Fredo Plugins Error

ruralaccent · 13 Mar 2022, 16:46

I'm having an issue with Fredo plugins too, although not entirely the same (although perhaps it's related). I was prompted to update Fredo Lib yesterday (I'd not used sketchup for a few weeks). All seemed to work, then this morning I get a message saying Sketchucation plugin is out of date (even though it's not - it's the latest version) and none of the Fredo plugins that need a licence will work. I have paid licences for all Fredo plugins, but none of the paid ones now work because they're all demanding the latest Sketchucation plugin, even though that is installed. Is this related or a seperate issue?

The latest version of the SketchUcation toolset is here...
https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=SketchUcationTools
Get it from the PluginStore [linked].
It contains the newest licensing software, needed by many of Fredo's extensions.
Restart SketchUp after installing it... then report back...

Thanks all - it seemed that not having the latest sketchucation toolset was my issue. Updated now and all fredo's plugins now seem to be working as intended, thanks for the help!

TIG is right. You need to download the latest version of the SKU. This is how Fredo's plugins work.

Similar problem to others here with Fredo Plugins - All licensed up (glad Fredo is getting some dough!)

Symptoms:
Get the "trial license expired" message - go to validate - navigate to where I stored my license files- The License files are invisible.(though actually there)
So ...no validation is possible...

The Answers:
Yes I searched before asking.
Yes - I had to repair my SU install after a nasty fight with Vray's latest version.
Yes- IIRC everything worked before that though Im not 100% sure.

Followed several similar threads with various fixes suggested there-
So far I tried:
Deleting the C:/user data fredo folder,
Uninstalling Sketchucation tools.
Reinstalling Sketchucation Tools to latest
Ran Fredo Updater - everything green and "up to date"

Obviously a path or permissions issue somewhere....checker can't/won't/doesn't see the licenses -
any help on getting it pointed correctly?

Fear we're headed to a "gut it/scorched earth" situation here...a lengthy process

Thanks for all you do!

The license won't show if it is not the correct name.

If you set All Files what do you see?

Thank you for your assistance:
As usual- the problem was down to user error.
I became confused by a similarly named but now deprecated older plug in.
In process of creating detailed screen shots documenting the loop I was in...
I finally realized my mistake.
you see my Skethucation friends....apparently I'm afflicted with what they call, in todays vernacular, "the big dumb"

But, I draw well, and have good grooming habits..so I've got that going for me which is nice....

Anyway...please disregard my prior post. All is well.
The plugins now function as expected - (as they will do when installed correctly and not fighting with other plug ins)
I couldn't be happier.
Once again thanks I'm very grateful for the prompt support offered by this forum.
you guys are great.

You'll fit right in around here with those credentials

Not to bring this error up once again in 2023, but I'm experiencing it as well with SU 2021, FredoGhost v2.0a, FredoLib 13.7b, and Sketchucation Toolset v4.3.

After getting the error and restarting SU, the toolbar appears but when trying to open the Studio tool or activating the other limited tools that are available with the trial version, nothing happens, no messages or anything.

Disabled all plugins including Sketchucation v4.3 but except for Fredolib 13.7bb.

Uninstalled FredoGhost.

Started up SU 2021 - installed FredoGhost - got the regular Restart SU message.

Restart SU 2021.

FredoGhost toolbar appears - click on Studio tool and the Studio window opens as it should = baseline.

Open Extension Manager - one by one enabling plugins followed immediately by clicking on the Studio tool.

Enabled Sketchucation v4.3 - click FredoGhost Studio tool - no Studio window opens.

Immed. disable Sketchucation v4.3 - click on FredoGhost Studio tool - no Studio window opens.

Uninstalled FredoGhost.

Started up SU 2021 - installed FredoGhost - got the regular Restart SU message.

Restart SU 2021.

FredoGhost toolbar appears - click on Studio tool and the Studio window opens as it should.

I continued through the list of plugins to see if any others prevented FredoGhost Studio from opening, all good except for Sketchucation is still disabled. I'll leave it disabled for now as I trial Ghost and hopefully if all works well, I will get that Ghost license and a new version Sketchucation will be released that doesn't cause this conflict.

Before launching FredoGHost, could you open the Ruby Console and check if there are errors.

I am getting a similar error on the tools on surface plug in. I uninstalled all plugins and started fresh with the latest libfredo and tools on surface plug in so that no others would interfere. Still the same error. Other plugins from fredo 6 are working correctly.

using 2022. the error messages are attached.

Thanks.

Hello everybody!. I'm having some issues trying to round some corners and edges. This is the output:

Difficult to tell without seeing the model.
It is likely related to an offset which is too large compared with the size of the edges you try to perform the rounding on.

please help! Freddo asks me to validate licenses again when he had previously validated them and they worked correctly. Now when I try to validate the licences again I get this error...

Error in the License Validation
Request to Sketchucation: ERROR AOC
Computer name mismatch - It is advised to erase the Signature file and revalidate
Do you want to open the folder containing the Signature file?
