[Plugin][$] Tools On Surface - v2.6a - 01 Apr 24
-
Fredo could erroneous Arc behavior be fixed please?
-
I get that a lot too. Mentioned it numerous times in the past 8+ years and no improvement. Sometimes it works correctly, but I cannot define what works and what doesn't.
-
Yep it's present from day 1. The 'workaround' is not to start/end from the outer edges. Just a microscopic offset, then manually extend the arc Kinda helps in many (but not 100%) cases
-
This is a fundamental flaw in the algorithm when you start from sharp borders.
So, not something simple to correct, versus revisiting seriously the algorithm itself.
-
What do you mean "sharp borders"?

Usual cases where you TOS algorithm has problem are those where the surface is a close shape and when you start from an edge which has a sharp angle.
-
Is it possible to place image on curved surface?
-
Native tools can do that or you could look at Fredo's Thru Paint.

I'm running Sketchup 2015, and have installed Fredo6: Tools On Surface v2.4a. I can see it installed in my extensions list, but it doesn't show up in the menus to use. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
-
Did you install the Fredo Library that is required.
-
Fredo's tools appear under the Tools menu, did you look there ?
-
Hello, how may I avoid these diagonal lines that are produced when offsetting rectangles?
Thanks in advance,
Chris

I would need to have the model, and also to understand how you used the OffsetOnSurface tool.
-
I take it that those roofs have the center raised a bit. The diagonal lines are the "hip" bends. Quite normal. You need to make then "soft" or hidden.
Three ways, either select the line and change its attribute in Entity Attributes; or
with the erase tool, press and hold "CTRL" and sweep over the line.
The third way is to create a layer and move those lines into it. Make that layer visible or invisible as needed.

Hi, great plugin!
I have an issue on SketchUp 2020 version (Mac), it's not appearing in none of menus.
on SU 2018 it's working perfectly though.
Any idea why it happens?
best regards

It will show in Tools>Fredo6 Collection in SketchUp 2020. Have you restarted SketchUp after installing it?

How did you install it?

Do you have the most current version of LibFredo6 installed, too?
