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

guanjin · 8 Nov 2013, 14:17

NEW RELEASE: LibFredo6 v5.4b - 08 Nov 13

Note: LibFredo6 5.4a was an incorrect release on the forum (it was OK on Plugin Store). So please move to 5.4b for avoidance of doubt

LibFredo6 5.4b is a pivot release for future Sketchup compatibility. It is also necessary for TopoShaper 1.1 (which includes an Altitude Editor)

Note: I will re-release all my scripts in the coming days, hopefully based on LibFredo6 5.4

See main post of this thread for Download.

Fredo

Thank updates, operating normally, thank you!

Hi Fredo,
Thanks for you awsome plugin. However I have difficulties install it to alternative file location using additional plugin folder. I installed latest version library and plugins from plugin store and when launch SketchUP I have messages about errors and have no plugins in sketchup after opening. The only I have BZ_toolbar with no icones on it. I'd be appreciate if you could help me to solve a problem.

first off, a massive thank you for your hard work.
I have recently upgraded to 2013 but the installation of fredocore has been less than smooth for me . I have installed it via the extension warehouse but run into this error in my ruby console|

rror; #<NoMethodError; undefined method `each' for nil;NilClass>
/Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2013/SketchUp/Plugins/Lib6Core.rb;191;in `get'

/Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2013/SketchUp/Plugins/Lib6Core.rb;191

In this instance i tried to use the box scaling but nothing happens or shows. Ive done a ton of googling but I have not seen a similar error message. I hope anyone can help me

thnx,

@metamachine

Please add your OS and SketchUp version to your SketchUcation User profile...
And then expand their details in a post as needed...
That will often help us understand your issues more readily...

I guess you are on a MAC with v2013 [Make?]...

Have you restarted SketchUp after the updates - some of Fredo's tools require this to complete the changes...*
Have you installed the very latest versions of the Lib itself AND each of the Tools.
Many have been updated to suit v2013 and so they cannot be 'copied over' from your v8 folders.
All of the latest Lib and Tool files should be available at the EW... OR they are download-able as RBZ archives from the easy to use SketchUcation PluginStore page [these can then be installed from the SketchUp > Preferences > Extensions > Install... button in v8/v2013], or using SketchUcation's Plugin Store dialog from within SketchUp itself, which AutoInstalls etc...*

Yea, i should have added my profile and system specs.
Anyway, Im running a retina macbook pro late 2013 osx mavericks and sketchup 13. I have installed the plugins via the EW so I have no idea what is going on exactly. I have noticed this mavericks update is very picky with granting apps and software permission to write etc. to the point of claiming the software "is broken and should me moved to thrash" if it comes from a source apple does not recognise.

Yesterday i died a complete reinstall of sketchup 2013 but to no avail. I guess Ill have to mess about a bit more

fixed!

so apparently having the plugins in both user/library/sketchup/plugins and hd/library/sketchup/plugins causes a conflict and stops the extension from working. after some hours of frustration I can finally work again.

thank you again

Please do update your profile, then.

Why did you put the file in the alternate Plugins folder ?

emash · 19 Nov 2013, 19:15

Please help me, my interface is resetting each time i start sketchup. Plugin buttons using fredo are all gone each start, P.S. Mac OS, sketchup pro 8

jimbob99 · 28 Nov 2013, 18:53

rhino > sketchup... too many plugins and downloads for tools that should already been implented into the original program.

Do you have FULL read/write Security permission set for all users/groups listed under Properties > Security > Edit... for the Plugins folder ?
If not, then you might think you have installed the Lib folder, but Windows might have actually put it into the VirtualStore to protect you from yourself, but not tell you...
If you have a link/button in one of the top-bars of the Plugins folder's Windows Explorer window that's a sure sign...
Fix the Security to FULL [you need to be an Admin to do that [set it in Users control-panel if not]].
Then install the Lib and any other things you find in the VirtualStore...

Alternatively... if you think you have installed the Lib and it is in the Plugins folder... then how did you do it - if you did it manually did you keep the files in their subfolders etc - not doing so is a recipe for disaster !
I recommend you use the RBZ Preferences > Extensions > Install... button installer, or use the PluginStore dialog's AutoInstaller...
