This is an Excellent Plugin that I would recommend to anyone and everyone who might ever need to create organic shapes such as boat sails and/or tensile roof structures and the like.

It is extremely easy to use and works very well.
The fact that it is Free is also amazing because it certainly does have value and will save you tons of time regardless what you are trying to create with it.

Thanks again so much for sharing this excellent Plugin as well as for continuing to make improvements/updates.

what should I do - look at the attachment, thanks for an answer

Looks like a bad install.

Show us a screen shot of your Plugins folder as well as one showing the contents of the folder called FREDOSCALE_Dir_22. It appears you haven't got _loader.rb inside that folder. If you didn't get that one in there, you probably have others you didn't get in there, too. Follow the instructions in the first post of this thread and take a look at the sticky post about installing zipped plugins.

Thanks, I did a new install and now it is ok. But I have another problem. I'd like to have Toolbar of FredoScale. I have the check of FredoScale ON in View -> Toolbars but I have nothing. Thanks

Dave R · 21 Jun 2012, 13:38

Perhaps your install still isn't correct. Did the toolbar icons get extracted to the right folder? Did you check the box for FredoScale under Extensions?

I am a beginner for setup of SU. I do know what I did but now I have everything. Thanksssss

Hi there guys.
Well i'm having some problems with this set of tools...mainly with the twisting tool...everything seems fine 'till i give the last click to finish the "command"...immediately i get a bugsplat, no matter the shape even with a single cube it crashes . Im using sketchup 8 and windows 7 64 bit.
Any clue? Thanks in advise

It may come from a conflict with another plugin: Podium (some versions), Matchbox, Sun Position, may be others.
Did you try the Bend functions and do you get a bugsplat too.

Maybe you must post some file skp for more helps (save as V6)
And one image before / after

few days is that I do not work anymore fredoscale.

fredoscale using the center of the object (CTRL), I scale the entire object and not expanding the center.

Roberto, these DB images do not load here this way (it actually links to a page where they are inserted). Could you rather attach them to your post?

compliments for the speed of responses. This forum is a really quick.

sorry for my English (using Google translate) but my only language is Italian.

Gaieus · 6 Jul 2012, 21:10

We have an Italian subforum at the bottom (I have added you now). It's not the busiest forum but still, if you get stuck, there are a couple of Italians here...

Thank you! This SketchUp Bending rocks!

Hi!
I have a little problem with this plugin. If the stretching device provided by the component or group, then the attribute does not change the size.

Sorry, this turned out to google.

Dave R · 4 Sept 2012, 22:49

I think I understand what you wrote, local, but it isn't entirely clear.

It is true that if you stretch a component or group, you only change the appearance of that entity but it doesn't change the definition not does it change any other instances of the component in the model. This happens with the native Scale tool as well. To change the definition (attributes) you need to open the component or group for editing and modify the geometry inside.

Could it be that he's referring to Dynamic Components?

local · 5 Sept 2012, 07:24

This component consists of several group.
