[fredo6]

The information on FredoBatch is maintained on the Plugin Home Page of FredoBatch. This is also where you can download the RBZ file.

• LibFredo6: v14.8a or above
• Sketchup version: SU2017 and above
• Platform: Windows and Mac OSX
• Usage: Free

If you land on this page and are unfamiliar with how to install Sketchup Extensions such as LibFredo6 or how to register on Sketchucation, please watch this video or refer to the Plugin page of LibFredo6.

FredoBatch executes a set of tasks on a set of files:

• a Task is based on Ruby code, with a top method as an entry point. Task can be built-in (provided with FredoBatch) or custom (written and configured by the user).
• a Set of Files is specified as a combination of lists of files (File List) or open set of files with wild card and filtering on names and extensions (File Set).
• a Job is the combination of sets of files and tasks. This is what is executed by FredoBatch.

FredoBatch v1.1 ships with 2 built-in tasks:

• Purge Unused of Sketchup models
• Convert Sketchup models to old SU versions.

If you see other useful general-purpose tasks, please advise. I may include them in FredoBatch as built-in tasks.

@fredo6 Thanks

The New Param Dialog refuses to resize to display footer buttons on SketchUp 2023 and Windows 11 occasionally.

Some of the features, in particular the ability to load custom scripts is so powerful. This extension reminds me of Auto Hotkey.

A really nice feature would be to add Extension menu entries to the Custom Task dialog to run explicit menu commands on a file set. Something like batch running the Create 2D Face Me command in Fredo Portrait to parse through a folder of SKP files to generate billboards.

Really powerful tool nonetheless and thanks for sharing.

Does the problem of resize happens when you do it again?
