hi dear ferdo , I have a little question ...

.. maybe it's a bad question and I know that it takes much time for you to write these features fur us ... thanks a lot for time you spend and offering your incredible codes freely to us ... thanks ferdo ..
my question is
how to disable time tracer and updater part due to have a faster startup and a lighter SU ?
I'm a ruby newbie .. but you codes are too complex for me to trace .. .. I just wanna to know the .rb files that does these extra works ...

I'm sorry for asking these .. I believe that these parts ( specially Updater module )are very useful for all users .. and thanks for codding these parts ferdo ..

thanks

You don't need to edit the ruby files.
Normally, go to the CheckForUpdate dialog box and enter 999 (days) in the 'next check' field.

Fredo

PS: 'Check for update' does not go to the Internet when SU Starts. It just checks the date to see if it should display the reminder, so it is very fast. The fact is that that the reminder is based on a WebDialog and the first web dialogs are used, it takes a little bit long (SU may load extra stuff or perform some operations in the background).

the.pjt · 19 Jun 2012, 20:50

thanks feredo ... I hade done that ( 999 ) several days ago .. but I alwase see the ruby image (update check ) at start up .. how about time tracer tool ?

thanks for answer and support ferdo

hi Fredo, Thanks for this work you've done

I have unzipped it to my plugins folder on C:/Program Files(x86)/google/Google Sketchup 8/plugins but for some reasons I just cant find it in the menus! I have also put LibFredo6.rb in the plugins. am I missing something?

kindest regards

Disco

disco_UK · 20 Jun 2012, 19:06

Can't seem to get the toolbar up. I've followed some of the posts and checked its in the right directory, and also ticked the box in Sketchup.

Any help would be appreciated

A.Noob lol

Which toolbar can't you get to display?

The fredo sub menu under window. I've PM'd Fredo who has been kind enough to reply but so far I've not got to the bottom of it. I do have podium installed and fredo suggest it could be a clash with that?

Thanks for the reply Dave

Dave R · 21 Jun 2012, 07:33

Ah. I see. You said you couldn't get a toolbar to show which is confusing since it isn't a toolbar but a menu entry. So did you try disabling Podium and did that fix it?

I am really new to the plugins for Google sketchup. Can anyone tell me how to update my plugins?

pilou · 19 Jul 2012, 08:49

For the external plugins go to to this page for the name of the plugin
and go to to the end of the first post of the thread address read on the list!
You will find the last Update of each plugin!

And if you want the "indispensables" see my little list

Hi,
I know this might sound silly but I'm new to this and am having trouble with downloading the plug ins.. I want to download round corners and I thought in order to do so I needed to install the LibFred06. When it goes to download and I need to unzip it I DO NOT have a Sketchup Plugins folder option... How do I go about installing this? What do I do...
Thank You

TIG · 26 Jul 2012, 08:08

You do have a Plugins folder - unless you have deleted it.
It's automatically made by the Sketchup installation - it contains example scripts etc...
You will not have a Plugins Menu displayed unless you have some scripts 'active'.
Copy/Paste+<enter> this line of code into the Ruby Console [open that from Sketchup's Window menu] - it will display the path to the Plugins folder on you installation.

Sketchup.find_support_file("Plugins")

For a PC it's typically:
C:/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins
Make sure you have FULL security access permissions [set via properties] for all of your Sketchup folder's subfolders and their contents...

I see you have v8 - with recent versions you could install archived tools using the Window>Preferences>Extensions 'load' button - BUT note that the archive needs to have a .rbz file suffix.
Thomthom has made a SimpleInstaller that does something similar, but also works on .zip archives and .rb/.rbs single files - automatically finding the Plugins folder and extracting files etc for you...
Find that in the Plugins Index - however you do need to put that into the Plugins folder and restart for it to auto-load, so we need to track down where that is...

kersnyc · 27 Jul 2012, 19:04

I tried typing Sketchup.find_support_file("Plugins") into the Ruby Console and nothing is happening?!!!!what do i do now?

TIG · 28 Jul 2012, 08:32

Looks like you'll have to reinstall Sketchup - as an Admin - it should then make all missing folders/files etc.
Before that post a screen shot of your Sketchup folder showing the subfolders that you do have...
It's just weird.

What do you mean "nothing is happening"
If you type the command in the Ruby console (and press Return) you always get an answer.

Fredo

kersnyc · 29 Jul 2012, 02:32

I didn't get an answer.

TIG · 29 Jul 2012, 08:00

If you type [or copy/paste] the full text into the Sketchup Menu > Window > Ruby Console and press <enter> to confirm it, you will always get something returned as the answer !
So typed correctly:
Sketchup.find_support_file("Plugins")
C:/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins
Typed incorrectly [i.e. not an initial capital 'S']:
sketchup.find_support_file("Plugins")
*Error: #<NameError: undefined local variable or method sketchup' for main:Object> (eval):155* Typed incorrectly another way [i.e. without a final 's']: Sketchup.find_support_file("Plugin")`
nil
So even if the file/folder you are looking for doesn't exist you will get 'nil'
Can't you do the folders screen-shot I mentioned before?
You seem to be making very heavy-weather of this
