            Hi!!
            First of all : Muchas gracias! Super plugin!
            Now... I have somme trouble with the plugin. Almost everything works fine, but "PlanarShear" and "Radial Bend" give me a bugsplat immediately, no matter the size or the form of the component, even with a single line ❓

            I tryed everything i found on the forum, i updated the plugin, i updated de Fredo Lybrary, etc.

            The bugsplat gives me : SketchUpP2JD3HV5.dmp, OG5T2D56.xml, SketchupUndo0.log
            I work on Windows XP, SU 7.0.11018, 3Go of Ram, Intel Dual-Core E5300 (I know my PC s***ks, but is not mine, is my firm's).

            Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

              When do you get the blug splat

              • when you select and start FredoScale
              • When you generate the transformation.
                Also, could you open the Ruby console, to see if you see something displayed just before you get the bug splat.
                Thanks to be more accurate on the conditions

              Fredo

                    Thank you very much Mr. Fred for this new update. It is very good.

                    If possible, the next update adds the option to change the color and size of the nodes in the boxes?

                    Box.jpg

                    and switch on or off the visualization of the axes

                    thank you very much

                      NEW RELEASE: FredoScale 2.2a- 24 Jul 11

                      This release integrate a feature of Collapsing handles when dimensions are small on screen.

                      This was suggested in a request by Cunningham.

                      Kyyu also produced a plugin "Simple Scale Tool Handles" for the standard Scale tool.

                      The principle is to hide the handles on corners and edges when the dimension of a side appears too small on the screen (like this is usually the case for boards or for timbers). However, when you zoom in, all handles will progressively reappear.

                      By default a dimension is considered "small on screen" if its size appears to be under 30 pixels in the current view. You can change this value in the Default Parameters dialog box. Note that entering a value of 0 will disable the feature, i.e. all handles will always appear.

                      FredoScale Collapse Handles.gif
                      Note also that as of this release, the Dice option (activated by F4) is active by default

                      Please see main post for download

                      Fredo

                        I have two major problems with the plugin: I can't see the new scaling icon on toolbar and I could not find it on settings webdialog.
                        Second problem is shown in the images below. It seems that stretching is made accordingly with global axis, not component's orientation.
                        I have the last plugin and LibFredo3.7

                            1. There is no new scaling icon

                            2. you need first to orientate the scaling box. Just click on the long edge of your component.

                                Strange, I haven't done that before... is it a new feature? Also it is possible that I never was into position to stretch rotated components πŸ˜„
                                Thanks for the tip. What about components that don't have edges collinear with axis orientation, how do we orientate the scaling box then?

                                  You can have extra icons that are 'scale to target' enabled. Check the documentation to see what they care.

                                  @Fredo

                                  Your first post still has the January version as the current download version under the download icon. The file is correct but the text suggests an older version.

                                    Just go to Fredo6 Collection > FredoScale > Default Parameters.... Scroll down the dialog box and you'll find check boxes to enable additional icons. Note that whether icons are visible or not, the menu entry for all commands is always available. The icons you talk about are Scale to Target and Stretch to Target

                                    First you can orientate the box by clicking on any line or face in the model. The line or face does not have to be in the component.
                                    Second, you can also orientate the box along the local axes of the component. Just use the Arrows.
                                    All details are explained in the documentation which is available from within Sketchup (Fredo6 Collection > FredoScale > Documentation...)

                                      Hi, this is a lovely pugin, however there appears to be an issue concerning the context menu in other tools becoming greyed-out when it is enabled... http://sketchuptips.blogspot.com/2010/05/sketchup-context-menu-greyed-out.html
                                      I don't fully understand the explanation at this above post link, but following the advice to disable FredoScale seems to fix the greyed out context menu...
                                      Is there a fix in the pipeline ?
                                      Anyway, it's a minor thing once one knows, & thanks for the good work.

                                        Hi Patrick,

                                        That (my) blog post is over a year old, and I thought FredoScale had been updated to address the problem. I can not find a reference to it being fixed. Fredo will need to clarify.

                                        Hi
