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

samlion · 20 Aug 2011, 23:56

Hi,
I have download the fredoscale plugin and the libfredo library.

This is a wonderful tool and seems to be ok except the fact that when i click the default parameter option (Tools/Fredo6 collection/Fredoscale/Default parameters...), nothing happen.

I just receive a message in the status bar "Load all ruby files for plugin FredoScale --> 40 ms"

Other hunction seems to run well.

I have tried to uninstall Sketchup and made a new installation of the program and the plugin but nothing happened.

Can you help me please ?

I'm running Sketchup 8 (free version 0 in Windows 7 environment.

Richard,

Can you open the Ruby console and see if a message is displayed.

Also which version of FredoScale and LibFredo6 do you run (go to their About... menu).

Thanks

Fredo

Hi Fredo, thanks for your answer.

The version for LiFredo6 is v3.7c and the version for FredoScale is v2.2a.

When I open the ruby console, there is nothing; its look like a white square where we can enter some commands.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Richard G.

also, the directory DEFPARAM_Dir is empty; there is no file fredoscale.def.

Just in case, did you open the ruby console, and THEN, try to call the FredoScale Default Parameters dialog box, to see if a message is displayed in the console?

Hi Fredo,

I have tried what you mentionned (opening ruby console and then call for default parameters option) and nothing appear in the ruby console.

Thanks in advance.

In this post http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=17948&start=615#p349363 the target point for scaling was outside active model, so I was thinking that is the problem.
Now, in this model, the target is inside active BUT, the axis are not aligned with default. You will see the edges colored by Axis, because I oriented them in accordance with the model, but are not aligned with "Word UCS"(don't know if this is the correct naming; it's a reminiscence from AutoCAD )

Could this help you to try fixing it?
Thank you.

Thank you.[attachment=0:9hv2aqq3]fredoscale target error.jpg[/attachment:9hv2aqq3]

Could you post your model, so that I have a look.

Just in case, FredoScale allows to orientate the box according to the axis of the component (Arrow Right) or the axis of the model (Arrow up)

Thanks

FredoScale hangs Sketchup, when used together groups and components, as well as nested groups and components.
For example, one component contains a group 1 and components 1 and 2. Component 2 contains a group 2 and component 3 and 4.
This bug was in the first version of the plugin and it's still not fixed.

Sorry for not posting a youtube movie, I just uploaded it here, because I don't have a youtube account.

I know I need to rework all this more accurately. I'll try to do it whenever I have time

Could you post a model and tell me more about which tool you use, when it hangs (at selection, while generating the geometry, ...?)

Thanks

The problem seems to be that we can not have a large and deep hierarchy of objects in outliner.

Try the shared model and see how the model is organized in outliner.

Yes, it's definitely a problem when the Outliner is openand the transformation is interactive and operates on components that exist in several instances (like Stretch).
I think this was already signaled and I don't know too much what can be done about it.

Jim Foltz / CPhillips [I think ] made a PC tool to roll-up the Outliner if it's open so that the crashing stops - there's also a send_action PC code... See this http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=15782&p=123147&hilit=rollup#p123147

This can be a problem. But not exactly in this situation.
