Do you think this bug potentially could lead to the Drape tool stop working inside context?

It is fairly possible... SandBox is an extension and can be affected the same way as other plugins. The bug introduced in SU2023 could affect many plugins actually.
Just open the Ruby Console when you play with the Drape Tool. if you see traces with erase_entities, then it is the same problem. Fortunately, there is a workaround and I guess the Sketchup team should fix it without waiting for the next version of SU2023.

Another thing.. Grouping curves generated with FS turn them into regular dumb curves (for example it's not possible to edit the filets anymore). Is it possible to preserve FredoSpline properties inside group?

Do you have an example of that. I am not sure I understand.

Never mind its not an issue anymore in present version. sorry for bothering

The issue was signaled during the Beta testing but was not fixed in the release (among other issues and bugs).

I'd love to see those reports, was it opened discussion?

rv1974

Well I tested the latest FredoSpline in v2023 unfortunately almost everything is broken (in context): Edit, Swap etc. This is the worst SU release ever since v2 . Tons of crashes on start and during all sorts of procedures. Will have to get back to v2022 till they'd sort it out

I'm not having any crashes of SU2023 at all. It's been very stable for me.

Hi Fredo..
i just updated the libfredo and fredo spline now and since then i am unable to open the quick launchers of Fredo spline, joint push pull, fredo scale and the check fredo6 plugins for update menu. attaching the error in the rubby console below.

they published a new build - Swap Curves and Sandbox's Drape (not yours, I know) still don't work in context.
Will have to skip this version too

hello. I'm a Korean user who uses Fredo's products usefully.
A little while ago, I purchased a license for 'fredo spline' and pressed the 'Download' button,
but the result is a white screen with only the text below.

/pluginrepo/rbz/

/var/www/html/pluginrepo/rbz/FredoSpline.rbz
File does not exist. Make sure you specified correct file name.

If anybody know a solution, please send 'e-mail' to help. Thank you.

Question

I paid for a license, however my plugin keeps telling me it doesnt work due to the fact that i have not the latest version of it. I keep on installing v 2.5 over and over but it keeps sending me the same message. It used to work perfectly in an older version. I cannot seem to fix the issue.

Any thoughts or people experiencing the same issue?

Do you have the current version of LibFredo6 installed? Also the current version of the Sketchucation ExtensionStore? Both of those are required. Share a screen shot of the error message you're getting.

Are you still using SketchUp 2015 Pro as indicated in your forum profile?

Fredo, is it possible to implement a general weight setting in "convert curves" and "edit curves" commands please?
I get used to create all sorts of fredo curves out of faces or chains of straight edges and really miss this general setting. It also counter-effective to change the weight one-by-one in edit

I think you can select several control points and chenge the weight in one action.

Thats news to me. so how do I change the weight globally?

rv1974

Also, in case of polycorner arc editing.. I really miss ability to choose (with crossing window and\or by single picks) several vertices and change their radius at once. So again mass editing is really welcomed.

rv1974

my humble request: window selection - most obvious and basic functionality. currently the process of vertex selection is not bearable.
Yet another idea: in edit, ability to assign different types of vertices in given spline(s) : arc, bezier, simple corner.
Thanks

I own a bundle bu I do not have bezier curves. HOw can I add this plugin to the bundle?
Thank you
Best,
Nenad

rv1974

Maybe I missed it, but Its surprising nobody reports this faulty behavior
When changing radius with mouse wheel at some stage the plugin jumps to radius 0 and its impossible to change it anymore:

Also, any editing (adding, deleting, moving) in majority of situations would delete existing faces:

How about editing multiple curve at once:

P.S. Fredo, It was requested in the past and its not implemented, but hope dies last: Is it possible to preserve plane constrains after editing is finished please? Thanks

fredo6

@rv1974

For rounded corner, the radius is limited to half the length of the shortest connecting edge at the corner. This allows to only round long edges when you do it globally.

Deletion of faces happens when you change the number of vertices. It is somehow difficult to maintain the face.

It seems to me that if you created the curve with a specified plane, the edition of vertices will be along the plane.
