      I purchased the plugin -
      thank you for making it.

      I really want to use it on a very large model I am building, but when I click on the Ghost Studio icon, nothing happens.

      I now have the same problem with the FredoTools launcher and other launchers you made.

      Your thoughts?

        Hi! I have to report a strange behaviour: fredoghost plugin doesn't work properly, but this seem to be a random behaviour (sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't) and it doesn't seem to be related to "run as administrator's" permissions.

        At launch, in the consolle I get the following error:

        Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method advanced_features?' for nil:NilClass> c:/users/filippo scarso/appdata/roaming/sketchup/sketchup 2022/sketchup/plugins/fredo6_fredoghost/fredoghosttool.rbe:2622:in top_process'

          First update the Sketchucation Tool. The current version is 4.2.9 (looks like you've missed a few updates) and make sure LibFredo6 is also up to date.

                Before I purchase, I have one question. Can you use the styles with FredoGhost like normal SketchUp styles and save scenes with differing styles? I have been using the outdated Grayscale Plugin for years in my 2D elevations but have to save a separate file to use in Layout. If I can "white out" the textures in my model, save it as a scene, and then have my perspectives in full color in other scenes, that would be awesome.

                Super cool plugin! Fingers crossed! Thanks!

                  Yes. It is possible and it is awesome.

                  What version of SketchUp are you using? Here your profile says 2016 and at the other place, 2019.

                    I recently used the FredoGhost free trial and was very happy with it as a performance/productivity enhancing plugin. My free trial ran out and I purchased a perpetual license and followed the installation instructions. However, when I go to activate my license and select the file provided, it does not work and I am given an error message saying "Error in the License Validation Request to Sketchucation: ERROR_F05".

                    I'm looking for some help in getting this to work after paying for the product.

                    I've attached a screenshot of the error message and the file that was downloaded and I am selecting.

                    error message

                    Please help so I can continue to work on files where I have created ghost objects already.

                    Thank you

                          It looks like there's a write permission preventing you from saving your activation details to our folder. This happens when SketchUp is installed without the correct permissions.

                          To fix it you'll need the sketchup installer. Download it and then right click > Run as Admin and pick repair.

                          Try activating your license file as per https://downloads.sketchucation.com/licensing/SCFLicense-Instructions_to_Users.pdf

                            Thank you for the help, but I ran the installation file as admin and selected repair. No change, the same error message occurs.I also see that my other lib fredo plugins are requiring paid subscription and I don't want this to happen for the rest of them but do use them often. I don't want to pay for another plugin just to have it not work. Any other ideas?

                              Correction: Thank you very much for your assistance. It seems I wrote the last reply hastily. I just needed to restart my computer. The activation worked after restart. Thank you again for your assistance.

                                No probs. Fredo's extensions are rather robust and feature rich so restarting SketchUp is recommended before you can guarantee a proper install.
