      NEW RELEASE: FredoScale 2.1a- 12 Jan 11

      This is mostly a new release in relation with the migration to LibFredo6 3.6 and to small SU8 issues.
      There is no functional evolution, but it is advised to upgrade when you can in order to get a better support with up-to-date code.

      You will need to migrate to LibFredo6 3.6 or higher

      Please see main post for download

        I know I have kept up with every release however I am seeing something odd.
        I installed the latest but still have the Free Scale toolbar but now have the Fredo Scale toolbar as well. Furthermore I don't see the ZLoader__FredoScale.rb file, just the ZLoader__FreeScale.rb file. Hmmm.

        See images.

          probably delete freescale_dir & zloader_freescale and install the fredoscale files instead..
          ditch the libfredo_dir_34 as well
          ?

          [edit]
          probably also delete the older bezierspline and toolsOnsurface as well (BZ_dir, BZ_dir_12, & TOS_dir15)
          ?

            Yes, you need to remove ZLoader__FreeScale.rb and FREESCALE_Dir_20 folder.
            Also, do not forget to upgrade to LibFredo6 3.6.

                  @Fredo: If FredoScale is not designed to do this currently, what are the possibilities:

                  1. FredoTaper along a centroidal axis of a non-straight tubular mesh, such as a tree limb. It might have to impose a temporary lattice like FredoBend does, or use the suitably subdivided mesh of the tube as the control lattice.
                  2. FredoStretch a mesh along a predefined or preselected non straight path such as bezier curve.

                  The intention here would be to do these changes after formation of the meshes for workflow.
                  I am sure the implementation is not a trivial exercise, so this is just something to think about.

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

                    I love FredoScale/ Box Taper. It seems the way Scale should have been in the first place. It pains me to say it seems to be off.

                    Try this:
                    -Turn on Style/ Edges/ Color By Axis
                    -Make a 6" square
                    -Push-Pull it to ~18" tall
                    -FredoScale/ Box Taper/ From Center one of the long sides to ~15° angle (30° total), about 18" wide.

                    Now check the edges that were just lengthened for alignment to axes. I find there is not enough misalignment to measure but enough to throw things off.

                    Hope it's an easy fix, I use this plugin a lot.

                    Best,

                      Jim,

                      I am unclear on what is exactly the problem.
                      I tried to taper the shape and did not find particular issue.

                      Could you please post your model or at least illustrate what is going wrong with a picture

                      Thanks

                      Fredo

                        Fredo—

                        A thousand apologies. When I discovered it last night I duplicated the issue several times on my model. This morning I try it three times in new windows and no problem, the alignment is perfect on all of them. I go back & try again in last night's drawing and I still get the same issue. I assume it is a problem with that window— something in it must be corrupting new data.

                        Best,

                        Jim

                          Your cursor may be inferencing on background edges or vertices.

                            Hello all,

                            I love FredoScale! Especially Stretch. It is amazing. However some times using stretch I have these problems:

                            1. Components within the group stretch too far. Sometime this means smaller individual components will move out of their position maybe twice as far as the objects being stretched or larger components stretch way beyond the others. I think it may even happen with components whose other instances nearby did stretch correctly.

                            2. The stretching is sometimes "jumpy", not updating with the mouse action and releasing the mouse it stretches a little beyond where I thought I was leaving it.

                            Thanks for any help.

                            Peter

                              No, I think not. There wasn't anything in the background in two instances recently. Sometimes the tool seems smooth and demonstrates typical feedback.

                              Thank you, Peter

                                And you have no hidden layer geometry? (I don't know if this can cause anything)

                                I have nothing to base this on, but could your processor be overtaxed, perhaps you have other applications in operation but minimized and you are trying to run Fredoscale?

                                I know that some of the scale operations are difficult for me to select the little boxes, and depending on the complexity of the geometry the processing can take an extended period of time. But I have an old Pentium4, XPhome, NVidia MX class video card. I also have software with process hog issues. None of this may apply to your situation, just possibilities.

                                  Tu es génial Fredo! I think you multiply the value of sketchup by 2 or 3. un grand BRAVO! PS je te conseille de mettre en place les donations, tu pourrais gagner quelque pepettes 😉

                                      With FredoScale 2.1 you can orientate the selection box around a set of objects and interactively apply a number of geometric transformations, such as Scaling, Tapering, Stretching, Plane Shear, Twisting, Bending and Rotation.

                                      BRAVO!!!
