[Plugin Library] LibFredo6 - v15.4a - 13 May 25

Ski_Bird · 22 Mar 2021, 23:57

Hello,

I may have found a bug in your DrawAlong tool. I have a JPG image that I'm adding countours to. I'm drawing them in the negative direction or below the image. When I type 6' .8", it draws a line not on the blue axis and at an angle towards the corner of the image. Trying to narrow down the error, 6' 1.8" works fine as does 6' 0.8". Very minor and easy to workaround but thought I'd share.

Amazing work!

I did not know that 6' .8" would be valid. Surprises everyday with these imperial units...!
I will fix that in a next release.

If you type 6'.8 and hit Enter or type 6'.8" and hit Enter you'll get a line that is 72.8 inches long. It's correct and expected behavior as far as I am seeing here. Fredo, I don't see that any change is needed.

Units set to decimal inches to show the .8.

Looking for help..!? When loading any Fredo plugin, I can not see the dialog box(s).

Could you check the version of LibFredo6 you have installed.

Did you play with FredoTools ColorPaint?

LibFredo6
11.6a
23 Jan 21

ColorPaint will not open.

How did you install LibFredo6?

Copying files?
Sketchup Extension manager from a rbz
Sketchucation ExtensionStore?

It seems one file is altered.

tlehman914 · 2 Apr 2021, 19:59

I am still not able to use most all of the Fredo extensions. I have removed ALL Fredo plugins and reinstalled LibFredo6 v11.6a from SketchUcation PluginStore and still get the following error:

I don't know what happened during the installation, but there is clearly a problem in a few files which lost their UTF8 encoding.

Could you try the following

Open the Ruby Console
copy the following command in red and type Enter:
UI.openURL LibFredo6.path + '/Ancillary'
This will open a subfolder of LibFredo6
Delete the file Colors_RAL_classic.txt
restart Sketchup to see if this improves the situation
Otherwise, delete all files with names beginning with Colors_ and extension txt.

Then restart Sketchup to see if this improves the situation.

I did try to copy the following command in red and type Enter:
UI.openURL LibFredo6.path + '/Ancillary'

Result:

UI.openURL LibFredo6.path + '/Ancillary'
false

I did however, go to that folder in 'Finder' and Delete the file Colors_RAL_classic.txt - restarted and no change.
I then deleted all files with names beginning with Colors_ and extension txt. - restarted and tried to use the only PlugIn installed: ToolsOnSurface - result:

Just type in the Ruby console:

Nothing is left in the directory...?

No change after typing the above.

Did you define a custom color file?

If so, do you remember where you save it?

In the Ruby Console, could you type

Traductor::Marshall.new.decode(Traductor::Registry.load "Fredo6_ColorFan_Custom")

This should be the list of custom color files.

In ColorPaint, you are supposed to load only plain text file (tabular value of colors: name, R, G, B), not images or material.

Understood. I didn't even know that I had done that...!? Thanks again!

Sketchup Extension manager from a rbz

Sketchucation ExtensionStore?

It seems one file is altered.

Tried all 3 with full uninstalls in between each. Sadly no luck.

Success! Running a repair on the sketchup installation seemed to fix it!

Bonjour à tous,

Je viens d'installer l'extension FredoTools via le gestionnaire d'extension,
Elle apparait bien dans mon gestionnaire d'extension mais nul part ailleurs ?
Je ne peut donc pas l'utiliser.

Il ya t-il une raison ou une manip particulière à effectuer ?

Je suis sur SketchUp 21pro

Merci d'avance

TIG · 9 Apr 2021, 14:41

Have you also installed LibFredo ?
Have you restarted SketchUp ?
Have you looked in the Tools menu's submenus ?

Avez-vous également installé LibFredo?
Avez-vous redémarré SketchUp?
Avez-vous regardé dans les sous-menus du menu Outils [Tools]?

martychristoffel · 17 Apr 2021, 00:56

I'm seeing some UI problems, specifically buttons at the bottom of various dialog boxes being completely washed out. I'm on MacOS Big Sur.

I don't have this problem in other applications, only here in SketchUp and with these dialog box buttons.
Any thoughts? Is it a SketchUp thing, an extension thing, or an OS thing?

Please see image examples.

Thanks.
