Fredo, would it be possible for ghosts (at least in global-proxy mode) have separate proxy material (based on initial component name) assigned automatically? Example: A component XXX after switching to ghost (a proxy triangular face, default material) would get FredoGhost_XXX material assigned.
P.S. the goal is to convert components to triangular faces and export them to other programs (Max) where I can scatter objets one object per one triangular face. The specialty of this workflow is the exporter merges everything into one mesh based on material assignment, one mesh per one material
Edit: by mistake I've found workaround! All is needed is to assign some material to upper level of given component - this will paint the proxy (if original proxy is with default material)

Hello!
For some time now, Fredo extensions have been telling me to use the latest version of the Sketchucation Extension Store.
I do. All Fredo extensions are also running in the latest version.
With FredoScale, for example, I close the message and the extension still works.
However, Fredo Ghost no longer reacts at all.
That is, the hint is displayed, then I press OK and then nothing happens.
What can I do?
I have reinstalled FredoGhost and done everything possible but it just won't run anymore.
I am currently still using SketchUp Pro 2021.
Is this a common problem that several users are facing?
If so, can it be fixed?

Many greetings,
Thilo

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.

Hi DaveR! Thanks for your support!
I updated everything and tried a clean install of the plugin but I get the error message i attach... What could it be?

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.

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.
