      Failed to install?

          If it is licensed you must already have the SketchUcation toolset installed to cover the licensing.
          Use the SketchUcation toolset's ExtensionStore dialog to first check that you have the latest toolset version installed - if not then install it and restart Sketchup.
          After that use the ExtensionStore dialog to Auto-Install the latest LibFredo6 extension, and restart SketchUp

          Any improvement ?

            I used your method step by step TIG -still cannot find Toposhaper though the install says success. I did turn on and off SU for each step.

              You need to read its usage instructions AND also install LibFredo6 [as well as SketchUcation tools] which contains supporting code.
              Most of Fredo's extensions appear under the Tools menu, Fredo6 Collection > TopoShaper - It also has a Toolbar which you can activate...

                    This is a very strange issue...
                    You haven't explicitly said it but I assume you've installed the other two extensions that I listed.
                    If you download a brand new copy of TopoShaper RBZ from our PluginStore and manually install it with the Extension-Manager do you still get the installation error message ?
                    https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=TopoShaper
                    I just installed it and it's fine, BUT I did notice its reported as 'unsigned' after the install. so perhaps @fredo6 needs to fix that.
                    Also, if your Extension-Manager Loading-Policy is set to anything other than 'Unrestricted' then that might be causing issues ?

                      This is strange that the rbz is unsigned. Is that the only one of my plugins?
                      I can re-release it to see if this changes anything.

                        Everything else seems signed OK.
                        So something seems to have gone wrong with the TopoShaper RBZ ?
                        But for me it load OK when 'Unrestricted' so it's not faulty - just something have changed within it to mess with the checksum ??
