[Plugin Library] LibFredo6 - v15.4d - 14 Aug 25
-
@fredo6 said in [Plugin Library] LibFredo6 - v15.2a - 12 Mar 25:
IMPORTANT: from now on, LibFredo6 and all my plugins are ONLY maintained for SU2017 and above. If you run a legacy version of Sketchup (up to SU2016), you can find the frozen legacy versions of LibFredo6 and my plugins here.
The information on LibFredo6 is maintained on the Plugin Home Page of LibFredo6. This is also where you can download the RBZ file.
- Sketchup version: SU2017 and above (for Mac M1, SU2021 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:
LibFredo6 is a shared plugin library used by most of my plugins. LibFredo6 takes care, among others, of enriching my plugins with a few capabilities such as default parameters, language translation, Check Plugins for Update, Trace logging, etc.
It is NOT a standalone plugin. It must be installed once and updated as needed when new versions are published.
I have Sketchup 2025 and the plugin cannot be installed whatever I do.

How have you tried to install Libredo6 ?
The two ways are:
Download its RBZ from the PluginStore, then use the Extension manager to Install it. After that restart SketchUp to sync everything.
Or use the SketchUcation toolset ExtensionStore dialog to find it, click to auto-install it - sidestepping the RBZ download. After that restart SketchUp to sync everything.
You need the SketchUcation toolset installed for the SCF licensing etc - especially of many of Fredo's extensions.
So I recommend you download its RBZ from the PluginStore, then use the Extension manager to Install it. After that restart SketchUp to sync everything.
After that always use the ExtensionStore dialog to install future extensions - it's vital for licensing, but it offers lots of other perks too... -
I just downloaded LibFredo6 rbz file then went to extension warehouse in Sketch Up to install and enable it, then restarted Sketch Up, but I don't see the extension in my tools palette where all the other extensions are? What am I doing wrong?

Libfredo is a library that is used by Fredo's other extensions. On its own it serves no purpose.
It resides under Window > Libfredo Settings

Hi
I'm having a problem after a crash. all of a sudden SketchUp keeps crashing when loading my plugins. I've deleted LibFredo6 and it will open. Then ill re install it and it will crash. do you have any advice? -
@TeKnoel I've been working on a fresh install of all my plugins it seems the conflict might be s4u frame and scene exporter. i just deleted that one and it seems to be loading most of my stuff again
-
This is the first time i uploades plug-ins.
The download and installation went well (even though normally i have to ask the administrator).
I can see the LibFredo6 settings under tab Windows
But how do i get the toolbar on my workspace? I don't see it... in the video it shows the LibFredo6 toolbar.
-
LibFredo is a helper library. On its own it does very little and does not need a toolbar.
You need to install Fredo extensions that use it.

Did you do something specific so that these errors occur, like reinstall Sketchup? I mean what you say as 'recently'
-
No I was getting these errors and sketchup crashing just this week prior to doing anything. I haven't changed anything with my installs. When I opened sketchup this week it asked me to update fredo6 which I did. I was also having issues with thru paint showing up. So I uninstalled that and reinstalled. It then said my trial expired, so I purchased that. Still was getting these errors and sketchup crashing. Every so often it will crash and then when I reload sketchup all of your fredo toolbars are stacked in the middle of my screen not where I had them. I've had to put them back probably 16 times now. In an attempt to fix things, I did a "repair" install on sketchup, but that did not change anything.
Should I attempt a full uninstall reinstall? anything else I could try before that?
Thank you
-
@simulat
When you did the 'Repair' did you 'Run' the SketchUp installer's exe file by double-clicking it, or by selecting it > right-clicking > context-menu > Run as administrator
The second way is correct, the other way is wrong, and it can lead to all kinds of unpredictable permission related issues, such as settings being unsaved etc... -
It was already set to run as administrator, I had to give permission to repair. I was getting these errors and issues before doing that too.
