Wow! Another brilliant plugin, Fredo6!

Dale,

You can be sure that I appreciate the compliment, coming from you.

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?

I use a mac too and don't have any luck with the taper tool. ...same problem as the others.

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

Thanks fredo!

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 !

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

Wow - awesome work Fredo! If there is a list of essential Ruby scripts somewhere, this really needs to be on it!

thank you!

thanks Fredo

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.

Thanks fredo!

This tool has changed my life, what is needed, it works great. IS a spectacle. This humble YOU ALL YOU MUST RESPECT.

otb designworks

maybe I am confused, but I never get a pop up window of any kind.

I can, however, customize the dimensions just as I would with the SU scale.

Is there a command to bring up the dialogue pop-up?

What a kick ass script!

BUDLA

It not showing in windows menu and not working?

Fredo,

I just now tried your script, but can't get it to work.
I extracted both zip files, both having a file and a folder, to my plugins directory. At startup I get this error:

Error Loading File ZLoader__FreeScale.rb
> C;/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 7/Plugins/LibFredo6.rb;30; syntax error
> def LibFredo6.startup
>    ^

I must add that I am running SketchUp 7 on Ubuntu, which is a Linux distribution, with WINE (a Windows layer that allows for Windows apps to run on Linux). But as you can see it creates a C drive, so I don't think this is the problem.

Coen,

For sure I did not test this platform!
The error you get is very strange, because it signals a syntax error in a statement which is purely Ruby.
And at the stage it reads LibFredo6, nothing of my scripts has been loaded yet.

In order to know more, could you turn the Ruby console on, and then type

load "LibFredo6"

Thanks

Fredo

PS: if you continue getting an error, could you comment out lines 24 and 25 of LibFredo6.
