[Plugin][$] FredoCorner - v2.7a - 31 Mar 24

fredo6 · 19 Feb 2021, 18:15

In the main post about Sketchucation License, there is a link to a PDF explaining the whole process (in English).

If you have been able to post here in this forum, it means you are already registered on Sketchucation (and I assume you know how to do it, so you can explain it in Russian).

For the license of FredoCorner,

1 - In Sketchup just go to menu Tools > Fredo6 Collection > FredoCorner > License...

2 - In the Licensing dialog box, click on the 'Obtain License Button'.

3 - You are redirected to Sketchucation.com to purchase the license

4 - Once done, you receive an email with the purchased license file attached. Save it on your computer in a safe place.

5 - To activate the license, go to the same licensing dialog and click on 'Validate License'

6 - Browse and select the purchased license file which was sent to you by email.

7 - This is done.

re: seat limit and licenses

God day, I am The LEGO companies Sketchup admin and wonder would like to include the latest Fredocorner release to our plugin collection.

The company scripts a SU package with plugins included, Sketchucation should not be part of the basic package as most users won't use the Sketchucation plugins and it adds a level of complexity. Some users might use FredoCorner, most not. (maybe 5 -15 users)

I wonder how to best approach the licensing issue as it will be hard administer individual seats / usage. Would that mean I need to install the SUcation plugin and seat license for the users that actually need Fredo corner? I'm also worried about budget for individual seats run up compared to the SU budget. They might ask me to find an alternative if the setup is too complex/time consuming.

Will there be something like a studio license so I can avoid individual seats or floating licenses?

Feel free to PM me, looking forward to hearing from you

Loving this plugin but my trial has expired and I can't buy the license...any tips?
I have tried uninstalling , restarting , downloading again but of course it remembers the trial version had expired...all I get is this when I click on 'manage license'.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Could you reinstall the Sketchucation Tools v4.0.0.e.

There must be something wrong in its current installation (most likely out of date).

Please advise if it does not solve the problem.

mwkinley · 9 Mar 2021, 14:46

Fixed, thankyou Fredo.
I will buy the license now!

Regards

I am getting Ruby error when I try to round corners.

Can you review the files attached and tell me if it is possible?

The JPG shows the parameters that I need

The errors comes from the rounding of the upper part and the large offset.

Currently FredoCorner does not round edges when one of the edge has a length smaller than the offset.

So, it works with an offset of 2'', but not beyond.

I am planning to evolve the algorithm to overcome this limitation, but this is quite complex. So, not for an immediate release...

Fredo

PS: RoundCorner does not do a better job

Yes I did see success with 2", and I did try RoundCorner
Thanks for your quick response and all your great plugins

I am getting a Ruby console error when I try to round these corners. Can you tell me what is wrong?

-Never mind. I found a way around it.

Depending on the model, FredoCorner may get into error.

So the best would be to PM me or post the model so that I have a look.

Fredo

PS: This has nothing to do with the license. The error is in the algorithm.

Brickokermis · 1 Apr 2021, 09:43

Like many people around the world, I was surprised that Fredo plugins went from free to paid. This is absurd!

Having plugins that have been free for decades and that are quietly going from free to paid, I don't know what quality could I give to this maneuver ...

Yesterday evening I saw, in an instant, the error message indicating "trial version finished", I thought it was April Fool's Day a little too fresh, but not when I got to the download page that it was not my astonishment when I saw that it was paying, whereas it was free just before. it's a very, very stupid operating system!

I have absolutely nothing against people who are looking for a return on investment. But the way to do it is not possible!
Inform people, take opinions, etc.
Especially that, 15 days ago when I updated I did not see that it was paid, since it is not displayed on the list of the plug-in store.

Another thing, buying it will not be a problem for me, if I have to I would buy it. But not individually, at 22 € / plug-in it's very, if not too expensive.
Make a pack of all plugins, or in this case lower the price from 10 to ~ 12 € / plug-in

22 € x (number of plugins) = too expensive.
Sketchup is starting to take the path of software that is losing value, already that the license is very expensive, if even the plug-ins are not affordable, Sketchup is losing more and more credibility, and that I have read on hundreds of forums around the world about the Fredo plug-in which switched to the Pay system

Do not forget, behind there is Blender much more efficient, Open Source, with a more family interface that allows you to learn faster than before. At this speed it's soon the end of Sketchup

Dave R · 1 Apr 2021, 16:35

Fredo didn't just quietly spring this change on the world yesterday. It was announced months ago that some of his extensions would be changing to requiring paid licenses. It's a one time license fee for each extension and includes the updates as they come along. You aren't being forced to purchase the license for FredoCorner. You can choose to use RoundCorner instead. There's still no charge for that one.

rv1974 · 1 Apr 2021, 19:34

@Brickokermis: 22€ per plugin is not too cheap, but lets suppose you used some of (now commercial) Fredeo plugins for 10 years in the past and will continue to use it for additional 10 years in the future; this is approx 1€/year. Just think about it.
P.S. I'd agree though that bundle would be much more user-friendly format.

grigorescustelian · 5 Apr 2021, 05:13

It used to be free... At least let us use our old versions, why do you have to make them expire?

You can still use RoundCorner without paying for it.
