    Hi, I install Libfredo6,RoundCorner and Fredoscal, but I'm unable to use them in SketchUp.
    When I click on Tools>FredoScale noting happens. I also get no response when I click on Window>Libfredo6>Default Parameter.

    Do you have the icons in the Toolbar?

    Otherwise, can you turn the Ruby console on, and then select the menu LibFredo6 Default Parameters.

    Finally, can you check the content of the folders FREDOSCALE_Dir_20, etc... to verify they correspond to the footprint of the doc.

      Fredo,

      Thank you for one of the most brilliant tools in Sketchup, I use FredoScale regularly.

      I am wondering if you could add the option to Box Stretching of multiple stretch dividers spaced equally by default, but also with the ability to manually adjust their position as well? Each portion would be stretched equally. This would be especially useful on say a window with multiple panes where now I stretch in two or more steps. Maybe the user could add dividers with F5 or subtract dividers with F6.

      Just an idea, and thanks again for all of your tools πŸ˜„

        Hi Niels,

        A common problem happens when extracting the .zip files. Be sure to keep the folder hierarchy when extracting them.

        Can you post a screen-shot of your Plugins folder?

        Also, please post the error message.

        Hi

          Windows tends to want to create a whole subfolder for the extracted files. I guess what Jim says is NOT to extract them into this additional subfolder but straight under the Plugins folder (keeping any folder hierarchy insidethe zip intact).

          Now the question arises - if this is the problem, SU should not recognise the plugin at all so there should not be any error messages. Did you also install the LibFredo library?

          Gai...

            Been playing with the 'bend' portion of this plugin.
            Took the straight version and made it into the bent version.

            http://lh5.ggpht.com/_0jkA5M3PGcY/S6fQwKc17WI/AAAAAAAAO5I/6GU41QET1Uk/s800/lakehouse-3-14-10.jpg

            I included the original 2d floorplans embedded in the model.
            Crashed the machine a few times - but I cleaned it up, simplified the original a bit... and it worked.

            I'd love to understand the math on getting the bend to meet a particular arc or radius. I drew a circle of the correct diameter and then eyeballed the model to get it close... which is good enough to see if clients are interested in the massing / concept - and I was even able re-link to LayOut so my views were pretty close and required minimal tweaking...

                Thanks Fredo for the response. I don't have the icons in the Toolbar and when I run LibFredo6 Default Parameters, I get this error message:

                LibFredo6 Default Parameters.
                Error: #<SyntaxError: (eval):1116: compile error

                ^>
                (eval):1116

                I'm going to check the folder again to make sure the files are in other.

                Thanks

                Edit:
                It seems like LibFredo6 is installed, it just wont respond to some commands. I'm able to access (about,documentation and check for update)from window/Fredo6-setting, but I get no response if I click on the other options.

                Thanks

                      for some reason, i keep getting a bug splat when i try to use radial bending and change the number of slices... everything else seems to work fine though. any ideas? it used to work fine 😞

                        Could you post the model or send it to me via PM so that I have a look

                          I can't wait to try this plugin. I could have used this countless times in the past.
                          Before I go screwing things up though, I have a question.

                          When Extracting the files into the Plugins Folder, should the zip file create a Plugin Specific Folder ? OR Do we have to create a folder into which these files get extracted ? OR Do we simply drag all the files into the default plugins folder amongst all other plugin files ?

                          I ask because I did the latter or ended up with the latter but I see a Plugin Specific Folder called "LibFredo6 Dir 34" indicated in the following post :

                            thanks for the response, freedo! sure thing... it's actually not any particular model. i attached a tall box form that i just tried to no avail (changed the slice setting to 6). the pic show as far as i can get with the process, but once i designate a rotation angle, it shuts down every time, no matter what shape, model, etc.

                            by the way, i just installed updated sketchup 6 pro to version 6.4.265 recently if that makes a difference.

                              Hi Chris,

                              Just drag and drop. There will be "bare" rb files directly under the main plugins folder and there will be some subfolders, too. Just do NOT let Windows create a main, containing subfolder under plugins (as it generally tends to do from the archive name).

                              Gai...

                                  i think i figured out my problem. i noticed that every time the curves were being computed in radially bending, the outliner box would tweak out just before su crashed... the next time, i closed the outliner box, tried it again and voila - everything worked fine. must not be able to handle the rapid, real time changing of groups, etc.

                                    That may wellhave been the case - as many plugins that create a great deal of geometry in a short time tend to crash or at least hang SU when the Outliner is active.

                                      thanks gaieus... it's probably a topic that's been discussed at length in various threads, but i had been previously unaware. good to know. shut that outliner down and all is well!

                                        In SU6, there are reported crash with the outliner box.
                                        This has been fixed in SU7, where the outliner box refresh is suspended.
                                        I think I indicated this somewhere in the documentation, but it's good to refresh all minds.
