      Hi Keea, have you installed LibFredo as well? Btw have you read the PDF quickcard (2. installation and configuration)?

        After reading his installation notes and carefully loading all the components for Fredo's great Tools on Surface plugin (about 4 times), I got my error messages down to just this one upon opening SketchUp after install:

        Error Loading File Zloader_OnSurface.rb unititialized constant Traductor:Plugin

        I reinstalled Zloader (the freshest version, I believe) and have the latest version of his plugin, but I would love to find out what I'm doing wrong. MacBookPro, Snow Leopard, and I cleaned out all the bits of Fredo's older versions, etc.

        Thanks in advance for any advice,

        Mave

            Is anyone please pointing it out for me of what is not right as I have tried a lot of times to install but still not get it? I got files LIBFREDO6_Dir_34, FREDOSCALE_Dir_20, TOS_Dir_16 and 3 rb(s) LibFredo6.rb, ZLoader__FredoScale.rb, ZLoader__OnSurface.rb located in Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 7-pro\Plugins.. . The Fredoscale is fine and working icons shown but Tools on Surface icon(s) is not and in Preferences I saw it there and I checked that box and restart computer but still not shown. Oh one more thing that I never had installed any of those files before (3 files) so is there any relation of old and new files installed that makes it does not work or any missing things I don't know??? please tell me as I am tired of trying so many times...Thanks!

              Your set up seems OK. You only need these 3 folders and 3 files at the level of the Skethcup Plugin directory.
              However, I can't judge if you have other files that would conflict and if the contnet of these folder are right. Please check the documentation, as it gives the footprint.
              Also, you do not need to "restart the computer" to enable the plugins. Just restart Sketchup.
              Finally, can you check the menu Tools > Fredo6 Collection and see if you have Tools on Surface submenus.

              Fredo

                Hello Fredo,

                I am glad it okay now as I deleted/installed it again and it works fine now and I have no idea why! Your design plugin stuffs are truly amazing and provide more choices in different languages around the world...very eager to try it soon!
                Thanks for spending time of looking over the problem! 😆

                    Hi Fredo, Just having a bit of a problem with TOS. I'm trying to draw an arc on a curved vertical surface but it seems to be playing up a bit.... see attached short screen movie.

                    Any ideas?
                    Thanks in advance.

                          There is a small problem with the polygon of 3 segments on the red axis working on 2D.
                          It creates the triangle but in the other direction. On a surface works right.
