Have you installed the required supporting LibFredo6 and restarted SketchUp ?
Is you have the Ruby Console open are there any error messages etc you could share ?
Can you outline the steps you are doing and not getting the expected result ?
Where did you get these steps ?
If you had posted this is the main thread the @fredo6 would have been more likely to have seen it and joined in...

RE: FredoSection partly not working
fixing SketchUp in run as administrator, double clicking.
In case of confusion...
Do NOT change the SketchUp exe file's Properties > Compatibility, to 'always run as administrator' - because although this can solve some incorrect installation issues, it creates new problems - like breaking drag-n-drop.To recap the correct way to install OR repair SketchUp...
Close SketchUp.
Login to Windows as your normal user-account.
Find the SketchUp installer exe file - usually in your Downloads folder [or download a fresh copy].
Select that installer's exe file's icon, right-click > context-menu > 'Run as administrator'
When prompted choose 'Repair' [as in your case].
Restart SketchUp.
This will properly reset the folder and file permissions needed to save/reuse settings, preferences, and so on.
Never install a complex app by double-clicking its installer's icon to 'Run' it - even if your user-account has admin powers it is NOT the same thing. The results can be varied - from nothing bad to all of your permissions messed up and weird issues popping up unexpectedly... -
RE: FredoSection partly not working
Could you also leave the Ruby console open to catch error messages.

RE: FredoSection partly not working
but my components are just simply cut and empty.
It would help if you share the components that don't get the section faces. I expect it's a problem with the way they are made.

RE: Can't use fredo plugins
PS: Also make sure you have the latest versions of Fredo's extensions, LibFredo6 and the SketchUcation toolset installed - there have been changes to the licensing setup...

RE: Can't use fredo plugins
While double clicking to install a setup file
Correct installation requires right clicking on the SketchUp installer and selecting Run as administrator as TIG wrote not double clicking.
If IT won't give you temporary privileges to install SketchUp correctly, they should be able to use your sign in credentials with admin status to install or repair the installation.
My previous employer's IT department had an arrangement so I could request admin status under my login so I could install required software. That status would be granted temporarily for a period of one hour. That worked fine for doing things like installing SketchUp. Maybe your IT department can do the same for you.

RE: Can't use fredo plugins
Sounds like SketchUp was not installed properly.
This can cause issues with permissions and the saving/reading of preferences/setting/licenses etc.
I'll set out the way to fix it - if you have sufficient rights on your computer...
Log in as you normal user-account.
Close SketchUp.
Find its installer exe file [usually in your Downloads].
Select its icon, right-click > context-menu > 'Run as administrator'
Answer the prompts and when offered 'Repair' choose that.
This fixes permissions etc. When SketchUp restarts it should work.
However, if you installed it 'as admin' rather than as your usual user-account login.
this might cause issues.
Running apps like SketchUp 'as admin' breaks some features too -
like drag-n-drop - because a lower level app like Windows-Explorer can't affect a higher one like SketchUp [as admin]If SketchUp was installed by 'IT' then they need to set up all of your user's permissions to FULL to let it work properly.
If permissions for some folders in the AppData tree for your user are also skewed these need fixing too -
some specific folders/files would be ../Local/SCF used for SketchUcation logins, 'set' saving etc, ../Local/LIBFREDO6_DATA_Dir for Fredo's data, ../Local/Temp/Fredo6_LibFredo6_TemporaryFiles and C:\Users\Public\SCF Licenses where the licenses are now stored...
