      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.
      free roate artifact or issue.skp
      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 . πŸ‘ πŸ‘

            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

              Download the free D'oh Book for SketchUp πŸ“–

                  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've begun to add checks for TT_Lib2 for my plugins that require it - and provide a messagebox explaining what is missing asking if they want to open a webpage where they can download it.

                          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...

                              I assume you aren't trying to work on the whole 50Mb of geometry !
                              Make the part you want to bend into a component.
                              Do a Save_as on it into an external 'part' SKP.
                              Open that much smaller SKP and run the tool.
                              If it still fails perhaps it's a physical size issue - very tiny or very gigantic geometry ? If so try using the native tool to Scale the part-model by 10 or 100, process and then Scale back to the original size.
                              Assuming you get the bending done, save the part-model, then in the main model 'Reload' the component - the updated 'part' will adjust to show its new form...

                                Thanks TIG, I'm gonna do that. It's a tricky smart choice

                                    The tool's download page has a clear explanation of how and where the tool is installed on a MAC.
                                    The required Lib is also linked and its installation is also explained in its post.
                                    [Same 'plugins' folder...]

                                    Another issue that some MAC users have is that the specified HD plugins folder must have full read+write permissions for you - this must also trickle down to that folder's contents and subfolders...

                                    There are many more detailed threads covering all of this, if you still need it do a search...

                                      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

                                      I am having the same problem. I am placing the files in the correct place but it is not working. Were you able to get this straightened out?

                                        Renee, did you follow TIG's post above yours?

                                        If all the files are really in the right place and you've got Read and Write permissions for the Plugins folder established, the plugin should be working.

                                          Hi Fredo! First of all, thank you very much for these plugins, they looks so helpfull. Unfortunately, I can't use it. I have a mac and google sketchup pro 8, I download the files and folders, then I put in the plugin directory and when I open the programme an errore message appear:

                                          Cannot load plugin LibFredo6 because the script cannot create DEFPARAM_Dir folder in:
                                          /Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/Plugins

                                          Please create it manually, respecting the case

                                          What does it mean? Could you helpl me please?

                                          Thanks.

                                          Edo

                                            Edo,

                                            This is a problem of permission on your Mac (here for programs to create folders)

                                            As indicated, just create an empty folder with name DEFPARAM_Dir in the main Sketchup Plugins directory which should be
                                            Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/plugins

                                            Fredo
