[Plugin Library] LibFredo6 - v14.7a - 09 Nov 24

I'm not so sure it belongs to the API. Any API design book will argue against adding too much stuff. These things are very system dependent and doesn't relate to the domain of SketchUp itself.
That being said - it's probably something that would be good to have in a repository of examples. Almost like a library - I say almost because a library would have the issue of dependencies. But using pattern which exist elsewhere - by having dependency/library managers that will pull packages into your extension project and install it to your extension namespace. Something that would encourage more sharing and collaboration among SU devs. Sure, we help each other on the forums - but we reinvent the wheel a lot. When we look at other dev communities there is a much better infrastructure of sharing code packages and development tools.
This kind of infrastructure would provide a foundation of creating reusable bundles that we can all build upon. That's where stuff like these system specific wrappers fit in.
APIs are minimal and much less flexible. Libraries are higher level abstractions that should be much more adaptable and easier to update and release.
Got some ideas that I want to try out. Stay tuned.

So you don't see the links in the first post?

Install the sketchucation store plugin from Resources at the top of the page and you'll be able to install and manage many plugins from there.

Thanks guys.
Have to say nicely hidden though about the smallest text on the page....
Dunn why I was expecting a big download button

Thanks again

All that large bold print is too small? Maybe Fredo will have to make it larger.

I keep getting the same Message: LibFredo6 will be updated at the next startup...
I have already changed the permissions and took ownership of the whole Sketchup folder. After that message the SketchUcation Toolset one appears. The extension and plugins manager won't open, but the store was updated properly. LibFredo seems to be up to date as well and I can open its windows. I am still on Sketchup 8 btw.

What tools are you trying open? Please be specific. LibFredo6 is a package of support files that many of Fredo6's tools are dependent upon but it isn't useful by itself.

I reinstalled the whole set after manually removing them from the plugins folder, same message pops up, but now the tools do not work, non of the windows open. What am I doing wrong?

Why do you think it is not free?

There is no charge for this although you can make a donation to Fredo6 for his hard work.

Dear Fredo ,
I have tried to upgrade to libfredo6 - v6.9b and although it appears to work I get this message upon opening my skp(pro15):

/Users/richard/Desktop/Screen Shot 2016-02-29 at 3.12.28 PM.png

What does it mean: What am I missing?
Thanks in advance,

Richard

@rstanley,

You seem to have a possible mess in the Plugins directory, as the footprint for LibFredo6 is not correct.

Did you install manually?

It would be good that you show the content of the Plugin directory so that we can help

Getting this now when loading existing projects. What do I do to fix it?

The error is not relating to this plugin per se.
It is simply reporting an error loading the SketchUcation Toolset.
It's because you have a very old version of SketchUp.
The current Toolset is written/encrypted to suit newer versions of SketchUp, and signed for full compatibility with v2016.
I have sent you an alternative loader file that will work...
Look in your Private Messages and follow the instructions I give there...

Bonjour,

Je cherche désespérément le lien pour télécharger la version v6.9b de la librairie.
Pouvez vous m'aider à la trouver ?
Merci par avance,

Patrick !
