FredoScale doesn't allow absolute input? I must admit, I never tried before, but as the native SketchUp Scale tool accepts absolute input (scale to 100mm -> will scale to match size, not the scaling ratio), I just needed to scale very precisely with FredoScale and it seems to not work like that.
Please confirm. Thanks

Yeah it does. (not the same method as SU tool though)

Would you please tell me how, then?
Much appreciated. -

-it Dies pretty easily when organic components selected and or when a small group of drawings selected.

An example or two would help...
Otherwise Fredo would need to rely entirely on his ESP... -
Hello everyone,
Amazing plugin! But, the more I use it I go finding some problems, I don´t know if they are common bugs or just limitations of the plugin.
I usually have problems at exploding, grouping or regrouping geometry that has been sheared preaviously (I have just noticed it when using "shear").
The reshaped elements or components return to their original shape, (previous to FredoScale), after doing any of the operations listed:
- after exploding a reshaped group. (sometimes)
- after "copying-pasting out" a plane from a reshaped group.
- after grouping a set of reshaped groups.

Can I use this to scale a component without scaling any inner components/geometry (just increasing and decreasing the space between objects)?
I.E there are 20 sub components in the the component and I would like the components to remain the same size while scale, and only the size between the components to shrink and expand proportionally.

From your description I don't think so. I have not seen any sort of setting that would allow that. You can do that sort of thing sequentially in one direction with "stretching" controlling the "divider" location, and performing a stretch for each space, but it wouldn't be possible in all directions.

Yeah unfortunately; however I found another method:
If someone has access to sketchup pro and dynamic components he can permanently set the dimensions of each component (for example in the size attributes click lenx, type "=40",press enter and repeat for lenY and LenZ) and it's really simple to do. Then no mater how many components he has selected and scales them all at ones they will always remain the original size, increasing or decreasing the space between them. Saves a lot of time when doing seating on stadiums for example.
Regular Sketchup users will have to do it the old fashion way until someone creates a plugin for this.

Hi,
Just installed Sketchup 2017, and when using the Fredoscale- radial bending sketchup crashes as soon as the command is completed. Just wondering whether this is a problem with my system or a known compatibility problem for Sketchup 2017?
Kind Regards,
Nigel

I just tested it and it works fine on my machine. Did you install Fredoscale and LibFredo6 fresh from the Plugin Store or did you just copy over from an older SU install?
-
Just removed and reinstalled them but still the same problem

Nigel

Hi,
Sorry i thought i solved the problem with the installation but it crashes when an object is grouped- works fine when exploded - but get bug splat when bending a group object.
Iam using Sketchup 2017- windows 7 professional -

Iam using Sketchup 2017- windows 7 professionalCould you post or PM the model, with indications of which part you try to bend.
In general complications come from multiple instances of components.Fredo

hi guys
Actually I am having the same problem in Sketchup 2017 Pro. I wanted to bend a cube, and as soon I exit the tool it bugsplatted on me. It also crashes using "twisting with orientation of scaling box". It only happens when the object is a group or component.
