      Hi SU-pers!

      I've a little question and it's probably asked before. But I can't find it in this forum nor an answer in the manual. I want to scale a box(for instance) with the FredoScale-tool, and I want to scale that from the Centre (with the ctrl-key) and then input(TAB) ONLY the width(along the red axis). But this seems to be not possible without a length-input...It's hard to explain....But I only want to have one dimension fixed while scaling the object proportionally around its centre.
      How can this been done, does anyone know that?
      Thanks in advance!
      Pep

I am running Mac OS Lion and I just tried to install your Fredo Scale 2.2 a and LibFredo6 and placed the folders in the approiate plugins... but I dont see any of the tools when I start up SketchUP.

          Jonathan please post the file path. Click on the FredoScale_Dir22 folder and get info (command "i") and look at "where". The total path should read /Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/plugins

            At the risk of repeating ourselves yet again...
            Are you extracting files from the zip correctly ?
            Are you also getting and installing the required Lib' folder of supporting tools as advised on the download page ?
            What 'Plugins folder' are you putting things into on your MAC ?
            The root[HD]...Library...Plugins is good, user...Library...Plugins is bad.
            There are several helpful posts about how to extract and install plugins...
            Once everything is in the right folder[s] a restart will make the tool available.
            Activate it from Preferences > Extensions.
            Active it toolbar from View > Toolbars [slightly different name on a MAC ?].
            Customize what appears on the tool's toolbar using the special menu items as explained in the tools help docs/pages...

              Just a note, on Mac, Preferences are found under the SketchUp menu to the left of File.

                        i tested a few things against rhino and as far as i can tell, it gives the same exact results.. πŸ‘
                        but the crazy thing is, fredo's version is faster β˜€
                        the offset/rotate idea is very clever and well implemented.
                        bravo!

                                    probably. but I don't care anymore. this solves it in my book.

                                          NEW FEATURES: with LibFredo6 4.5- 08 May 12

                                          If you upgrade to LibFredo6 4.5, you will get two new features for the Free Rotate tool (and other tools based on rotation such as Box Rotate, Twist, Free Planar Shearing).

                                          These new functions are largely inspired from Jeff Hammond's mini-challenge.

                                          1. Rotate with Offset
                                            In the SU Rotate tool and previous versions of FredoScale Free Rotate, the inferences are only done about the base line of rotation. This makes difficult to perform rotation when the target point to infer is not on the base line.
                                            In the new version of Free Rotate, there is an extra step where you can select a target line at a certain offset to be used for inference. This is shown on the video below.

                                          Free Rotate - Rotate with offset.gif
                                          Note that this step is proposed by default in Free Rotate (just click again if you don't need it) and as an option for other tools (via a long click).

                                          1. Inference on line
                                            The typical situation is to rotate a line until it exactly touches another line. This is a typical limitation of the SU Rotate tool which does not provide inference for this case.
                                            Free Rotate now proposes this inference.
                                            This is an old request from Daniel S, also mentioned by Jeff in his mini-challenge.
