[Plugin Library] LibFredo6 - v15.4a - 13 May 25

cacowan · 25 Sept 2012, 01:00

Still trying and still frustrated in geting fredoscale to work. All files are updated. Computer re-started from a cold shut down. Only other plugin is mirror. All I really need is the fredo toolset. Mirror works. I had some idea that it was the z axis that had problems, but no. Sketchup closes with any movement or attempted movement of the toggle. Every file in the plugins folder is read and write.

What would be the correct way to remove everything and re-download and re-install? Can I just delete them from the directory? I'm not sure which files are which now that it's been extracted to the plugins folder.

Yikes.

Something I just noticed... sometimes.... the toggles look like the scale tools in Sketchup... like there's three across... THAT's when it crashes. If I click away, and try the tool again...sometimes... the toggles remain singular, and then (as in the last two tries) it works. If the toggles are oversize and all black... it's like the tool launched incorrectly, and the crash happens. If this is how I have to work... then so be it. Got to get these drawings out tomorrow.

Cacowan,

I guess the "toggles" you mention are actually the "handles" for scaling

To understand your problem, could you clarify the following

can you check you have in the Plugins directory
- FREDOSCALEDir_22 folder
- LibFredo6.rb
- LIBFREDO6_DIR_46 folder
  ..and no other file with Fredoscale in their name
Do you have one of the following plugins installed?
- Podium
- Matchbox
- SunPosition
- SketchyPhysics
Do you see the FredoScale toolbar with all icons
does the crash happen when you use the Scale tool only, or any of the other tool (Bend, Twist, Rotate, Taper, ...). By the way, which tool do you use when it crashes
Does the crash happen with any model or just a particular model
can you open the Ruby console when you play with FredoScale, in case there are messages

Thanks

Fredo

I install a lot of tools and did not find any problems, work properly! Thank the LibFredo6 work! !

Hi- When I opened up Sketch-Up tonight there was the familiar "check for update" icon for the various Fredo plugins. I clicked the icon to check and recieved the following error messages:

I've used this functionality many times without a problem. Any suggestions?

Thank you,
Michael

My 'guess' is it's the new forum server causing a problem... john

Yes, Fredo needs to update his tool's code to suit the new site address / format...

Thanks guys. Usually things like this are me doing something dumb

NEW RELEASE: LibFredo6 v4.6d - 03 Oct 12

LibFredo6 4.6d is a minor release which essentially fixes a problem in the functionality "Check for Updates". The issues comes from the change in URL schema of the new SKetchucation web site.

See main post of this thread for Download.

TIG,

The forum supports the old and new schemes.
Unfortunately, when using Ajax (XMLHttpRequest), you need to have the new valid URL address.

Has anyone else successfully tried this? I just installed it, overwrote the exisitng files, and get the same error messages. Thank you,
Michael

TIG · 3 Oct 2012, 19:41

I still get an error.
The error is because of the new SCF format, presumably the thread's code has changed...
Might it be TT's tools causing issues, rather than the updated Fredo tools.

Unfortunately the error message isn't very precise...

I did it just now. It worked fine for me but told me that 4.6c is out of date. It did that after I installed 4.6d.

driven · 3 Oct 2012, 19:57

all working on the mac, from London... john

When you call the CheckForUpdate dialog box (without updating), which version of LibFredo6 do you see ? LibFredo6 4.6c or LibFredo6 4.6d ?

Fredo

TIG · 3 Oct 2012, 20:03

Mine says 4.6c NOT d...
It's a clean install - I removed the old files/subfolder...

LibFredo6.plugin says 4.6d in Plugins BUT 4.6c in the Lib subfolder !

Dave R · 3 Oct 2012, 20:05

I get the same thing as TIG. After seeing it the first time, I removed the files and did a clean install.

TIG · 3 Oct 2012, 20:09

I copied the Plugins '.plugins' file into the Lib subfolder, overwriting the older one, and now it reports 4.6d in the checker dialog and all works fine !

Dave R · 3 Oct 2012, 20:12

So that .plugin file shouldn't have been outside the folder? This is the way the file looked when I opened it.

Easily moved, though.

Fixed.
