[Obsolete] LibFredo6 3.0e (newer version available)

thomthom · 26 Jan 2009, 13:40

Fredo, your plugin calls "require 'Sketchup.rb'" instead of "require 'sketchup.rb'" which makes another entry to the Ruby Console in the Window menu. It'd be nice if you corrected this.

thomthom · 28 Jan 2009, 10:23

I had a quick look at the code and found one entry of "require 'Sketchup.rb'", but the extra menu item is still there. So it seems there's extra references to this. It's not one of my other plugins, because when I remove the LibFredo6 and the FreeScale plugin the menu item disappears.

Hi, try as I might, I just can't get LibFredo6 to work. No menu appears under "window" .I've got the free version of SU running on XP. If I run it from the ruby console, I get this error.

Error: #<NoMethodError: (eval):131: undefined method `rb' for LibFredo6:Module>
(eval):131

Any ideas? It's driving me nuts.

In general, you should try to re-install, just in case.

For me to understand more of your problem, could you type a few commands in the Ruby Console and report on what you see

LibFredo6.lib_loaded

LibFredo6.sudir

LibFredo6.path

Thanks

Fredo

I get this but still no menu under window. Thanks for your reply.

LibFredo6.lib_loaded
Lib6Core_30.rb
LibFredo6.sudir

LibFredo6.path

Thanks. It looks like you have it correctly installed, at least for teh core functions.

By the way, did you install FreeScale?

If NO, then this is normal you don't get the menu, as LibFredo6 alone only load the minimal Ruby code (and therefore won't load the menu until a script needs the library).

I've solved the problem, it was very strange. I was using the microsoft extractor to unzip the files into the plugin directory. This caused the problem. I have now used Winrar and I get the freescale toobar and your Libfredo menu in SU.

To all Users

Version 3.0e: Update 10 Feb 09, consolidating a few fixes for Mac users and introducing the Italian translation (kindly provided by Marco Cosedi). Please re-install when you can.

Please signal problems you may have with FreeScale (and indirectly with LibFredo6)

Thanks to all

Can someone tell me if this plugin can help me do this....

I have a French Door component (double-doors) that I want to modify to create a single door. I want to use just the door frame to make a narrower frame for my single door. I've removed both doors from the frame and need to scale the frame down to the width of a frame suitable for a single door.

When I use the SU Scale Tool to shrink the overall width, the sides of the frame become too narrow (the width of the frame's walls scale smaller as I make the overall frame narrower across the top).

I've installed FreeScale but I don't understand how to use it to do this. I'm getting the same result as with the SU Scale tool.

This is normal, as the transformation in FreeScale is strictly identical to the Sketchup native one, except that you can change the orientation of the box.

Thank you Fredo6! I understand now. I will have to find another way to do this.

Hello!
I translated the plugin into german. I have to say that your library is a universal tool for developing/ translating scripts in infinite languages!
Thanks!

libfredo6 v3.0e in german

freescale v1.0e in german

Thanks very much Tom!
I will integrate it in a next version of LibFredo6 and FreeScale, to be published soon.
In between, any user can just drop the .lang files respectively in LIBFREDO6_Dir_30 and FREESCALE_Dir_10 folders. I tested that this works fine.

Thanks again

Hello,
I'm workink on mac OSX 4.11 SU 6;

When I want to taper SU scratchs, here is my plugin folder what could be wrong?

fredo6 · 8 Mar 2009, 14:08

Difficult to diagnose. Do you get a bugsplat? Did you try on simple cube?
I suggest your turn the Ruby console on and tell if there any message.

Fredo

PS: By the way, you do not need to have folders LibFredo6_30e and FreeScale_10e

gilles · 8 Mar 2009, 17:27

yes it was a basic cube ;

I select it, select taper icon, choose a handle, move it to desire result then I release left click:" l'application à quittée inopinément "

i know this is a late answer and probably dosn't matter anymore but... if you drag select the edges along one side of the frame ,then just move them in, this should solve your problem.

Can you check you installed version 1.0e for FreeScale and 3.0e for LibFredo6.
Do you see the wireframe when tapering?

Otherwise, no idea what it could be. I need other Mac users to tell if they have some clue, based on your version of OS and other considerations about the secret of Mac installation.

yes for all;
I turn on ruby windows but nothing appears and SU scratch immediately when I release left button on tapering.
