      Fredo:

      Is there anyway for you to add a "Check for Update" function in LibFredo6 ?

      It could check for an internal date or variable in the User's version of LibFredo6 and compare it to one on a server OR simply have it display a message which shows the most recent rev level with a link to a download page.

      I can see where LibFredo6 might be the "heart" of many important scripts and we'll (your loyal users) want to make sure its always kepT current.

        Daniel,

        That's a bug, and actually quite subtle to fix. Thanks for signaling.
        Since you seem to know how to reproduce it, would you mind to try with the attached updated file.

        Again, many thanks

        Fredo

          Yes, now works very well! thank you!. For me was easy to reproduce because it happened every time I tried to scale about center.

          Another problem that I have is when trying to scale Red, Green, Blue (all togheter) with a negative number.
          I attach a video showing this.

          In the video you will see that if I try to scale only red axis negative, only green negative or only blue negative all works well... but if I take a red blue and green grip to a negative number it turns crazy. The same happens if I press the ctrl key. It works well if I scale one axis only.

            Fred06— I can't thank you enough for this script. I've been begging for something like this, and it's so easy to use. I love the way it reads out in percentage and dimension, right on the screen where it's most visible. It's how the SU scale tool should have been done in the first place.

              Thxs a lot Fred for this plugin, your ruby scripts are amazing.
              Do you think you could add more transformations to it, like bend, twist, Bulge
              Maibe for a comercial plugin?

                I can add shear and twist without too much problem. But the royal way to all these deformations is definitely Sketchy FFD.

                  Please add it Fredo. 👍
                  I find your plugin to run more smoothly and controllable than FFD.
                  Shear and twist would be wonderful as a tool.

                  By the way, since I installed your plugin,I never use the default SU scaling tool anymore.
                  The plugin is fantastic and works very intuitive.
                  Thank you again.

                      I Know FFD is very powerful for deformation tool, but its not as fast and easy to use as your Taper Deformation Script.
                      with FFD it is very hard to do an accurate bend or twist, also you canot deform Nested Components or Grups, and you canot align the deformation as easy as you can do it with Taper deformation in your ruby.

                          Daniel,

                          Another interesting bug (due to Sketchup precision reaching limits). I hope I hav fixed them (you had one for Taper with negative scales too)
                          Would you mind to try with this updated version.

                          Thanks very much

                          Fred

                            How could i missed a Fredo Script ?
                            OMG Shear works great Im impresed 2 times by you Fredo in a day, and nice icons you made last year for it Daniel.

                            Fredo the only thing i miss in shear deformation is that it groups the shear object at the end, in your Taper deformation that does not happen so you can deform part of an object without breaking it in 2.
                            It would be amazing to bend, twist, shear, bugle just part of an object.
                            That way Organic Modeling would be like playing with clay in SU,
                            Thxs to so talented scripters like you

                              Fredo,

                              This new version fixes all the problems in the scale tool in all the axis.
                              I didn´t try before the Taper with negative scales. Seems that now there is a problem only if you try to Taper with negative scales about center (pressing the Ctrl key). All the rest works very well.
                              I attach a video of this too.

                              Thank you,
                              Daniel S

                                          NEW UPDATE 02 FEB 09

                                          I have posted an update to FreeScale and to LibFredo6.
                                          It mainly fixes some problems of stability when scaling or tapering with negative factors, as well as minor issues here and there.

                                          Please make sure you update both

                                          FreeScale 1.0c--> http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=16021#p124685

                                          LibFredo6 3.0c --> http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=16020#p124684

                                          Thanks to all for your warm support and your contribution to testing this very first version of FreeScale. I hope to add a few features soon in the future, hopefully.

                                          Fredo

                                            NEW NEW UPDATE - 3 Feb 09 - 00:20

                                            There was a big bug in my previous update 1.0c (Scale about center did not work any longer). Sorry for that.

                                            Please make sure you download the version **1.0d**in the main thread.

                                            Sorry again. I hope this one will be stable again.

                                            Fredo
