      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. 😄
        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.

              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

                    Then,

                    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)?

                      Fredo

                      load "ZLoader__FredoScale.rb
                      Error: #<SyntaxError: (eval):894: compile error
                      (eval):894: unterminated string meets end of file>
                      (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
                                LibFredo6 3.4c

                                Thx and sorry for my bad English.

                                  From what I observe on the image, your scaling box is not aligned with the axes. This is usual for round shapes, because a circle in Sketchup is not a true circle, but a suite of small segments).

                                  I would suggest that you align the scaling box, by typing RIGHT ARROW.

                                  Then tell me if you still have a problem with the dimensions

                                  Fredo

                                    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.

                                    Fredo

                                      From what I observe on the image, your scaling box is not aligned with the axes. This is usual for round shapes, because a circle in Sketchup is not a true circle, but a suite of small segments).

                                      I would suggest that you align the scaling box, by typing RIGHT ARROW.

                                      Then tell me if you still have a problem with the dimensions

                                      😮 Shame on me ....

                                      Worked like a charm, thx Fredo.

                                        oo, thank you very much fredo.

                                        this tools would be very useful.
                                        for example when drawn with the "adapter picture" of sketchup.
                                        when it finishes drawing perspective, if we know the true measure of a wall (for example) we can scale the all drawing. segun esta medida conocida, according to this measure known.

                                          diego,
                                          i might be missing some of what you're saying but if i'm not, you can already do that in sketchup using the tape measure tool

                                          just measure a line in the model which you know the length of then type that measurement in the vcb and everything will scale accordingly.. you can do it inside a group if you only want to change certain lengths or do it globally so that everything in the model scales..

                                            Jeff my English is very bad. I'm learning
                                            My idea is to do something similar to this picture, both in 2D and in 3D.
                                            Untitled.gif
                                            not how to do that with sketchup, in a simple and fast.
                                            I do, but I use several methods
