    @topbobster, I expect you copied an old version of LibFredo6 from your ancient SU8 Plugins folder to the SU2016 Plugins folder when you "installed it manually" and at least some of those old files are still resident in the Plugins folder. Go to that folder and delete anything and everything related to LibFredo6. Then reinstall it using the ExtensionStore.

    Did you copy Round Corner, too? If so, delete it and reinstall it fresh.

    It's unwise to copy plugins from an old SketchUp version to a new one. Changes to the Ruby code are common and installing old versions creates problems.

    Hello Dave, thanks for your help but the whole Sketchup8 part was a misunderstanding by me. Whilst trawling the forums for help I saw references to both Google Sketchup8 and '2016' got muself in a bit of a twist, thinking I had not had a version 8, so installed into both they were all new installs to both rather than old files so please ignore that part. Fredo did reply with a 7.2d download but still no luck so have replied to Fredo regarding that. Appreciate your interest. Rob

      NEW RELEASE: LibFredo6 v7.2d - 31 Oct 16

      LibFredo6 7.2d fixes a major bug preventing its loading for SU versions < 2014. So if you run SU6, SU7, SU8 or SU2013, it is mandatory to upgrade to v7.2d.

      See main post of this thread for Download of LibFredo6.

          There is a weird problem for versions < SU2014, in relation with the loading of encrypted files (.rbs).
          I think I found a fix, and will republish soon.

          [version now published as v7.2d]

          In the meantime, if you have time to install the two new versions attached (my other plugins should be OK).

          Thanks

          Fredo

            From the trace you showed in a previous post, it seems you get a problem loading the top RBE file ("Failed to read RBE/RBS file."), which is something strange, because it is related to the un-scrambling (on which I have no control), not to the Ruby loading. In SU2016, this should not happen (v7.2d was for Sketchup versions < 2014).

            In the Ruby console, could you type the following one-line command:

            Sketchup.require "C:/Users/**User**/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2016/SketchUp/Plugins/Fredo6_!LibFredo6/top_LibFredo6.rbe"

            Note: do not forget to replace < **User**> by your actual username.

            This will try to load the top RBE file. So We can see if you get the message "Failed to read RBE/RBS file.".

            Also, it would help if you could tell me which Windows version you run, and if in 32 or 64 bits.

            Thanks

            Fredo

              Hello Fredo, I did as you asked, in the Ruby console, and got the following message back:
              Sketchup.require "C:/Users/User/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2016/SketchUp/Plugins/Fredo6_!LibFredo6/top_LibFredo6.rbe"

                I suggest you re-install LibFredo6 after cleanup.
                This is strange that you cannot read the RBE

                  What version of SU2016 are you using? Do you have the latest update? There was a bug in the original version that caused some loading errors for some users: https://help.sketchup.com/en/article/141303

                    Hello Fredo, Can you please confirm if 'clean up' means more than deleting the files/folders from 'plugins' folder because I have done this and re-installed approx 7 times now. thanks. Rob

                        Rob,

                        Cleanup means remove both the top file Fredo6_!LibFredo6.rb and folder Fredo6_!LibFredo6.
                        Can you verify that the file top_LibFredo6.rbe is 16.6 KB.

                        The issue you have is very strange because many users have downloaded v7.2d and I guess installed it with no problem.

                            Rob,

                            Something strange.
                            You have AdditionalPluginFolders.rb, but not the subfolder.
                            Is it an old version.
                            Anyway, this is not a correct installation.
                            If you don't use the AdditionalPluginFolders features, then I suggest you delete the file.

                            Fredo

                              Also the .RBX version of that particular file [which seems to be missing its subfolder] is an 'uninstalled' file [i.e. processed using the SketchUcation Toolset's Uninstaller], so something is adrift here, because that should have replaced the original .RB one when processed...

                              PS:
                              @Fredo
                              Should there be a LibTraductor.rb file in the Plugins folder ?

                                NO, LibTraductor.rb is no longer used and should be removed, though LibFredo6 arrange to ignore it if present.

                                  Hello Tig, all files/folders have been deleted each time I have re-installed. Does deleteing them have a different impact to uninstalling?

                                    Hello Fredo, I tried again. Here's my start point:

                                    LibFredo03 2016 11 07.JPG

                                    Then I installed '7.2d' and restarted and got the following message:

                                    LibFredo04 2016 11 07.JPG

                                    and checked the plugins folder:

                                    LibFredo05 2016 11 07.JPG

                                    I also tried un-installing as TIG mentioned and found the .rbx files. Deleted them and re-installed gain, same error.

                                    Regards, Rob

                                      Rob,

                                      I don't know what you can do more. This looks clean, but for whatever reason, the rbe file cannot be read.

                                      So, teh only next steps now are:

                                      1. If you can, install Sketchup 2015. in SU2015, this will be the rbs file which will be read
                                      2. re-install SU2016 from the original source on Sketchup.com .

                                      Fredo

                                        Also remember that SketchUp must be installed properly.
                                        That means selecting the installer's exe icon,
                                        then using the right-click > context-menu > Run as administrator...
                                        Running the installer by double-clicking the installer's exe will install it,
                                        BUT that can often result in unexpected weirdness... that might be the case here.
                                        It is NOT sufficient that you have admin-powers as a user, it must be 'Run as administrator'.

                                        It's not so painful to correct this...

                                        You do NOT need to uninstall SketchUp.

                                        First close SketchUp,
                                        then you find the installer exe [either the existing in Downloads or perhaps a re-download]
                                        and then run its exe as explained above...
                                        When prompted choose to 'Repair'.
                                        Let it run...
                                        This should correct any issues, since it will now be properly installed.

                                        Restart SketchUp to see if that approach has helped...

                                          TIG, Fredo many thanks for your help. Before I read TIG's last response my intention was to uninstall Sketchup and re-install on my admin account. I un-installed, then saw TIG's message before re-installing so was able to follow his instructions exactly for the install. Then installed Libfredo tested, ok, then installed round corners and tested and it all worked on my admin account. I then logged into my user account and still got the errors.....I believe I read somewhere regarding permissions on user accounts but I installed files before so not sure if it is that, I will try to fiddle around with it on the user account. Anyway I can and am using it successfully on my admin account so am happy to do that.
                                          Many thanks to everyone for your time and inclination to help. I look forward to using Fredo's good work and when I have seen the various tools working will surely make a well earned donation.
                                          Hope I didn't waste anyone's time. Regards, Rob
