[Plugin Library] LibFredo6 - v14.6a - 18 Sep 24

oldswinger

Dear Fredo
I have downloaded the first 4 plugins from your Plugin Library list "Libfredo6 v4.3b - 22Dec11 but cannot get any toolbar icons appearing when I open my SU8Pro programme.
I note your Important Paragraph about the downloading of LibFredo6 in respect of the appearance of the plugin toolbars but inspite of following the download instructions precisely I can only access the 4 plugins via the entry "Fredo6 Collection" in the Tools menu.
I have ticked off the plugins Fredo Scale & Tools on Surface in the VIEW/TOOLBAR menu but Curiloft & Roundcorner are not shown in the dropdown menu.
I would be extremely gratefull if you could suggest where I am going wrong as without the plugin icons showing in the main toolbar it becomes rather difficult to use the plugins to their best advantage.
Best regards
OldSwinger

Fredo your plugin is awesome, but I can't use it! I run Skethcup Pro 7 on my Mac Book Pro. I've installed your plugin (LibFredo6 first, and then RoundCorner) following your detailed instructions; I thought it were an easy things to do, but they don't work!
Can you please help me?? I'll always be graitfull !!

It might come from the Unzip operation, which is a frequent problem, especially on Mac.
Please make sure that in the SU Plugins directory you have the right footprint, that is:

LibFredo6.rb
LIBFREDO6_Dir_43 folder
ROUNDCORNER_Dir_23 folder

Is the LibFredo6-34 supposed to stay in the di
rectory after extracting?

You should have a folder called "LIBFREDO6_Dir_43" and a file called "LibFredo6.rb" If you installed the current version you shouldn't have "LibFredo6-34" at all.

Well it was there, not now now it just shows 4.3

not sure if it is the LibFredo 4.3b or the BezierSpline 1.4f plugin, but if the LibFredo 4.3b is enabled, the BezierSpline 1.4f does not work. i get a Ruby console error for line 592 cannot convert nil to float.

Fredo tools works regardless of BezierSplines being enabled or not.
NOTE: I only encountered this error since updating to 4.3b and prior to that it was working correctly.

I think that I've installed LibFredo6 v.4.3 and the Round corner plugins correctly. But when I launch SketchUp (I'm using Version 7 on Mac OS 10.4.11) is get this error message: Error Loading File LibFredo6.rb
can't convert nil into String

What does this mean and how can I fix it? Can someone assist me.

Thanks!

I'm running SketchUp 7 on Mac OS 10.4.11. I've downloaded and installed both LibFredo6 v4.3 and Round Corner plugin and both are not working. When I start up SU7 I get the error message: "Error Loading File LibFredo6.rb
can't convert nil into String". I have no idea what this means. Can someone help?

Thanks a million!

Here is a screen shot of my plugins folder

Just in case, can you type ENV["TEMP"] in the Ruby Console and tell me what you see.

Thanks

I use
tempdir=ENV["TEMP"] ### it's a PC == 'TEMP' or 'TMP' tempdir=ENV["TMPDIR"] if not tempdir ### it's a Mac

thomthom

This is what I use to detect temp path:

TEMP_PATH = File.expand_path( ENV['TMPDIR'] || ENV['TMP'] || ENV['TEMP'] ).freeze

TIG,

Actually, my mistake. Yes indeed, I use TMPDIR for Mac environment (or /tmp which may be more secure)

@supercylon

Hello Fredo,

Thanks for your assistance. I did what you asked and here is a screenshot of the result.

I will release the change tomorrow as v4.3c

It is strange however that on your Mac, the TMPDIR Environment variable is not defined.

@TIG, Thomthom: I just use /tmp when TMPDIR is not defined.
