      What an awesome tool! Works well, but I ran into an unexpected problem.

      What works well? When I draw brand new curves in an empty/new workspace.

      What doesn't work (for me)? When I try to copy/trace a curve. It won't allow me to even add a point on top of an image. I would load a drawing, and I want to trace the curves on it, but the tool won't allow me even moving into the bounds of the loaded image. The cursor gets stuck on the boundary between the "open space" and the loaded image...

      Any ideas?

        Share a SketchUp model file in which this happens so we can see what you are working with and trying to accomplish.

          Hi Fredo,
          I cannot reply directly to you, so here goes...

          It looks like your fix worked! I only did some rudimentary testing, but the initial issue doesn't exist anymore. This is great news, thank you so much for such a quick response! MUCH appreciated!

            There was a bug in FredoSpline when drawing over an image.

            This should be fixed with LibFredo6 v13.3a.

              Hi there

              I hope this is the right place to post this, apologies if it isn't, and many thanks in advance for any help that can be afforded to me.

              I have SketchUp 2022 installed (22.0.354 64-bit), along with FredoSpline 2.3a and LibFredo6 13.4a.

              For some reason when I try to use FredoSpline, nothing happens, none of the buttons do anything. Any ideas? I've attached a gif that shows what I mean.

              Many thanks.

              Paul

                I would recommend that you upgrade to LibFredo6 v13.5a. There was apparently a bug in v13.4 that prevented my plugins to work in some situations.

                  Fredo, I really miss ability to select multiple desired vertices on multiple splines and change their properties at once (radius in case of polycornerarc for example). Is it implementable?

                    Yu can act on several control points of one spline curve, but not on several curves. The edition is by curve. It would complex and prone to side-effects to edit multiple curves at the same time.

                      Thanks for info I didn't know it's possible to select several points with control key pressed.
                      And is it possible to add selecting with crossing window?

                      Too bad.. it's very limitating

                          I am having difficulty accessing the "Instructor window accessible from within the extension" refenced in YouTube and SkechUcation for FedoSpline version 2.4. Is this a add-in or am I missing something?

                                Make sure the Sketchucation Tool is also up to date and then go into Tools>Fredo6 Collection>FredoSpline>License and release seats.

                                What version of SketchUp are you actually using? Your profile indicates a version that has never existed.

                                  As said in a PM I sent you, you need to release at least one seat. You have 3 taken currently.

                                    I've been using it on one of my own computers since I purchased the license, but every time I update it, it always tells me I need to activate it. After this update , it doesn't work, what am I doing wrong?

                                      Again, what version of SketchUp are you using? There is no 2020 Free/Make version.

                                      Did you correctly install whatever version you are using? On Windows that requires right clicking on the download installer and selecting Run as administrator. If you didn't do that Windows security can prevent required files from being written. Quit SketchUp, find the SketchUp installer, right click on it, choose Run as administrator, and when it is presented, choose Repair.

                                            Fredo, In SU 2023, latest lib and FredoSpline..
                                            I have problems with Convert command inside context it olny shows preview but doesn't allow to convert and exit. It works as expected if the same geometry is placed out of context. I PM you some example. Could you fix it please?
                                            Yet another problem (not new one): Curves from FredoSpline can't serve as paths for Profile Builder Assemblies (unfortunately they need to be exploded), but do work with PB profiles.
