Hi there,

Since 2-3 weeks i have a macbook pro with retina screen. Though the screen is very nice it does not work like you want with all applications.

In SU a lot of interfaces of plugins which rest in a corner for user interface are very small. In this screen shot its blown out cause retina doubling pixels, on real dimensions its very small.

Is there a method i can scale this up?

Sorry hadnt tried a search first ... I noticed there's this Retina option, i checked and the menu is bigger. But font in menu is still very small. Can i enlarge this some how?

Unfortunately, the Ruby Sketchup API does not gve any control on the size of texts.

But in some OSX Retina set up, it is possible to enlarge the character size by a system parametrization. So the Retina option of LibFredo6 is simply there to double the size of the graphical drawing, not more.

There is a discussion at http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=15%26amp;t=56028%26amp;hilit=retina.
you can also search for Retina keyword in the forum.

Having an issue with Curviloft and this update. Toolbar doesn't open and I get this box. When I exit out of Curviloft and open ToolsOnSurface, the same Curviloft box now opens. Same issue happens with RoundCorner as well.

Someone else contacted me about this and it turned out they had a lingering file from an older version of LibFredo6 still in their Plugins folder. Is it possible that the situation for you?

Could you open the Ruby console and check if there are errors displayed.

Thanks

Dave R · 4 Aug 2015, 17:08

From the first post of this thread it's pretty clear.

As Dave R just explained... There is a link in the very first post in this thread.
This linking is common in most such Plugin related threads...

However, there is an even easier way...
Use the SketchUcation "PluginStore" link above / or in the menu [you might have to (re)log in]
In the page's Search box type Fredo and Lib...
You then have a link to that Plugin's entry.
Click on the 'red' Download button and get the RBZ file.
Then use the Preferences > Extensions > Install Extension... button to auto-install it for you.
Restart SketchUp for it to become fully integrated with Fredo's other Plugins...

An alterbative would also be to download the SketchUcation PluginStore Toolset's RBZ, and install that.
Thereafter you can access and browse the vast contents of the PluginStore, then Auto-Install selected ones, without even having to do download the RBZ yourself... Having that toolset installed also gives you lots of other tools like Managers for all Extensions and all Plugins, Plugin UnInstaller, and Update reminders and 'Bundles' to span across SketchUp versions and computers etc etc...

Look three posts up from yours and then at the first post of this thread.

I installed the tools from inside my copy of SketchUp 8 using Autoinstall with the SCF Plugin Store tool. I had no previous installations of these plugins and I am getting the following errors when I open up SketchUp now:

It does load the BezierSpline tool without issue. I installed it the same way I did the other tools from the Plugin Store inside SketchUp.

Any thoughts as to what I should try next? At the very least I would like to get the Round Corners tool working.

Thanks

This type of issue is almost always because old and superseded files have somehow got into the Plugins folder - typically because they were copied over from an earlier version, rather than installing the newest copy available...

I suspect that you have the unwanted/old LibTraductor.rb in the Plugns folder, this is loading and messing with the newer installation - since its equivalent [Lib6Traductor.rb] is now provided inside the Fredo6_!LibFredo6 folder...
See here http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=573620#p573620
So remove the rogue RB file.
Also ensure that the very latest Lib and Plugin's RBZ have been installed.
Restart SketchUp and test.
See if that helps avoid the issue...

Okay I dumped everything out of my plugins folder to start clean again. I loaded the SketchUcationTools.rbz file in SketchUp 8 and opened up the window for it in the program. I selected Autoinstall for the LibFredo6 and restarted SketchUp with no errors. I then opened up the SketchUcation window again and Autoinstalled the RoundCorners v3.0b and restarted this time getting the following errors, I added a picture of my plugin's folder as well:

What am I missing?

TIG · 21 Aug 2015, 10:35

This is a weird error...
Works for me - I can see no problems/errors...

Can you also do the following, copy+paste this into the Ruby Console and report the path returned...
Sketchup.find_support_file('Plugins')
Is this the same as the installed location of the subfolders/rb files etc ?

Also try this and post the result...
ENV["APPDATA"]

Does your Windows User-Name include any unusual [accented] characters ?

fredo6 · 21 Aug 2015, 20:06

@alisonkr
At least do you have LibFredo6 loading, i.e. do you see a menu "LibFredo6 settings..." in the Windows menu of Sketchup?
