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

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.

TIG · 2 Jan 2021, 16:59

Here's what my current Extension Manager lists in v2019...

If yours shows something else [and you've installed the latest versions] then it's broken...

Have you tried the "Repair" idea ?
The Lib doesn't appear, except as a 'helper' - the FredoTools is in Tools submenu and a Toolbar of the same name...

Aiden900 · 2 Jan 2021, 17:18

Hello TIG,

I've tried repair in administrator mode, Yes i am signed into my windows account as a genuine user. I tried installing the extension again from the beginning by downloading them again and it still not working, Maybe i could be doing something wrong.. It's a suggestion so tell me if it's okay for you. How about you just make a zip file of the Libfredo 6 Rbz file with fredo scale the max and share with me. And i'll let you know if it works by sharing a screenshot. ?

TIG · 2 Jan 2021, 17:40

Did you download the Fredo extensions/lib from the SketchUcation PluginStore ?

Retry, using these links...
https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=LibFredo6
https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=FredoScale
https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=FredoTools

Install them all using Extension Manager > Install, restart SketchUp, look at the menus, toolbars and Extension Manager listings... any better ?

Dave R · 2 Jan 2021, 17:48

Before you install the current version of these extensions, go to the Plugins folder and delete all related files.

Also please update your profile. It says you are using SU2016.

Aiden900 · 2 Jan 2021, 20:48

Hello , I gave it a go and did everything as you said. it still didn't work. I keep on getting the message to install Librefredo 6.9 or higher. Ran the setup and even repaired the file but it still didn't help. Here's is the screen shot of the version that it's showing me

TIG · 2 Jan 2021, 22:24

Your LibFredo files' installation is obviously FUBAR...

Delete all files and subfolders in your Plugins folder which relate to LibFredo [i.e. Fredo6_!LibFredo6.rb file and Fredo6_!LibFredo6 subfolder and its contents ], then restart SketchUp and install the latest LibFredo RBZ as I linked...

Fredo might be able to advise on very old legacy files messing things up - but you would have to have copied those over from a much older set up...

Aiden900 · 13 Jan 2021, 00:45

hello, Well i've tried almost everything to fix, all other extensions work. but this is the only extension that's not working at all, it's not appearing in the tools bar neither in the extensions options, i am attaching screenshot just to show you that i have installed the latest version as you linked above.

It is not an extension in itself. It is a library required by Fredo's extensions.

Aiden900 · 13 Jan 2021, 23:07

Yes sir, I know that but it's not being show in extensions window as well.. it just aint there at all. And i have no idea what to do to fix. I have tried every possible way trying to somehow fix this thing. if someone wants to help me by connecting to team viewer or anything like that please please do.

Aiden

You just need to install LibFredo6 (it seems to be missing in your current setup).

Download the RBZ at the LibFredo6 Plugin Page
Go to the Extension Manager of Sketchup
Install LibFredo6 from the LibFredo6 RBZ (button 'Install Extension')

Once done, the other plugins, FredoScale and FredoTools will work.

Aiden900 · 14 Jan 2021, 22:02

OK, Just to be clear and as i am sort of telling the same thing again and again. I've never had issues installing extensions, i know how easy the process is, but it just ain't seem to be working so guess what, i am actually going to be pasting the error that i am getting maybe that way you'll be able to see what the fault is as i am not that expert. And you shall find the attachment of my extensions manager again.

Go back to TIG's post when he wrote the following:

Do that and repair the installation of SketchUp.

Aiden900 · 14 Jan 2021, 22:28

Tried that a million times, I even installed sketchup all over again just to see if that would help, still nothing. it's showing me the error. I even deleted my plugin folder, and tried installing only fredo tools still nothing comes up
