[Plugin][$] Tools On Surface - v2.6a - 01 Apr 24

fredo6

I have still not been able to get the plugin to work on my Mac...can someone please give me some help?

On Mac, the plugin files should be copied to Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 7/SketchUp/plugins
Please make sure that your unzipping operation leads to the same footprint as indicated in page 2 of the PDF documentation, that is:
Footprint TOS.jpg

The 2 folders, LIBFREDO6_Dir_34 and TOS_Dir_15 must contains several files (.rb, .lang, ...) and a subfolder IMAGES_STANDARD (make sure that you do not have another LIBFREDO6_Dir_34 or TOS_Dir_15 embedded).

If needed, unzip in a separate place, check the files and directories and then copy them in the Sketchup Plugin folder:

Fred

PS: if it still does not work, then I must call the Mac user community to help.

Alternative solution:
I see that you have Whaat´s "subdivide and smooth". Use the knife tool (a.k.a. zorro) in parallel projection. Also you can group the faces you don´t want to divide:

Where do I find this script?

Hi Toucan, the script is located in the first post of this thread. Go back to page one and look for a download link there. Have fun!

I occasionally get this happening while using TOS. What's causing it?
I wanted to draw an arc between the two points - going across the two faces.

The algorithm has many flaws, espcially on shape volumes that are closed.
I am thinking of a serious refresh to resolve these problems (and some others).

Thanks Fredo6

may I request an additional feature?

adding rounded corners to a shape?

So it some times picks the wrong distance/direction between the two points? A workaround would be to break the volume somehow?

Somehow, it works much better when the surface is open.
But I know how to fix the problem. No easy, but I need some time, as I have to revisit the whole algorithm.

Rightclick menues issue..
After having installed Fredo6 Tools on surface + FredoScale I´m having the darnest stupid problem:
Most contextual menues are greyed out, like Intersect with model, Flip along Groups Red, and so on..
I can create shortcuts to these commands and they work as expected, but I rely heavily on shortcuts in my work and list of shortcuts is getting more and more crowded. Have I done something wrong here and this is normal behavior? I have been searching the forum but so far havent found a description af this "problem".
I have most definetely missed out on something here and the fault is obviously mine (as it usually is) but I really would appreciate an input to help me solve this matter.

I have heard that this problem is related to SU itself, though it may be 'helped' by some plugins.
I got it occasionally, even not using any plugins.

Great tool bro. Nice work!!!!

A minor issue and not sure if this is Mac related.

I can only get the default icons to show.
If I go into Default Parameters and choose IMAGES_DanielS then save changes, it does nothing. I can open the default parameters again and the box is un-ticked.
I have the latest version installed.

Thanks a lot.Good plug-in
