      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... 😲

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

              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.

                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:

                  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...

                  Do that and repair the installation of SketchUp.

                      Installing just Fredo's Tools on its own won't work !

                      Almost all of Fredo's Extensions will also need his latest LibFredo installing.

                      Download that Lib's RBZ, install it and restart SketchUp...

                      After that Fredo's Tools and the vital LibFredo should appear in the Extension Manager list ??

                        TIG, If you check the screen shot above, I've install the tools and the Libfredo6 latest version from the website. I've done it. and it's still not appearing and yet it shows me errors.

                        See i've been struggling with this since i dont know weeks, and i really do appreciate everyone on this page trying to help me out. but it's just not working at all. So If it's possible for anyone of you to help me through teamviwer or skype or anything, please please please let me know.

                        I've tried all the steps above, everything. even i have tried download the RBZ file again and installing them but it just wouldn't appear or work.

                        I am dropping my email below, please if any of you would be kind enough to assist me please do.

                        Kind Regards

                          Your statement isn't logical.
                          If your Plugins folder were empty then the Extension Manager would show only some 'Shipped-Extensions' which always load.
                          If You install Fredo Tools it does nothing without having LibFredo installed.
                          You screen shots don't show us this...

                          Your earlier screen shot of the Extension Manager showed LibFredo v1.0 - this is clearly wrong...

                          Let's step back a bit...
                          Can you please post the following results...
                          Use the Ruby Console to type or copy/paste the following, individually...

                          SCF::PLUGINS

                          Sketchup.find_support_file('Plugins')

                          Sketchup.temp_dir

                          These might help us narrow in on some OS issues ??

                              And yeah even after installing the plugin from your preferred links, for some reason it still shows version 1.0 which is quite odd.. 😞 😞

                                This is indeed very strange !
                                The paths that you tested are all as expected...

                                I trust that you emptied your Plugins folder of anything 'Fredo' related in the recent re-setting ?
                                Before reinstalling the Fredo Lib and Extensions...

                                Can you try this last test for me...
                                Find the folder named:
                                C:\ProgramData\SketchUp\SketchUp 2019\SketchUp
                                Is there a \Plugins subfolder in it ?
                                If so, then look at its contents - are there any old Fredo files incorrectly installed in there ?
                                If so delete them and restart SketchUp and see if that has helped

                                Fredo needs to chip in here - I'm running out of ideas !

                                  The problem seems to come from the infamous "Failed to read RBE/RBS file".

                                  Usually, this is fixed with a full reinstallation of Sketchup, using 'Run as Administrator' on the Install executable.

                                    The issue is widespread, not just with Fredo tools / lib but also relates to the su_ 'shipped-extensions' rbe files, which SketchUp copies into the User's Plugins folder as needed...
                                    Looks like there's a major file / folder read/write problem with permissions - usually fixed by installing SketchUp 'properly' using 'Run as administrator'...

                                    Can you check the security permissions for your User's Plugins folder...

                                    C:/Users/Afara/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2019/SketchUp/Plugins

                                    Select the Plugins folder's icon, right-click > context-menu > Properties > Security tab > Edit

                                    There might be several 'users' listed.
                                    Go through the list and under the Allow column give 'Full control' to each one in turn [i.e. all permissions should appear ticked, except 'special permissions']
                                    If you are resetting any permissions allow the changes to cascade through all nested files and subfolders...
                                    None of the entries under the Deny column should be ticked at all.

                                        Hello, I've done what you've asked as well, i am also posting a screenshot.. Everything seems to fine there. and as Tig also uploaded a new RBZ file as i can see below. It's still not installing the RBZ. I mean when i click on install extension it doesn't show up in the extension manager list

                                          Dear TIG and Fredo, Really do appreciate your effort and energy that you've put here in order to help me regarding this particular Plugin. I have no other choice but to give up now and choose the long road ahead for my particular project. hopefully in the midst i hope it somehow fixes. I'll be here waiting for your response. If you require any other further proofs or anything regarding what i should do please don't hesitate to ask.

                                            Maybe you should uninstall Sketchup fully.

                                            Then reinstall, with right click "Run as Administrator' on the installation executable.
