that neat reoprt to show how much hoarded stuff got purged.

    @schaferron1 said in Layout viewports becoming disabled - will not connect to ref - work around, I have to replace the viewport:

    It looks like once I unlink the skp. files all of the viewports that were linked to that skp. file become blank. Is this to be expected?

    No. That's not to be expected. Did you unlink or did you relink? It implies there's something changed in the SketchUp model from when the viewports were setup.

    @schaferron1 said in Layout viewports becoming disabled - will not connect to ref - work around, I have to replace the viewport:

    How can I determine which viewports are linked to these purged unlinked skp. files?

    Purge only removes unused references in LayOut. If there is even one viewport linked to a SketchUp reference, the reference will not be purged. The same applies with purging unused content in SketchUp. Only components, materials, and styles that are not being used in the model will be purged.

    As for identifying which reference file a viewport is linked to, you can select the viewport and look at the top of the SketchUp Model panel. Or you can select a reference in the Reference list and look to see what is shown selected on the page. If nothing is selected, go through each page selecting the reference and looking to see what is selected.

  • RE: [Plugin Library] LibFredo6 - v14.5c - 03 Jul 24

    @Anonimos24

    You are sorely mistaken.
    It is not a 'scam'.
    Fredo and this site are highly regarded.
    The reason you can't use it, is that it relies on a 'Lib' - LibFredo6.
    It is clearly spelled out on its download page...
    The error message even gives you a link to get it [you need to answer 'Si'].
    After it's been downloaded and installed, restart SketchUp so that everything gets synced.
    It will need licensing after a trial so you also need the SketchUcation tools installing for this...

    Estás muy equivocado.
    No es una 'estafa'.
    Fredo y este sitio gozan de gran prestigio.
    La razón por la que no puedes usarlo es que depende de una 'Lib': LibFredo6.
    Está claramente explicado en su página de descarga...
    El mensaje de error incluso te da un enlace para obtenerlo [debes responder 'Si'].
    Una vez descargado e instalado, reinicia SketchUp para que todo se sincronice.
    Necesitará una licencia después de una prueba, por lo que también necesitará instalar las herramientas SketchUcation para esto...
