[Plugin][$] FredoScale - v3.6a - 01 Apr 24

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

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

Thanks

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

Error Loading File bootstrap_FredoScale.rb
(eval):1: uninitialized constant FredoScale::T6Error Loading File ZLoader__FredoScale.rb
no such file to load -- LibFredo6.rbError Loading File __loader.rb
uninitialized constant Traductor::Plugin

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?

Jim

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

ah - no. can't see that info in the OP. can you direct me where to go for it?

I am trying to bend a profile with precision, let say a 4000mm radius bend at 90°.
the only way I found to do this is to first calculate the length of the arc: PI2000, then use the bend tool and type 6283,20 (PI2000) and bend 90°.
Could it be possible to just type the desired radius in VCB ?

OK - added the fredo6, all works ok except still egtting this error on startup:

Error Loading File bootstrap_FredoScale.rb
(eval):1: uninitialized constant FredoScale::T6

Maybe something to do with the double extraction I did?

To be sure it isn't, why don't you remove anything to do with FredoScale and LibFredo and reinstall them so you know they are installed correctly.

Do you use Plugin Organizer?
Another user had the same problem, which can be solved by setting Excluded Directories.

Hello, Can I use "Stretching with orientation of scaling box" with absolute value? It seems that it works only with scale ratio.
It would be nice to work like SketchUp native scale tool (where is you scale and input 500mm, it will scale the object to have 1000mm on the scaling axis. Or to scale the object adding a certain value more (example: +50mm).

Thanks.

If you press TAB, you'll get a dialog box where you can enter absolute values.
Fields in the dialog box support formulas and units, so you can add " + 50mm" to the fields you wish.

I find while using box stretching that sometimes nested components move too far. They seem to move the same scale amount in relation to the component being scaled. So if you stretch a component by 8" nested components on the stretch side move 16". This does not always occur with nested components. I haven't figured out what the difference is. Is this how the tool should work? Peter

There may be some issues with nested components when small.
Do you have an example?

Fred,

Here's an example. When I went to make the example file, I copied the component and made it unique-for before and after.

Interestingly the doorknob in the original component moved as well--as if the move was made INSIDE the doorknob component itself. AND the doorknob was within a latch component--not all of which moved excessively.

I suppose the fix is to explode the components,if feasible?

Regards,

Peter
