      Can you share the model file (or at least the problematic part) you are working with?

        I see it too on a simple box. When the scale handle first moves it is either to 1.05 or 0.95. That's really no a big deal, though. If you want a precise scale factor, just type the desired value including 1.01 or whatever you really want.

          I could upload a file, but Im not sure it would help. This is the behavior all the time. There is not particular file or problem area. It behaves like that all the time.

          Should I upload a file? Will that help?

          Again, its only with the Fredo Scale, not the native scale.

          Let me know if you think it will help ill post one, but it appears to be the script, not a particular file/operation.

          Thanks for the help guys

            Exactly, yes that's what mine does. Very frustrating.

            yes, I can type it in, but this is not as useful as there is no real-time feedback/deformation. If its possible to change it I would love to know how.

            Also, possibly more urgent is that fact that in target mode this 'jump' prevents the operation from occurring at all. Neither draging the handle, or typing in parameters produces a result when scaling in this small range.

            Perhaps its a script issue?

              There is a parameter for fixing the minimum amount of scaling when dragging. Unfortunately, I did not make available for setting in the Default Parameters...dialog box.

              I think I will in a next release.

              In the meantime, you can modify the line 180 of file bootstrap_FredoScale.rb, which is:
              LIMIT_InferenceScale = 0.05
              Just change the value, for instance 0.01.

                Ahhhhh, thank you so much Fredo! And thanks for all the wonderful toys!

                One question, I tried to edit the .rb in a text editor but I was "denied permission". Can anyone tell me how should I go about editing the bootstrap_FredoScale.rb???

                Thanks for the help.

                  You should be able to edit it in your text editor. What program did you try to use to open?

                    Got it!

                    It was a security issue. I did not have full read/write access for the file. Just had to give myself permission, which i graciously did.

                      The attched skp files shows a very simple case using FredoScale 2.2a in the free rotate line inference mode. The plugin seems to declar an intersect point by changing the line color but when one double clicks on the line it shows no division until the base of the triangle is conneted with the line tool. Then intersect happens. All snapping has been deactivated for this case.Using Fredo6 4.5 lib.

                      Is this normal ??

                        You are right. The extremity is well positioned, but the target segment is not divided.
                        Actually Fredoscale does nothing else than perform the rotation to the right angle and let Sketchup do the rest as with the native Rotate tool).
                        Should FredoScale force the Divide?

                          One of the first checks I do is double click the line and if does not divide I conclude some thing is wrong. However, this functionality is not high use ,at least for me, and knowing the artifact I cannot say it is a make play to make a program chage just for that. Maybe some high use users will comment. Otherwise I would suggest to make it a planned change( with other chages) if it isn't a big program impact.
                          The cases I run into, although few, are 3d and so I use the sphere line intersect spread sheet I have.
                          Your tool which is great and that cover all I need . ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ‘

                            I've seen a different looking toolbar in Richs Tutorial, do someone know a source for these icons?

                              Fredo packages 2 icon types with FredoScale. Dig through the setting under Tools and pick Daniels icon set.

                              Also I tend to change most of my icons

                                  Hi!
                                  I am really excited to use your tools in Sketchup. However, I ran into a problem while starting up Sketchup. Attached is an image of the error box that I see upon starting Sketchup. Let me know what can be done. Thanks!

                                    I think you did not install LibFredo6 companion library, as specified in the main post.

                                          I found the problem - I didn't realize that I needed to download a platform ruby file to support the plugin I was trying to install. I'll make sure to read more carefully next time!

                                            Hi Fredo, I'm expecting some crashes sometimes when I'm using the Fredo scale, especially when the file is a little big, like more than 50mb. I'm a mountain lion mac user and I don't know if it's normal, I always save the document before use it, but if you can give me some advice is gonna be great, thanks...
