    Thanks, Fredo:
    This is an example of something that I have noticed from some time back. I just assumed it had something to do with the nature of 3d modeling in Sketchup, and did not pursue it until now. JQL's question resparked it while I was doodling this model. FredoBend works well enough for modeling by eye and impromptu modification. And, I really wasn't intending to be very precise, because there are other ways to achieve what I was doing.
    Thanks again for all you do.

    I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

        I have just installed SU 2014 - I cannot get any of the Fredo 6 plugins to work. Am I doing anything wrong or are they all not yet compatible with SU 2014?

          Did you just copy the files over from the old installation? Download fresh version of Fredo's plugins from the Plugin Store. Or better, install the SCF Plugin Store plugin and install Fredo's plugins automatically. Make sure you get the current version of LibFredo, too.

            Mike,

            Turn your Sketchup off and on again. That worked for me.
            This is what I wrote about it in the topic Sketchup 2014.
            Libfredo6 keeps "Uninstalled" in the list "My Extensions" in "Extension Warehouse" although it is working. I could not install it with the Extension Warehouse but used the .rbz file instead. Same with Fredo Scale and Fredo Tools. These ones were not visible in Sketchup untill I turned the programm off and on again. Although they stay marked "Uninstalled" in "Extension Warehouse" the plugins do work fine.
            My other plugins seem to work. Not done them all...

            Veerle

              The tools in this plugin having to modify geometry, causing "bugs plats" in one instance with instances nested inside, works well when the tool only affects axes

              I understand that exploiting all interior groups solved the problem, but would be good if the user had some kind of warning

              I'm using the latest version of this plugin in Sketchup 8 (Spanish version)
              I attached a file as an example of a group that can cause problems

              grupos.skp

              forgive errors of translation (google translator)

                What a strange way of grouping things. It makes no sense.

                Still, I'm not having any difficulty modifying it with FredoScale. Maybe you could show what you are trying to achieve?

                  Dave tries to use "radial bend" (for example) on the largest group

                    Like this?

                    I see what you mean about the Bug Splat but after I gave it a logical grouping it works just fine. I expect it's caused by your strange method of grouping.

                      right now I'm not designing something, I'm just writing a plugin and discovered this bug by chance

                      I think that could be a problem related to the issue that are not "unique groups" and are nested

                          I used this plugin on an entire house - windows, doors, walls, compound roof, etc. etc.
                          I crashed and crashed - until I started to pull apart the model into logical groups.

                          After I figured that out - it worked perfectly.

                          To solve a 'bending' a large model - draw an origin, and a line. Now take apart the model in logical groups (all the windows, all the doors, the walls, etc. etc.

                          Copy / Paste in place into a new drawing the group of objects, and the origin and scale line.
                          Group everything, FredoScale Bend.
                          Copy / Paste in place into a new drawing.

                          Repeat, but always paste the bent components in place together, in that new 'bent' drawing.

                          It let me take this:

                            Would it be possible to add a scale option for scaling around the base point of a group/component? And another one for scaling multiple groups/components based on their local origin? (as it works in max for instance)

                              What is the base point exactly? Currently FredoScale uses the center of the bounding box.

                              This would be a different plugin, but I think there exists already one doing this.

                                  Why wouldn't it be possible to have this as another option beside the normal scaling and the uniform scaling around the center (strg)?

                                  Yes, this works for uniform scaling, but it doesn't support scaling in one direction or did i miss something? And it is not interactive, you have to put in numerical values.

                                      I've read through the guide and was just wandering: Is it possible, to move the origin(red) about which the object scales from

                                      http://i1303.photobucket.com/albums/ag156/eskimo___/snap-and-drag_170_zps2603458a.jpg

                                      so for instance in the above example, I want to move the origin to where the green cross hair is, so when scaled, it looks like this:
