What is your "plugins location"? What version of SketchUp are you using? Please complete your profile.
Plugin folder:
c:\Users\Chris\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2016\SketchUp\Plugins
So you can see the Sketchup version is 2016.
The permissions on the ../Appdata/.. tree of directories is 'Full Control' for 3 users:
SYSTEM
Chris (me - member of Users and Administrators)
AdministratorsSo I can't imagine that Sketchup should have any problems with accessing the plugins folder - it never has in the past 4 years & it's running on the same PC for all that time.
I'll try applying the updated build Fredo mentions below.
Thanks for all the suggestions.
Update:
Installing the updated plugin (via sketchucation Plugin Store extension) still results in the dialog "Wrong installation..." per my previous reply. I can see the Fredo6_!LibFredo6 folder and associated Fredo6_!LibFredo6.rb file is present in the plugins directory.@Fredo, I have nothing in Appdata/local/temp with "Fredo" in it's name but cleared all anyway with no difference in result. BTW, can you pls explain how to get the error log example quoted in your reply?
Thx.

I think I found the issue: The line below in Fredo6_!LibFredo6.rb
file_encrypted = (Sketchup.version.to_i >= 16) ? folder + ".rbe" ; folder + ".rbs"selects the .rbe file which doesn't exist - the .rbs file does. Changing the version test to >=17 solved the problem.
Thanks everyone for your attention to the issue.

FWIW, there's also a version test in Fredo6_RoundCorner.rb (v3.3a):
if Sketchup.version.to_i < 16that should be changed to '<= 16'...
@Fredo FYI
I tried installing FredoCorner v1.8b which lists the only dependency as LibFredo6 9.1b (archive legacy ver I have installed is 9.5k) but it complains that SU2017 or newer is required. The 'More Info' page says it should work for SU2016 and above...Cheers,
Chris. -

Hi!
Is it possible with Report On Areas to auto-refresh calculation when selection is changed? -

So, an automatic recalculation on any change of a selection could be counterproductive, as you may want to select several objects in a row.
That's why currently ReportArea just highlight the Refresh button in Red when a change of selection takes place.

Still, I think this could be an option. Not a default one, but an available setting. I personally use this tool for low number of faces and with fast computer. Auto-recalculation would not be counterproductive for me. But it's just a suggestion

I just downloaded Fredotools-v4.ob-06Dec20 to be used with Sketchup Pro 2021. I have the latest Windows 10 PC. I open the Fredotools download and I get this message. "This does not appear to be a Sketch model." I get the message with Sketchup 2021 open and unopened. DOES Fredotools-v4.ob WORK IN 2021 SKETCHUP?

You don't open extensions in SketchUp with File>Open. Instead, go to the Window menu, click on Extension Manager and then the Install Extension button. Navigate to where you saved the extension file, select it, and choose Open. Also make sure you download and install the LibFredo6 file as well.
Better would be to go to Resources at the top of this page and download the Sketchucation Plugin Store tool. Install that as above and then use it to search for and install Fredo6's extensions and others. If you do that the installation is automatically done correctly and you'll be able to see when there are updates to extensions.
And yes, Fredotools works just fine in SketchUp 2021.

I love FredoTools, especially Thru Paint. I have come across an issue that may be know or not. I didn't feel like going through 14 pages to see.
I noticed that when using TP, if you shift to pan the tool changes to the picker tool not the paint tool. If I shift pan again it goes back to the paint tool. Is this something that can be fixed?
SU pro 2020
FredoTools 4.1a
LibFredo6 11.8a -
Thanks for catching this problem. Definitely a bug which needs to be fixed.

Hi. The "Solid volume" is very useful in my job, thanks a lot! A great add to it would be a mass calculator. Just an input for material density and the solid mass would be seen; or a even better if a tiny sheet to save some own densities. I have not found any plugins for easy mass reporting. Cheers!

"SUSolid.com" plugin works great for weights. You can input any materials you like.
