NEW RELEASE: LibFredo6 v4.2a - 16 Sep 11

LibFredo6 4.2 should fix some issues for recent versions of Mac OS and Safari 5.0.6 and above (images not displayed and check-for-update not working). LibFredo6 4.1 was not fully solving the problem.

thanks for all your great plugins and pursuance of cross platform performance.

if I had the money, I'd buy you a mac as a well deserved reward...

What was your solution?

The solution is to use set_file with a temporary HTML file in the Temp directory. Simply, I had inadvertedly left a piece of code which was still doing a set_html under certain conditions, and set_file did not supersede the set_html (strangely, even if the HTML was taken from the temp file, the web dialog was created with the window.location = about:blank -- only a refresh of the page would make it right).

Hi
I'm trying to install this on a mac. Not clear on how to extract the files into SUplugins.

I unzipped the file on the desktop and can select all the files but unsure what to do next.

Thanks

The unzip operation should lead to a simple footprint in the SU plugins directory

a file: libFredo6.rb
a folder: LIBFREDO6_Dir_42

Possibly do the extract in a neutral place, and then copy the file and folder to the SU Plugins directory.

Hello Fredo6,

I'm on Mac running OS X Snow Leopard and I've DL all your files and don' manage to install it properly despite I've been following your advices on the .pdf or this web site.
I don't know exactly what's wrong with what I'm doing but it's not working...
libFredo6.rb and libFredo6.pluging are in the right (I think) directory "Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/plugins"
I've DL 000_AdditionalPluginFolders.rb and put it in this directory "Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 7/SketchUp/plugins" but same same, it's not working.

Basically I'm a bit lost and would love to find the solution to make it work.
This tools looks amazing to use and make the work so much easier.

If any one as a idea I will be pleased and really thankful.

First, I guess you use Sketchup 8. So the standard directory for Plugins should be
"Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/plugins".
I say that as you seem to use also the ...Google Sketchup 7...directory.

Second, LibFredo6 is not really a plugin by itself, but a library supporting other plugins.
At least did you check you have a menu ***Windows > LibFredo6 settings.....***If so, then you have a correct installation and ready to dowload and install my other scripts (like FredoScale, Roundcorner, ...)

Hi,

John,
No i don't have any working plugin yet.
So here the first screenshot where I put all of them.
I don't think I should put it here (second screenshot)

Fredo,
Yes I use SU pro 8 (I copy/past from the first post you give )
So Where should I put LibFredo6 ?
No I don't see LibFredo6 settings in my menu, I don't get what to do btw LibFredo6, and 000_AdditionalPluginFolders or even FreeScale....
Sorry guys I'm a waist of time...

Thank your help

Your footprint is not correct. You don't have a Folder LIBFREDO6_Dir_42 in your SU Plugins folder (and you have a file LibFredo6.plugin which should not be there).

I suggest you download the ZIP file and do the extraction in a separate directory. You hsould have only:

1 file, LibFredo6.rb
1 folder LIBFREDO6_Dir_42
Then, when it is OK, copy the file and the folder to the SU Plugins Directory, that is, Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/plugins

loyflut · 1 Oct 2011, 21:38

Ok, that's all working.

I don't know why but I tough the all file would not go by it self in the plugin directory, that was my mistake.
Now I just have to learn how to use them and create great product.

Thank a lot Fredo for your precious help.
The tools you develop are just super important and super efficient.

Thank you so much.

I am having trouble with putting round edges on an inset box, within a box. When I try to round the edges, the inset box disappears. I have attached a very simple model which will illustrate my problem if you select the edges and round them. Any idea what I need to do differently in order to make all the edges (both inside and outside edges) become rounded?

Inset Box file

Dave R · 14 Oct 2011, 10:26

Does it disappear or does it just get skinned over? What settings are you using?

tjwilson · 14 Oct 2011, 10:40

If you meant the settings on RoundEdge,I was using an edge radius of 3/16" and have tried a number of different segments for rounding, but 6 segments would be fine.

tjwilson · 14 Oct 2011, 10:42

Maybe it just gets skinned over. I'm pretty new to SketchUp, so I have not sdjusted any settings from the default settings on Pro8. An outline of the original inset box still shows up when I do the round edges, but it appears to be back in the same plane as the outer box.
If you are referring to the Round Edge settings, I have been using 3/16" radius edges with 6 segments.
