          Hi,

          First, thanks for this plugin, it's great. Most of the time i need the stretch tool, i'm trying to implement this in my worflow for stretching cabinets, windows, doors, ... but i keep getting the same bugsplat while using it.
          even with very simple geometry.

          I make a cube and group it (let's call it cube1). A make a copy of it (cube2) so i have the exact same cubes next to each other. I select both cube1 and cube2 and putting into a new group (cubegroup.
          so now i have a my newly made group (cubegroup) with 2 nested groups inside (cube1 and cube2). I can use the stretch-tool on this without any problem. After stretching I duplicate my cubegroup. In my entity info window i see that there are 2 of these groups in my model. when i try to stretch my 2nd cubegroup, i get a bugsplat. see my video:
          http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxhelxITBO4

          Now when i do exactly the same, but instead of trying to stretch my second cubegroup after duplicating it. I first edit my group by entering it, and leaving it. Now my Entity info window says there is just 1 of group of this in my model instead of 2. take a look at my second video where i don't get the bugsplat:
          http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xGhham4AxM

          any explanation?

          thanks

              Su 7.1+ plus here and see the following:

              1. Bug splat for the stretch of the 2 cubed group and can get a bug splat for stretch of just one of them. No bug splat for stretch of one stand alone, before making copy.
              2. Outliner shows the two groups. Report back to 1 by entering edit mode and leaving confirmed ❓
                3)Instead of making groups the cube1 and cube2 were made in nested component then no bug splat. Checking placement of stretching plane shows the tool will change the definition, say of cube2 if plane is thu it and not cube2 in other instance of cubed into differnt instances.
                Ckecking version , may have 2.0

                These bugsplats may be related to the fact that when you copy a group, it behaves as a component until it is edited or modified. Normally FredoScale makes them unique, but there may be problem for these type of copy-cat groups.
                Also, having the outliner open is usually not recommended, especially with version 6 and 7.

                  I heed the previous warnings and roll it up before doing any thing.
                  It appears I am at 2.0i so will update and look for diff
                  Update: 2.1a gives same result

                    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. By extension, some transformation can be done without a selection box.

                    • Select one or several objects (faces, edges, groups or components)

                    • Click on the icon of one tool, for instance Scaling

                    • You can orientate the selection box:

                    • Arrow Upwill align on model axes

                    • Arrow Leftand Arrow Rightwill cycle through axes of components at highest level

                    • Arrow Downwill restore the initial alignment when selecting

                    • Gently click and drag on the handles to perform the deformation. Toggle the CTRL key to perform the deformation from the center.

                    • You can type relevant values in the VCB or via a dialog box (TAB key)

                    • For Twist and Bend, F4 toggles a Slicer on and off

                    • For Stretch, F4 toggles a Divider on and off

                    • It is a good idea to check the contextual menu to see available options

                      I can reproduce the bugsplat.
                      This seems definitely related to the question of Groups behaving as components when copied and not edited yet.
                      I think I can do something about.

                      Just in case, FredoScale includes a commande MakeUnique (icone as a 1) which applies a make unique to groups and components recursively.

                        Hi Fredo

                        Thanks for this great set of tools.

                        One suggestion- would it be possible to add a "uniform deformation" checkbox to the box dimension dialog box so that you can scale uniformly to a specific dimension? I can't seem to get uniform deformation when using "scale to targets" or while using the dimension dialog box, even when toggling the shift key.

                        Cheers

                        joel

                              The bugsplat in mirroring seems to be related to the question of unique component (again).

                                      I'm getting this error when i start SU (v 8):

                                      I'm fairly certain the directory structure is as you specify. I extracted the files from the subfolders into their own folders as specified but I also extracted those files to the plugin directory just in case.

                                      any thoughts?

                                        Did you install LibFredo6, as the instructions say? It's required to run most of Fredo's plugins.
