Fredo,

I've got an issue using FredoTools with AdditionalPluginFolders.

The problem is related here with shortcuts for illustration.

Many thanks to look at that !

It seems the issue is in LibFredo6 actually (error in the logging of errors!!). I don't know why you have FredoTools in error. Possibly you may open the Windows > LibFredo6 Settings > View Trace Files... dialog box and check if there is more info (in red).

Anyway, I would suggest the following

• Upgrade to AdditionalPluginFolders 4.2a
• Upgrade to LibFredo6 5.3g (just published).

Then, if you still get the error, could try to drop and replace the attached file Fredo6_!LibFredo6.rb in the directory where you installed my scripts.
Fredo6_!LibFredo6.rb

Thanks

Fredo

Thanks for help Fredo !

Here is the "View trace files" :

As you can see, my Fredo6 tools are up to date...

Another question : Fredo6 has created a default parameters folder on the first level of C:/ (visible on the 4th line of the "View trace files").
Is it possible to locate this folder at another place ?

Fredo,

update of Libfredo6 solved part of the problem but not all :

Here is the message error :

Here is the trace log (only error items) :

ConstructFaceNormal, CurviShear and RevertCurve seem to work fine !

[fredo6]

Very very strange.
I would expect that none works or all work.

I'll have a closer look

Could you show me the content of the subfolder FREDOTOOLS_Dir_12 (files and dates)

Some of my Fredo plugins need an update now. I've never done this before, so my question is how to update those plugins? Do I uninstall the older versions first and download the newer ones or just download the new version and the plugins are updated automatically in this way? Thanks for any help.

There is no 'uninstallation' of my plugins (as these are just files in folders). So You can safely install the new versions

1. I would suggest that you first install the SCF Plugin Store plugin, if not already done. This is the safest and easiest way to install plugins.

2. Install LibFredo6 first, then the other plugins

3. Once you have installed, you can go to Windows > LibFredo6 Settings... > Purge Obsolete files and delete the files and folders related to the previous versions

Thank you very much, I got it. Also thanks for all your great tools and plugins. I just start to learn and appreciate your tools since I'm beginner but nevertheless I can see the greatness.

Hello everybody!

I'm trying to make a bent stair, so I created the stair's "profile" and intended to bend it using radial bending and then joint push pull in order to give it width.

in order to do that, I made the steps as simple as possible and turned slicing off (so that the shape would be bent only at the vertical edges.

unfortunatelly, bending screwed up the normals and when I tried to use the JPP faces were extruded weirdly.

Is there something I can do about it?
I know that a solution would be to extrude first and bend later, but because of reasons of repetition and workflow It would serve me better to do it this way

When i install this plugin it tells me, you need the version 5.2 libfredo and so on, and i have that, or even a later one, so after ive installed it nothing happens? the same thing happened to fredoScale but for some reason that got installed, and im using it without a problem? any quick solution ?

Instead of using soften/smooth on the vertical almost-coplanar edges try making them just 'hidden' ??
