[Plugin Library] LibFredo6 - v14.9a - 06 Dec 24

TIG

For Fredo's extensions you need to install the latest version, and those for LibFredo6, and the SketchUcation Tools, which includes our ExtensionStore which handles the licensing...
Restart after installing to sync everything.
There are links in the extension's page about licensing procedures...

These are extensions all available from the PluginStore
[link to it via the 'ruby' icon in the top-bar of this page]...
https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore
https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=RoundCorner
https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=LibFredo6
https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=SketchUcationTools

If you have the ExtensionStore loaded you can find and install any of the plugins/extensions available in our PluginStore, but more conveniently it will AutoInstall them, without the need to download any RBZ files and manually install them, and later on it will remind you of available updates etc...

@fredo6: I ran into this while in the process of updating the extensions for 2024.

Hello,
I have a problem with icons that no longer appear in the configuration menus (see screenshot) in Fredo6 extensions such as FredoTools, JointPushPull, LordOfTheToolbars...
I use SketchUp v2020 and LibFredo6 v14.5b.
Any idea where this might be coming from?
Thanks for any help!

fredo6

@youppi

Did you do anything special before it happens?

Could you invoke the menu Window > LibFredo6 Settings.... > Fredo6 Plugins Information for Sketchucation support, to see what is the status of your plugins.

@youppi

Thanks.

Did it happen suddenly? or after you did an installation?

Before calling the Quick Launcher of Joint PushPull, can you leave the Ruby open to see if there are errors.

adams_1127

This does not work on 2024 sketchup. It does not load properly. Is there a catch?

TIG

@adams_1127

Please explain what you mean.

LibFredo6 does not 'work' at all - it simply adds functions that are used by many other Fredo6 extensions.
If you have the latest versions of the LibFredo6, the related Fredo6 extensions and the SketchUcation Tools [for the licensing] installed - and SketchUp is restarted so that everything is synced, then things should work...

If you are having specific issues, then please explain them clearly, so that Fredo can help...

Hi, i've tried with SU 21, 23 and 24 but few are the extensions that works fine. The most important LibFredo6 i want to work. Afte several investigation i found out that the extensions SU cant load (even being installed and correctly identify by the Extension Manager) because this ones are installed with a file format RBE and the ones that does works are installes with a files format RBS.
Now i'm not a scripter but on sketchucation web it shows an example of how should be instaled and states .rb files....i dont have rb files just rbe.
Can someone help me here? I leave a copy of the error from skech up aswell screenshots from my computer

The best would be to upgrade first the plugins to their latest versions:

Finito86

@fredo6 they are already updated.
Check it up in this picture. Even further the sketch up suggest to download the latest version of fredo6....and gives me the option to redirect theweb site to sketchucation where the lates version is. Still the same place i downloaded in the first time. Every time i start up the sketch up is says to update the fredo version and keeps insisting to install the same version onces and again.

@Finito86
You say you have 'installed' these extensions...
But you published a screenshot showing the downloaded RBZ files for these extensions, not the installed extensions themselves.
You need to actually install an RBZ file's contents into your Plugins folder.
Use the Extensions > Extensions Manager dialog to Install... them [but see below for an even easier way...]
Restart SketchUp to sync everything after the installation[s].
Most of Fredo's extensions will also require his LibFredo6 installing as that provides many 'behind-the-scenes' functions...
Note that you will need the latest SketchUcationTools installing, to run for any licensing...
But, if you install the SketchUcationTools there are several very helpful additional tools created in SketchUp - e.g. the ExtensionStore - a dialog which let's you AutoInstall extensions directly from our PluginStore, sidestepping the RBZ part download altogether.

Finito86

@TIG Hi, yes, i did not upload the picture to show the plugins installed, so here it is.
Please notice the sketchucation is also installed and still the same problem not showing on the software.

Captura de pantalla 2024-06-27 162720.jpg

The plugins of Truebend, Randomtools and 1001bit_freeware are also installed with the same process by using the Extension Manager. They do appear on the software and i can use them with no problem.

fredo6

@Finito86

LibFredo6 is a library, not really a plugin. It does not have a toolbar.

You now just need to install some of my plugins, like RoundCorner, FredoScale, etc.... and they will appear with their toolbars, once you restart Sketchup.
