      Rafael,

      Can you post the skp file with the two boxes and texture.

      Planar shearing is an atypical transformation, because it seems that SU also shears the reference axes of the component and groups. I don't know why, but this is what SU does. And this may be the reason why the textures cannot be projected correctly.

      Anyway, I can try to find a way to overcome this

      Fredo

      PS: For recovering your initial model, did you try to use the autosave version.

        Thanks for the quick reply, Fredo!
        That model I used for the screenshot I no longer have, it was just something I put together quickly to illustrate. I just made another one, hopefully more explaining.
        As for my model, never mind it. I use a program for online backup and sync'ing across computers and it turns out it stores previous versions of files as well. ๐Ÿ˜„

        Attached to this post goes a SKP file. It shows a similar operation performed on a pair of boxes, the one on the right having projected textures. Along the green axis different techniques with and without FredoScale are used, and the differences are shown.

          I had a look at the file, and it seems that it is related to the sharing of the component axes. You can of course remodify the axes so that they are orthogonal, but this does not restore the expected projected texture (however, subsequence projections are OK).
          So, I may have no way to fix that, and it may be advised to first deform, and then apply textures.

            Thanks, Fredo.
            I am working around this "issue" by unsetting the 'projected' flag from the appropriate faces prior to shearing with FredoScale. As can be seen in the SKP file I uploaded, FredoScale by itself does what I expected and projecting was unnecessary.

              Hi, Fredo:
              I don't know if anyone has asked this about the suite of tools in Fredoscale, but here goes. (of course this ability may already be available)
              Have you considered modifying your temporary lattice cage to address the pre-existing mesh for bending and tapering? By this I mean make it optional to use a replication of the existing model as the temporary deformation lattice?
              Just a thought. ๐Ÿ˜„
              Best Regards,
              mitcorb

              I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                I upgraded my OS to WINDOWS 7 ultimate 64 and now I have constant crash each time I try to use FREDOSCALE.
                Am I the only one on earth?

                  Sorry for late answer. I was out of the SU world for some days.
                  Do you get the crash:

                  • when you click on the icon
                  • when you try to make a deformation (and all of them or some of them)
                  • whether you have a preselction or no preselection. In the latter case, can you pass the step of selecting by mouse-over?

                  I run FredoScale on Vista 64 bits with no problem. I doubt this is related to the OS, but maybe to the re-installation of the plugin (or some other conflicting) after you upgraded the OS.

                  Fredo

                    hey Fredo... I'm beside myself... I've managed to break 3 of your plugins.

                    FredoScale 2.0i
                    GhostComp 1.0
                    ToolsOnSurface_1.6c

                    they show up in the preferences but the toolbars do not show up and the commands under Fredo on the Tools menu do not open or even list.

                    any idea what I've done? I have LIBFREDO6_Dir_35 installed... am I missing anything else?

                      Kristoff,

                      Just in case, as at least the plugins are present in the Preferences dialog box, is their checkmark on?

                      Fredo

                          1. do you see a menu LibFredo6 Settings in the Windows menu

                          2. If so, can you open the Ruby console, type load "ZLoader__FredoScale.rb" and tell me if you see some messages

                          3. By the way, do you you some other of my plugins working fine (Like RoundCorner or Curviloft)?

                            Error: #<SyntaxError: (eval):894: compile error

                            (eval):894

                            the settings menu item is there... but the drop down menu that should come up from it does not appear.

                            I do have a few of your other plugins such as curviloft and round corner.

                              This is very weird.
                              There must be a faulty file somewhere.

                              1. Did you try to download the Zip from Sketchucation and install again the scripts?

                              2. Can you try the same manual loading with Ghostcomp and TOS from the Ruby console and see if you get a similar message

                              3. Also, just in case, could you remove the file FredoScale.def from the DEFPARAM_dir folder.

                              Thanks

                              Fredo

                                  well I gave up on trying to fix it... I deleted my plugins folder and started installing all plugins from scratch. now I have all my paid plugins, my most essential plugins like Thomthom, Fredo and Tig and all my toolbars. so I'm happy... I'm missing a lot of small simple plugins and individual rubies, but I'll just add them as I miss them.

                                  so I have no idea what my error was... I saved the plugins folder that was erroring, so if anyone has any ideas I can check it still.

                                    Hi Fredo.
                                    I make a query.
                                    would be added to your tool to scale a similar function to the image but for 3D objects'?
                                    scalar or reference to three points
                                    Untitled.gif
                                    really would be helpful
                                    possible?
                                    thanks

                                      Hi Fredo.

                                      First of all, Thank you for this Truly remarkable plugin.

                                      I just installed Sketchup 8.0.3117 and your plugin but i got a weird error when a use it.

                                      http://www.snapdrive.net/files/493183/Freedo 1.JPG

                                      when i put 4000mm in FredoScale, Sketchup change radius circle to 2017.3 ?!

                                      If i change radius circle to 2000mm FredoScale change to 3965,8mm ?!

                                      http://www.snapdrive.net/files/493183/Freedo 2.JPG

                                      What happening?

                                      Im, using:
                                      Sketchup 8.0.3117
                                      FredoScale 2.0i

                                          Hi Fredo.
                                          I make a query.
                                          would be added to your tool to scale a similar function to the image but for 3D objects'?
                                          scalar or reference to three points
                                          [attachment=0:19ki78vc]<!-- ia0 -->Untitled.gif<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:19ki78vc]
                                          really would be helpful
                                          possible?
                                          thanks

                                          This type of Scaling About (specifying the pivot point and a direction) is possible. I am not sure it fits the UI framework of FredoScale however. I would rather see a dedicated plugin for that.

                                            First of all, Thank you for this Truly remarkable plugin.

                                            I just installed Sketchup 8.0.3117 and your plugin but i got a weird error when a use it.

                                            when i put 4000mm in FredoScale, Sketchup change radius circle to 2017.3 ?!

                                            If i change radius circle to 2000mm FredoScale change to 3965,8mm ?!

                                            What happening?

                                            Im, using:
                                            Sketchup 8.0.3117
                                            FredoScale 2.0i
                                            LibFredo6 3.4c

                                            Thx and sorry for my bad English.
