Fredo Plugin issues

david_h · 25 Jan 2023, 16:01

I have the licensed bundle of Fredo Tools (specifically ROunded Corners etc) However when I activate it, I don't get the icons on the toolbar. IT just shows up blank. This is a new one on me, cuz it seemed to work before. Any thought?

Can you run....

...and paste output here

david_h · 25 Jan 2023, 16:22

I don't see that option on my menu.
hmmm.

Rich O Brien · 25 Jan 2023, 16:33

Therein lies the problem....

Update Sketchucation Tools

ExtensionStore | SketchUcation

3D SketchUp Community for Design and Engineering Professionals.

(sketchucation.com)

Update Libfredo

SketchUp Plugins | PluginStore | SketchUcation

SketchUp Plugin and Extension Store by SketchUcation provides free downloads of hundreds of SketchUp extensions and plugins

(sketchucation.com)

Use the ExtensionStore to update.

checked and rechecked and reinstalled the updates. I had done so before I threw up my hands and cried out into the Sketchup Wilderness.

Still no go. I just think the icons have loaded into a different folder than wehre the actual extension is. When I do the store update it gives me two folder options for auto update and I choosed them both cuz I don't know which one is the goodest.

C:?USers/Name/Appdata/Roaming/sketchup.. . .etc

Or C:/PRogramData/Sketchup etc.

Sketchucation Tools 4.3.0 is the latest.

Your install path should be...

...anything else I'd ignore unless your adept in the dark arts or a glutton for punishment

Well now. . .RoundCorner isn't even loading at all and when I try to reinstall. . .I get an error message.

Here is the info from the window that was requested from this last go around. . .

I thought I had this solved. as this says .. .some of the tools loaded fine but not ROund Corner, and yet I have the licenses.

Could you try with the Sketchucation ExtensionStore.

I don't understand why it fails with the SU Extension Manager.

david_h · 6 Feb 2023, 21:38

trying now. . .but we'll see. Stand by.

Thank you,

]I was able to download from the Extension store. I installed it first on the "AppData>roaming>sketchup...etc." place .

No go. I got a zip error.

Next tried to load it and install to the "C: ProgramFiles>Sketchup. . .etc) place

(Both options were offered)

Neither worked. Even after several starts and restarts. as you see . ..other tools are loading fine.[attachment=0]Capture.JPG[/attachment

david_h · 7 Feb 2023, 19:12

any further thoughts on this? When I install to the AppData.. .etc. folder I get the 'cannot unzip" error message. If I install to a custom plugins folder Round Corner installs but the toolbar is missing on the icons, and with each start up I have to re-install anyway.

Very Frustrating.

thanks for the help in advance.

If you repair your SketchUp install by running the installer.exe via right click > Run as Admin.

See if that restores your permissions to write o the appdata..... folder

Never to this place. That's reserved for special cases.

david_h · 7 Feb 2023, 20:56

Thanks R O'B. I'll give that the ol' college try.
