[Plugin Library] LibFredo6 - v14.5f - 07 Aug 24

@Finito86
You say you have 'installed' these extensions...
But you published a screenshot showing the downloaded RBZ files for these extensions, not the installed extensions themselves.
You need to actually install an RBZ file's contents into your Plugins folder.
Use the Extensions > Extensions Manager dialog to Install... them [but see below for an even easier way...]
Restart SketchUp to sync everything after the installation[s].
Most of Fredo's extensions will also require his LibFredo6 installing as that provides many 'behind-the-scenes' functions...
Note that you will need the latest SketchUcationTools installing, to run for any licensing...
But, if you install the SketchUcationTools there are several very helpful additional tools created in SketchUp - e.g. the ExtensionStore - a dialog which let's you AutoInstall extensions directly from our PluginStore, sidestepping the RBZ part download altogether. -
@TIG Hi, yes, i did not upload the picture to show the plugins installed, so here it is.
Please notice the sketchucation is also installed and still the same problem not showing on the software.The plugins of Truebend, Randomtools and 1001bit_freeware are also installed with the same process by using the Extension Manager. They do appear on the software and i can use them with no problem.
-
LibFredo6 is a library, not really a plugin. It does not have a toolbar.
You now just need to install some of my plugins, like RoundCorner, FredoScale, etc.... and they will appear with their toolbars, once you restart Sketchup.
-
@Finito86
So...
SketchUcation seems to be properly installed into your Plugins folder, you have previously show a screenshot showing it's enabled in the Extensions Manager.
You have not expanded its entry in that dialog to show the installed version - which should be v4.4.1
The same comment applies for LibFredo6...Is there a submenu entry in the Extensions menu for SketchUcation ? Can you open a dialog for the ExtensionStore³ from that ? Can you activate its Toolbar ?
As Fredo explains his Lib is an 'enabler' toolset, and does nothing on its won, unless you install one or more of his extensions that will then use its features as needed...
Because many of Fredo's extensions also need a license, then the SketchUcation toolset is also needed to provide that functionality.
As previously explained the ExtensionStore³ dialog also lets you AutoInstall directly, without having to download an RBZ first... -
@fredo6
But what if i tell you i cant install roundcorner because its asks me to update the libfredo6? look
And the version of libfredo6 i'm trying to install is LibFredo6_v14.5b. I dont know where to show you the version, but here is a screeshot of the files used by me.
-
@fredo6
Found in this window error that is says fredo6 (1.0) has that something to do with all this? it should be the v14.5b
-
@TIG
Yes, the sketchucation version is the 4.4.1 check it out on the windows error screenshot
There is no Sketchucation entry on the Extension menu
What else can i try?
Does this helps?
-
Your Extension Manager ['Administrador de extensiones'] dialog - you have shown us it with the 'Gestionar' [Manage] tab selected in the top bar.
All of your active extensions seem to have 'Desinstalar' [Uninstall] in bold.
'Actualizar' [Update] is in feint.You have not shown us the 'Inicio' [Home] tab.
The entries under the heading 'Habilitar/Deshabilitar' (or 'Activar/Desactivar' ?) [Enable/Disable] should all read 'Activado' [Enabled] - because if they read 'Desactivado' [Disabled] then those extensions won't load, their menu items and toolbars are not then shown etc...
Can you check that ?
You need to restart SketchUp after making such changes... -
@TIG
Here, they are all and always Enable/Habilitado/Activado
-
@Finito86
All of your extensions listed seem to be the newest versions, they are also activated.
So this suggests there's something very wrong with your SketchUp installation than is not creating menu items and Toolbars for them...Can you try the following... it will not affect anything you've customized or installed etc.
Close SketchUp.
Find its installer exe file - usually in your Downloads folder [if necessary download a new copy]
Select the exe file's icon, right-click > context-menu > Run as administrator...
When prompted choose 'Repair'.
When it's finished, restart SketchUp.
See if it's improved things...Running an installer's exe file by double-clicking on it is not the same, even if your user-account has admin powers.
This can cause all kinds of unexpected issues - yours might be an example. -
@TIG
I understand your suggestion, i always install all my programs o games running with right click and using Run as administrator (Ejecutar como administrador). Still, i have uninstall everything lastnight in an attempt of fury and reinstalled all just now again. Everything works fine except for this
Its weird but i never installed dinamiccomponents nor sandboxmenus, so i assume they come allong with sketch up. But why the error pop up? Could it be a clue? lol this is harder than a crime from Sherlok Holmes! -

@Finito86
The error message is useful.
It appears that several extensions are failing to load beyond their initial RB file which sets them up, by running another file - often an RBE in its subfolder - that loads all of the stuff necessary for making the menu items, toolbars and running the code.Your errors include the DC and sandBox extensions which ship with SketchUp and get copied into your Plugins folder before it runs and then loads extensions...
It's also failing to load the LibFredo6 and SketchUcation stuff, and Trimble Connect.This suggests a permissions problem in that the files are unreadable.
Let's try with just one issue... SketchUcation
Check in your Plugins folder that SketchUcation.rb and the SketchUcation subfolder exist.
Now in SketchUp open the Ruby Console - Extensions > Developers menu
Type in the bottom section:
load 'SketchUcation.rb'
See what happens - you might get errors similar to what you've posted.
If not then check the Extensions menu for a 'SketchUcation' submenu...
Is so then try typing this:
Sketchup::require('SketchUcation/SCF_loader.rbe')
Does anything happen ?
If not then SketchUp isn't managing to load files it needs...
Close SketchUp.
Try finding your Plugins folder icon in
C:/Users/Finito/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2022/
It's a hidden file but the full path in a Windows Explorer window should open it.
Or choose the Folder Option to show hidden files...
With the Plugins folder icon selected right-click > context-menu > Properties > Security and pick 'Edit...'
Select each of the Groups or user names in turn and ensure that the box for 'Full control' is ticked.
The changes should trickle down to all enclosed files and subfolders etc.
Once it's done OK the dialog and try restarting SketchUp.
Any improvements now... ?? -

Sketchup::require('SketchUcation/SCF_loader.rbe')
Hello there, sorry for the delay. I've tried your steps....here are some screenshots as usuall (lol). The first one is from the Ruby Console...you where right
asuming the SU its no able to load or find the files it need. Algo here its a picture of the sketchucation foldes on my roaming/sketchup folder.The last part i've tryied it before by myself....the TOtal Control or Control Total is indeed ticked. I dont know why i sees so many "users" as i'm the onlyone using this computer. But here is a picture of 3 of them with all permissions ticked.
The strange thing is that theres is Special Permission at the bottom of the list i cannot tick.
Hope this is helpfull. You're trully are, thanks for helping me

The Plugins folder's permissions look OK...SketchUcation.rb is loading OK
but
../PluginsSketchUcation/SCF_loader.rbe is not loading OK.Please look at the ../Plugins/SketchUcation folder's Properties/Edit and check all entries have 'Full Control'...
Changes to the Plugins folder's Properties should filter down to all of the contents...
Also check that its RBE files have 'Full Control' and 'read' properties set - if not adjust them to suit...Perhaps @Gabor has some ideas ?
