[Plugin Library] LibFredo6 - v14.6a - 18 Sep 24
-
As Fredo says...
You clearly do have some old files loading, so look for these .plugin files and remove them...
In passing I note the following issues [albeit not extensive] which have arisen because you HAVE copied files/folders from and earlier SketchUp version ! ...
BZ_Dir_14 = not sure if this is still current ?? Fredo's Bezier stuff ???
CURVILOFT_Dir_12 = OLD Fredo folder !
DEFPARAM_Dir = old Fredo folder
DOCUMENTATION_Dir = what in this ???
eagleUp_ files/subfolder = what are these ???
examples = file/subfolder NOT compatible with >v2014 ! - find su_ equivalent...
FREESCALE_Dir_10 = old Fredo folder
layer_manager_extension.rb = is this the latest version of Didier's tool ???
ocean_extension = file and subfolder NOT compatible with >= v2014 - find su_ equivalent...
OSCoolean / Oscar = file and subfolder contents are known to be NOT compatible with >= v2014
RDE_Dir = probably out of date Fredo folder ???
ROUNDCORNER_Dir_23 = old Fredo folder
Sketchup.rb = DELETE IT !!! This file must NOT be in Plugins, but another newer version of it MUST be the one shipped with SketchUp - it is in the Tools subfolder.
SoapSkinBubble = might well be out of date !
SURFACEGEN_Dir = probably out of date Fredo stuff ?
TOS_Dir_18 = old Fredo folder
Utilities = this stuff is probably not compatible with >= v2014 - find su_ equivalent...
As I said... this in not a FULL list - BUT it clearly shows your v2015 Plugins folder is in a sorry state !
It didn't get like that on its own.
Take responsibility for it and fix it...

@fredo6 said:
The error you get comes from an old file with extension .plugin.
This is probably located in an old subfolder of my plugins that was not deleted (must be quite old now)
There are such files in many subfolders but not in the root plugins folder. I do see one in each of the Fredo6_!LibFredo6 , Fredo6_FredoScale and Fredo6_ToolsOnSurface but all this stuff was just installed lately and that's when I started having the error popping up.
Since all of those are recent, and even much be very latest, since I installed all this using the automatic install from the sketchucation plugin and the load single plugin menu option (.rbz files), those should be fresh enough. Should I remove all of that again and re-install them all?
Maybe there are more such files somewhere else in some other subfolder. Which ones I don't know, but how would those be related enough to interfere?
@fredo6 said:
The best would be that you post a screenshot of your whole Plugins folder so that we can tell you which one is faulty.
I thought posting the text file with the complete list from the plugins folder would do this, but of course that doesn't list anything in subfolders.
Since I'm deleting a bunch of stuff now, things are changing. For now I still do get the error popup though.
Deleting some of those things will also remove plugins I may still want to use, so I'll have to reinstall again later...
@fredo6 said:
Otherwise, delete all the files and folders of my plugins, and then reinstall fresh copies from Pluginstore.
Not all the needed plugins are in that store. That would be so great, but we're quite far from that situation. So I could only re-install the few available on the store, and I'd still be stuck having to install the others with other methods.
thanks

If I remove those files from the freshly installed folders, I will remove those plugins. Those are freshly installed and should be latest versions.
Not sure which to remove, but if I dump those from Fredo6_!LibFredo6 , Fredo6_FredoScale and Fredo6_ToolsOnSurface, none of those will work and will have to be reinstalled again, which would put those files back in anyway.
I will remove those things you list as being too old.

CURVILOFT_Dir_12 = OLD Fredo folder !
DEFPARAM_Dir = old Fredo folder
DOCUMENTATION_Dir = what in this ???
Don't know which plugin installed this, but that subfolder was empty, so no harm in dumping that one.
I did reuse some .rbz files I had on hand and for which I didn't have a newer version handy. Most of that was installed using the preferences' install extension facility.
@tig said:
eagleUp_ files/subfolder = what are these ???
That one works and I definitely don't want to give it up. This is the eagle to sketchup plugin, so eagle cad's pcb designs can be built in 3D in sketchup. I use this a lot and don't want to give it up.
It works and I don't think it would interfere anyway.
@tig said:
examples = file/subfolder NOT compatible with >v2014 ! - find su_ equivalent...
FREESCALE_Dir_10 = old Fredo folder
Alright, removed, but I'm sure I'll want freescale back in some time...
@tig said:
layer_manager_extension.rb = is this the latest version of Didier's tool ???
That one I remember installing several weeks ago. Looks like maybe some v6 or something, from what I see inside that .rb file, it has layer_manager_extension_v6.rb in there, but I don't see that layer_manager_extension_v6.rb file anywhere...
@tig said:
ocean_extension = file and subfolder NOT compatible with >= v2014 - find su_ equivalent...
OSCoolean / Oscar = file and subfolder contents are known to be NOT compatible with >= v2014
RDE_Dir = probably out of date Fredo folder ???
ROUNDCORNER_Dir_23 = old Fredo folder
I do use round corner often as well, so I am removing this too, but I'll want it back. This is really something so basic, and sketchup should have such things built-in. We really need the plugins to compensate for those missing basic tools.
@tig said:
Sketchup.rb = DELETE IT !!! This file must NOT be in Plugins, but another newer version of it MUST be the one shipped with SketchUp - it is in the Tools subfolder.
No clue how it got there, I don't remember dealing with that one, but it's gone now, I hope nothing serious breaks as a result of all my dumping...

SoapSkinBubble = might well be out of date !
SURFACEGEN_Dir = probably out of date Fredo stuff ?
TOS_Dir_18 = old Fredo folder
Utilities = this stuff is probably not compatible with >= v2014 - find su_ equivalent...
It's good that all this gets on a discussion thread, as it can help others. I couldn't find enough such info to troubleshoot this before...
Let's see if that much dumping will at least calm things down for now, but I know I'll be hunting for replacements for several of those removed things soon.
Thanks much,

What Fredo was saying is that you probably have some of his OLD .plugin files loading - causing these issues.
These are most likely in the folders I highlighted as 'old Fredo folders' [these are usually with CAPITAL letters in their name]***.
Fredos current .rb and matching folders usually start with 'Fredo...'
There are new [compatible] versions of ALL of Fredo's plugins in the SketchUcation PluginStore.
The only ones I can think of that might confuse you are that 'FreeScale' was renamed 'FredoScale' some years ago, and it's now recast as Joint PushPull 'Interactive'...
There are good Search tools for the PluginStore - by author, by word match etc...***When you remove the OLD Fredo folders note down the name, then install fresh compatible ones from the PluginStore - any one of these OLD Fredo plugins could be trying to load an incompatible file and causing errors.
You need new versions of all of them.
With the SketchUcation PluginStore dialog you can easily Auto=Install these Plugins without recourse to downloading an RBZ at all...
There are no known issues with the 'eagle' stuff... I just wondered what it was...
NOT having the old 'sketchup.rb' file in the Plugins folder is a recipe for success.
Having the proper version load from the Tools folder is the right way to go.
Anything else is asking for trouble...
The old @Last/GoogleOcean and Utilities stuff is superseded by the Trimble EW's 'su_' versions...
Once you have a tidied Plugins folder and replacement Fredo plugins reinstalled restart SketchUp to ensure everything is in sync.
See what errors you get if any...
Running plugins with the Ruby Console open can sometimes show error messages you wouldn't otherwise be aware of if the tool fails silently...Good luck

This shows you have some old Fredo files still loading...
If you copied Plugins over, then this is a common symptom.
Look for the very-old files in the Plugins folder - likeTraductor.rb- which are obsolete - and delete them...
There have been several posts about this, search backwards...
Only a few posts back it's discussed at length.

Hi there,
Since 2-3 weeks i have a macbook pro with retina screen. Though the screen is very nice it does not work like you want with all applications.
In SU a lot of interfaces of plugins which rest in a corner for user interface are very small. In this screen shot its blown out cause retina doubling pixels, on real dimensions its very small.
Is there a method i can scale this up?
-
Sorry hadnt tried a search first ...
I noticed there's this Retina option, i checked and the menu is bigger. But font in menu is still very small. Can i enlarge this some how?

But in some OSX Retina set up, it is possible to enlarge the character size by a system parametrization. So the Retina option of LibFredo6 is simply there to double the size of the graphical drawing, not more.
There is a discussion at http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=15%26amp;t=56028%26amp;hilit=retina.
you can also search for Retina keyword in the forum.Fredo

Having an issue with Curviloft and this update. Toolbar doesn't open and I get this box. When I exit out of Curviloft and open ToolsOnSurface, the same Curviloft box now opens. Same issue happens with RoundCorner as well.
-
Someone else contacted me about this and it turned out they had a lingering file from an older version of LibFredo6 still in their Plugins folder. Is it possible that the situation for you?

[attachment=0:1ncmm8gs]<!-- ia0 -->Tools on.JPG<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:1ncmm8gs]Could you open the Ruby console and check if there are errors displayed.
Thanks

how do i download this? i can't see a download link

From the first post of this thread it's pretty clear.

As Dave R just explained... There is a link in the very first post in this thread.
This linking is common in most such Plugin related threads...
However, there is an even easier way...
Use the SketchUcation "PluginStore" link above / or in the menu [you might have to (re)log in]
In the page's Search box type Fredo and Lib...
You then have a link to that Plugin's entry.
Click on the 'red' Download button and get the RBZ file.
Then use the Preferences > Extensions > Install Extension... button to auto-install it for you.
Restart SketchUp for it to become fully integrated with Fredo's other Plugins...
An alterbative would also be to download the SketchUcation PluginStore Toolset's RBZ, and install that.
Thereafter you can access and browse the vast contents of the PluginStore, then Auto-Install selected ones, without even having to do download the RBZ yourself... Having that toolset installed also gives you lots of other tools like Managers for all Extensions and all Plugins, Plugin UnInstaller, and Update reminders and 'Bundles' to span across SketchUp versions and computers etc etc... -
Thanks for download
