      Can someone please assist me with installing this plugin on Mac OS 10.6.2 (SU 7.1) I have unzipped the folder into SU plugin folder and moved Toolsonsurface.plugin to the Sketchup application package. I see no new menus in Sketchup.

            On Mac, the plugin files should be copied to Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 7/SketchUp/plugins
            Please make sure that your unzipping operation leads to the same footprint as indicated in page 2 of the PDF documentation, that is:
            Footprint TOS.jpg

            The 2 folders, LIBFREDO6_Dir_34 and TOS_Dir_15 must contains several files (.rb, .lang, ...) and a subfolder IMAGES_STANDARD (make sure that you do not have another LIBFREDO6_Dir_34 or TOS_Dir_15 embedded).

            If needed, unzip in a separate place, check the files and directories and then copy them in the Sketchup Plugin folder:

            Fred

            PS: if it still does not work, then I must call the Mac user community to help.

                    Alternative solution:
                    I see that you have Whaat´s "subdivide and smooth". Use the knife tool (a.k.a. zorro) in parallel projection. Also you can group the faces you don´t want to divide:

                        Hi Toucan, the script is located in the first post of this thread. Go back to page one and look for a download link there. Have fun!

                          I occasionally get this happening while using TOS. What's causing it?
                          I wanted to draw an arc between the two points - going across the two faces.

                            The algorithm has many flaws, espcially on shape volumes that are closed.
                            I am thinking of a serious refresh to resolve these problems (and some others).

                                  may I request an additional feature?

                                  adding rounded corners to a shape?

                                    So it some times picks the wrong distance/direction between the two points? A workaround would be to break the volume somehow?

                                      Somehow, it works much better when the surface is open.
                                      But I know how to fix the problem. No easy, but I need some time, as I have to revisit the whole algorithm.

                                        Rightclick menues issue..
                                        After having installed Fredo6 Tools on surface + FredoScale I´m having the darnest stupid problem:
                                        Most contextual menues are greyed out, like Intersect with model, Flip along Groups Red, and so on..
                                        I can create shortcuts to these commands and they work as expected, but I rely heavily on shortcuts in my work and list of shortcuts is getting more and more crowded. Have I done something wrong here and this is normal behavior? I have been searching the forum but so far havent found a description af this "problem".
                                        I have most definetely missed out on something here and the fault is obviously mine (as it usually is) but I really would appreciate an input to help me solve this matter.

                                            I have heard that this problem is related to SU itself, though it may be 'helped' by some plugins.
                                            I got it occasionally, even not using any plugins.
