      For whatever reasons Windows7 doesn´t allow winrar - in my case - to unpack the files to the plugins directory.
      Follow the above recomendations allowing winrar to run under administrator rights and it´s done.Hope iy helps

        It's not so much the decompression application running as 'admin'... BUT that 'you' have FULL security-permissions to read/write to the Plugins folder [and for that matter Components, Materials and Styles folders too, because from time to time 'you' will want to add files to those...]

          hi,

          can I copy paste only the FredoTools_CurviShear.rb only to the plugins folder and erase all other plugins from the FredoTools_Dir_12 folder?

          will it load properly like the old day coz i only need the curvishear to make a ramp

            NO it won't work.
            But if you go to the Default Parameters dialog box of FredoTools, you can select which ones would appear in the icon toolbar and in the contextual selection menu.

              I had Remove Lonely Vertices in my context menu. This has recently disappeared. Is there some trick to get it into the context menu?

              Thanks, Peter

                Strange,

                Just in case, go to the Default Parameters dialog box because this is where you can enable or disable the tools of FredoTools in the toolbar and in the contextual menu.

                  😳 I didn't realize it was under the FredoTools submenu... it used to be different right? Or am I imagining?

                  Thanks for the help. Now I have this oft-used function again!

                    Well! It is like this because the real estate of the contextual menu is precious.
                    But of course, it is less efficient.

                          They do work. Update your Fredo6 Library file.

                            Devo studiare tutto in inglese, Fredo!! Ma la installazione è stata perfetta! Complimenti e grazie! 😄

                                  Fredo,

                                  I have installed Sketchup 2013 Make on a Linux instance and it seems to be working well. Unfortunately I have a problem loading FredoTools 1.2a. The error message I receive is:

                                  Error Loading File C:/Program Files/SketchUp/SketchUp 2013/Plugins/FREDOTOOLS_Dir_12/__loader.rb
                                  can't convert nil into String

                                  I have tried disabling my other plugins to isolate the cause and then adding them back one at a time and when FredoTools is enabled I start having this problem. I'm happy to assist you in any tracing, since I'm aware that SketchUp itself is not supported on Linux. This is a brand new install and all plugins packages have been downloaded within the past 24 hours.

                                  I am also encountering the same problem in Sketchup 8 on the same machine.

                                  Kind Regards,

                                  Tom

                                    Ensure that the SketchUp Plugins folder AND all of its contents [subfolders/files] have FULL Read/Write security permissions set.
                                    On Windows existing contents typically adopt the settings of their parent.
                                    Properties > Security > Edit... each user/group in the list > FULL... Apply/OK

                                    On a MAC you need to deliberately tell the OS to apply the changes to contents.
                                    On Linux it may be the same...

                                    Also set Sketchup.exe to 'always run as administrator' [if you can] ...

                                    Do you have that .rb file in the named subfolder
                                    C:/Program Files/SketchUp/SketchUp 2013/Plugins/FREDOTOOLS_Dir_12/__loader.rbIf not, then it suggests you had limited permissions and the have not installed the files as you think you have...

                                      Strange message. Not sure it is related to your Linux installation.

                                      Could you check that the file __loader.rb contains a single line:
                                      Traductor::Plugin.myplugin('FredoTools').effective_load

                                      Fredo

                                        TIG, The __loader.rb does exist in the .../FREDOTOOLS_Dir_12/ folder and has it's permissions set to -rw-r--r-- and all other *.rb files have the same permissions.

                                        Fredo, The __loader.rb file does contain the line:

                                        Traductor::Plugin.myplugin('FredoTools').effective_load

                                        ...and nothing else.

                                        If I rename the 000_AdditionalPluginFolders.rb file the error appears to go away, which seems like an acceptable workaround. I am unable to use WebDialog for that add-on for somereason. All other WebDialogs are working, but that one just displays raw HTML, but does not generate any exceptions other than when FredoTools is loaded, curious.

                                        Thanks,

                                        Tom

                                          Fredo,

                                          I stand corrected renaming the 000_AdditionalPluginsFolder.rb did not resolve the problem, but it did expose a different/extended message:

                                          Error Loading File C:/Program Files/SketchUp/SketchUp 2013/Plugins/FREDOTOOLS_Dir_12/__loader.rb
                                          can't convert nil into String
                                          Error Loading File ZLoader__GhostComp.rb
                                          can't convert nil into String
