      I tried with the new version of LibFredo6 but have no luck... still can`t use the dimension dialog box.
      But i find something strange in my Plugins directory: there is a new folder called "DEFPARAM_Dir" and is empty. I delete this folder, but every time that I open a new SketchUp it creates the folder again.
      I never had this folder before.

          Daniel,

          I think I know what it could be. I guess you have a set up where you should use the comma as the decimal separator.
          I made a change in LibFredo6. Maybe it will clear the issue.
          Thanks for your patience.

          PS: DEFPARAM_Dir is just the place where my scripts (today only FreeScale) stores the default parameter. It is a separate folder so that the parameters are not lost when upgrading.

              Now works!!!... but not well!! 😆
              I don`t know how to explain it in english but i attach a video showing that it dosen´t scale well (i put 30 and the result is 76,200cm). But now works!!

              Thank you for looking into this,
              Daniel S.

              PS. It must be only my problem because I remeber in the past I had problems with TIG`s slicer... was working for everyone but not for me and then he fixes the problem and said that was a problem about the comma.

                Daniel,

                My fault in the update.
                Can you make a last try for today with the update I made in LibFredo6.

                Thanks again for your patience.

                    I'm having some issues with the taper scale working on my machine. FreeScale works fine, and TaperScale does not redraw the polygons after I use the TaperScale tool. I can see the polygon shape distort in wireframe preview mode. Any Ideas?

                        Can you confirm that you have the problem even on a simple cube (drawn from a Rectangle and Push Pull)?

                        If so, is it correct that:

                        • the Box with the small pad is OK
                        • when you drag the handle, the wireframe appears correct
                        • But when you click or release to finalize, you get NO deformation

                        Just in case, could you drop the attached file in te LIBFREDO6_Dir_30 folder, restart Sketchup, turn on the Ruby console and try again.

                        Thanks

                        Fredo


                        to drop in LIBFREDO6_Dir_30 folder

                          After installing the updated script, taper scale works beautifully.

                          I feel like I owe you a bottle of scotch, or something.

                          Awesome script!

                              Very strange. The change I made is purely in the syntax. I wonder why there was a problem on Mac. But, what matters is that it works.
                              Let's wait for confirmation from other Mac users before opening the bottle !

                                To Mac Users

                                By the way, I am interested to know how the dialog boxes for Default Parametersbehave on Mac. Does it even work?
                                Same for the Translation web dialog box.

                                Thanks

                                          I'm a mac user (os 10.4.11) free scaling works well for the moment even when you specify new dimension(pop-up window), but when tapering SU quite immediatly.

                                          To be continue.
