#Encoding:CP949
a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.force_encoding("UTF-8")
C:\Users\￈ﾫ﾿￬ﾺ￳\AppData\Local
a.encoding.inspect
#Encoding:UTF-8

This is what I got

Then, can you try the following commands

a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.force_encoding("UTF-8").gsub(/\\/, "/")

a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.force_encoding("UTF-8").gsub("\\", "/")

and then this command

LibFredo6.get_dir_from_ENV "LOCALAPPDATA"

but still same errors occur

@manoamo

Thank you. Very useful.

I think this is a bug in the core ruby engine.

I'll see what I can do in order to overcome the problem.

@manoamo

Could you try

ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.encode("UTF-8").gsub(/\\/, "/")

Thanks

Fredo

manoamo · 27 Nov 2020, 15:12

I tried the last typing but I failed again
I typed the codes in this sequence

ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].encoding.inspect
a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.force_encoding("UTF-8")
a.encoding.inspect

a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.force_encoding("UTF-8").gsub(/\/, "/")
a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.force_encoding("UTF-8").gsub("\", "/")
ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.encode("UTF-8").gsub(/\/, "/")

LibFredo6.get_dir_from_ENV "LOCALAPPDATA"

Thanks

fredo6 · 27 Nov 2020, 15:19

@manoamo

Could you tell me what is the erroryou get with this statement

ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.encode("UTF-8").gsub(/\\/, "/")

manoamo · 27 Nov 2020, 15:24

This is my ruby console

ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].encoding.inspect
#Encoding:CP949
a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.force_encoding("UTF-8")

C:\Users\￈ﾫ﾿￬ﾺ￳\AppData\Local

fredo6 · 27 Nov 2020, 15:40

Ok. Thanks I think we progress.

Can you try this statement (only this one)

File.directory? ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.encode("UTF-8").gsub(/\\/, "/")

if there is an error, can you try this one

File.directory? ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.encode("UTF-8").gsub("\\", "/")

Many thanks

Fredo

manoamo · 27 Nov 2020, 15:45

Good to hear!

These are what I got back

First,

File.directory? ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.encode("UTF-8").gsub(/\/, "/")

true

Second,

File.directory? ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.encode("UTF-8").gsub("\", "/")
true

fredo6 · 27 Nov 2020, 15:49

OK. Thanks.

I will publish a fix and it should hopefully work for you.

I have your latest version as of 02 december 2020 of libFredo6. I have SketchupPRO 2021.
I believe I have followed your instructions to load libFredo6 and Curvizard v2.4b.
There is libFredo6 under Window, but no Curvizard under Extensions. I have restarted (several times).
Any Ideas?
Thank you
rj

No matter how many times you restart SketchUp, Curvizard isn't supposed to show up under Extensions. It shows up in Tools>Fredo6 Collection. Or you can turn on its toolbar button under View>Toolbars.

Aiden900 · 2 Jan 2021, 02:58

Hello fredo, Hope you're fine, I have tried everything in order to make the fredo tools work and it still not workingm the tool bare's aren't even showing up. I even uninstalled and installed sketchup 2019 pro, installed the extensions several times but still no fix, could you or someone please help me out.

Kind regards

@Aiden900

A few things to consider...

Did you install SketchUp correctly ?
You can repair it and avoid a full re-installation...
While you are logged into Windows as your normal user account, ensure SketchUp is closed.
Find the v2019 installer exe file - usually in your Downloads folder ?
Select its icon, right-click > context-menu > "Run as administrator"
When prompted choose "Repair"...
After it completes restart SketchUp and retest...

I assume you are installing from the RBZ using the Extension Manager > Install... button ??

Fredo's extensions [almost all] need his latest LibFredo RBZ installing - available separately from the PluginStrore.
Have you downloaded and installed that too ?
On its own a Lib does nothing - but it adds vital support for his other extensions...
So have you downloaded and installed the latest Fredo Tools from the PluginStore ?

Are you aware where the Fredo Tools menu is ? [i.e. under Tools]
The FredoTools toolbar button might need activating in your View > Toolbars... dialog's list ?

When clicked that toolbar button opens a second dialog listing many of Fredo's tools - click on the name of one of them and it launches...
Are the two expected Fredo entries listed in the Extension Manager dialog ?
Are they activated in the listing ?

Just checking, libfredo doesn't do anything on it's own. It is a helper folder for various Fredo extensions.
So installing just LibFredo does nothing.

Aiden900 · 2 Jan 2021, 16:04

Hello TIG, I've been using Fredo for almost all my projects and work and it was working fine, but i had to get a newer version of Sketchup 2019 pro so i got that and yes i've followed the tutorial and everything but still nothing. Also one thing i've noticed is that when i install the extension from the extension manager specially Libfredo 6 and check the version it still says 1.0. I am signed into trimble and stuff and other extensions are working fine except for all the plugin related to Libefredo, like scel corner rounds etc. I've checked under the tools bar and i cannot find the fredo or Lib at all.

If you would like to directly contact me you can. Just let me know what would be suitable.
