I must be doing something wrong here. I downloaded version 3.6 and unzipped as instructed, and sure enough, I've got the folder LIBFREDO6_Dir_36 and the file LibFredo6.rb in my \Plugins directory. But when I run Sketchup, nothing new shows up in the Window menu. Any ideas?

The Lib is support for other tools by Fredo!
Many of these are Extensions and need activating from menu Window > Preferences > Extensions......

You just have problem of Security with Write access to the SU Plugins folder. This should be true for all plugins.
You will have to sort it out first to have proper access.

I've reported this quite a while ago (months) and the issue still exists. O my first iMac(Core2Duo 2.4 GHz) this plugin performed so sluggish that it was unusable. The menu items and 3D space updates when selecting edges took several seconds to update and that lag between user action and reaction of the tool rendered it not usable.

Now I have a 27" iMac 2.93 GHz Intel Core i7 with 12GB Ram (even though I doubt the latter makes any difference in this case). And while naturally this machine is much faster there still is a very definite lag between user input and reaction of the tool. Usable but really only barely. Noting for continued use.

I also have a Windows XP running in VMware fusion on the same machine and have don't have these problems there. Even though it's running in a VM reaction to user input is instantaneous. No perceivable lag whatsoever!

I've worked some with the Skindigo exporter plugin in OSX and that works smooth as butter. Quite strange!

Hi, I'm new to Sketchup.

I've downloaded, unzipped and put in the Plugins folder. Unfortunately, i must have done something wrong and nothing has appeared other than what i already had on there.

I run windows 7 and have been using Sketchup 8. Any help greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

Hi, apologies, I realised that I'd only downloaded the Library files, and not the rounded corner tool also.

Works great now, many thanks!

LibFredo6 is just a shared library. It does nothing useful at user level by itself.
You have to install one of my plugin (FredoScale, Roundcorner, Curviloft, ...) to see something in your SU environment.

NEW RELEASELibFredo6 3.7a - 17 Apr 2011

This new version is required for SUClock.

It also fixes some bugs in the Web Dialogs (to Mac users: I hope this works OK)

Finally, it introduces a live Check Plugins for Update feature.

New release is available for download in the first post of this thread.

Hi Fredo,

I am getting duplicate "LibFredo6 Settings..." entries in the Window menu. I locate my plugin files in C:/Plugins and load them using require_all("C:/Plugins")

Also, I have several of your plugins installed - Round Corner, Curviloft, Bezier, in C:/Plugins. These plugins do not appear in the update list. The plugins are currently not enabled in the Extensions dialog - do they need to be enabled to be visible for updates?

Thanks.

This is due to the fact that require_all registers the full path of ruby files (you can check it in $"). So, LibFredo6 gets loaded twice, once as C:/plugins/LibFredo6.rb and once as LibFredo6.rb.

Do you get this behavior only with LibFredo6 3.7, or did you have it before?

Anyway, I will publish a small update to LibFredo6 to avoid the double menu in all situations

By the way, I published a small plugin to manage alternate directory for plugins. Precisely, I don't use require_all but a loop on require instead in order to avoid the issue of full path.

The answer is YES. The local registration is done by the plugins themselves. So if they are not activated as Extensions, no code is run.

Hope this helps

I would argue that not enabled is different than not installed. Installed-but-not-enabled plugins should also be detected for upgrade purposes. Just my opinion. Thanks for the update - the ability to check for updates is a great step forward.
