This is a wrong installation. Please read the the post and PDF documentation where you have the footprint of the plugin. basically, you should never copy or rename files manually. Just unzip the provided archive into the Sketchup Plugins folder. It should create ONE folder (FREDOSCALE_DIR_20 and ONE small file ZLoader_Fredoscale.rb. same for LibFredo6 (LIBFREDO6_Dir_34 and LibFredo6.rb)

Hi I'm a Mac osx Leopard user and I proceed with the download and the installation following the manual and after done I can't see the LibFredo settings on the SU Windows menu.
Anybody have experienced the same, have some different trick for Mac users installation?
Thanks.I found what I'm doing wrong, first of all after install the LibFredo i was trying to open on SU windows menu, no way... You must need install another Fredo plugin to work the LibFredo, After I realize that I go ahead and install FredoScale, after download both you have to copy/paste in both cases the folders (LibFredo6_Dir_34 and Fredoscale_Dir_20) and the (LibFredo6.rb and Zloader_Fredoscale.rb) inside the MacHD/Library,Application Support/GoogleSketchup7/plugins/
But the trick is that both file.rb need to be inside its respective folders.
After I did it, I open the SU and there it is, both working properly...
The FredoScale is really good, Thanks Fredo! -
guys i've tried installing it a thousand times and no use! i'm moving the folder LIBFREDO6_Dir_34 & file LibFredo6.rb to /Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 7/SketchUp/plugins
when i open sketchup the plugin is nowhere to be found..what am i doing wrong!? I'm on a Mac 10.6.3 and sketchup version 7 (7.0.8656)

emperorgus,
If you figure it out let me know how you did, I've been trying on and off for weeks and I can't figure out what file goes where or what file to install first, or what pdf has the bit of needed information you need to get this plugin to work.
This may be the best plugin ever, but it's also the worst set of install instructions ever.

You did not do the right unzip operation. And Anyway, you do not have to move individual files manually.
In the Sketchup Plugins folder you should only have- LibFredo6.rb
- LIBFREDO6_Dir_34 folder
- ZLoader__FredoScale.rb
- FREDOSCALE_Dir_20 folder
This may have to do with your unzip program or your web browser.
I would suggest that you unzip in a neutral place, check that you reconstruct the files and folders with the correct hierarchy and then copy the 2 files and 2 folders manually to the Sketchup Directory.
Also, have a look at the PDF documentation where the installation is described in more details than in the post.Fredo

I have done every steps in the tutorial pdf file but It still doesn't work. I'm using Google sketchup pro 7.0.
-
I've tried what you proposed two times (once using safari and the other time using firefox)
and i only have these two file/folder :LibFredo6.rb
LIBFREDO6_Dir_34 folderi don't see these two anywhere :
ZLoader__FredoScale.rb
FREDOSCALE_Dir_20 folderThx for the answer!! maybe i'm just too dumb to make it work...
I will try again...
Thx for ur work i'm sure it's great... -
Sorry emperorgus, but have you read the first post of this thread and the PDF manual
This plugin do nothing by itself, it works in association with Fredo's plugins like Fredoscale, Round corner etc. So your two file/folder download of LibFredo is correct, BUT you need to download also the plugin you're interested in.
As Fredo wrote in this thread:
@unknownuser said:LibFredo6 is shared between several of my plugins. It provides a lot of basic functions (for instance the button palette management, the translation, and a large part of the interactive tools).
But for the user, it does not do anything by itself, unless used by the real plugins. -

Ok, I don't know exactly what's wrong but I am guessing it has to do with memory (undo/redo interference?) and/or interference with other functions. As I posted before, when I have this library active (the loader is in plugins), my flip, rotate, and group tools gradually become greyed out. The "greying-out" happens a lot faster on bigger models.
This can happen when I don't use any library functions, either.
I think the greying out of menus may happen anyway. I have seen a bug report about this issue in SU7 and 7.1
To all users : is this something you experience as well, and is it in relation with LibFredo6?Fredo
Greetings Fredo,
I can't wait to try these great new tools (TOS, etc.) ... the buttons and menu items are there ... but they are all GREYED-OUT (caps for emphasis only ... not yelling!) ... I've reviewed the pdf's and the posts for clues ... all the required folders are there in the right place (under Sketchup plugins folder) ... I've shut-down and restarted Sketchup multiple times ... to no avail. Will try stripping the plugins folder of everything except your stuff and see what happens. Please advise when you have a moment.
Thanks very much,

Are you referring to the main toolbar and the main menus? If so this would be very strange, because there is no mechanism to gray them out in my plugins.
If you have a picture, it would help understand.Thanks

FredThe issue of loosing some right-click context-menu items [i.e. they get "greyed-out"] is a known bug with more recent versions of SketchUp - Google are being pressed to fix it...
Its cause is not wholly established, although having lots of plugins that make context-menu items and repeated clicking on objects seem to both trigger it - separately or together !
All of a context-menu's items still appear correctly under the last item in the main Edit Menu - so you can access them this way if the worst happens...
The only 'fix' is to save and restart SUp - then you should get back the context-menu, albeit momentarily.
Don't load plugins you aren't ever going to use - they increase the load and might just be the 'last-straw...' - move them out of the Plugins folder or rename them from.rbto.txt- that way you can always load them during a session by typing in the Ruby Consoleload"the_script_name.txt"...

[CRITICAL Upgrade - 6 May 10 - 23:55 CET - Bug fixing for the menu gray-out issue]
see http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=28135#p244052
Thanks to the clarifications brought up by jhauswirth, TIG and Thomthom about this ennoying problem, it is confirmed that LibFredo6 contributes to accelerate the apparition of the problem. Also included is a revised Spanish translation by Defisto.
So it is strongly advised that you upgrade to version 3.4c WHETHER YOU USE MY SCRIPTS OR NOT or disable my scripts in the menu Preferences > Extensions.For those who wants to have some details, the issue is that LibFredo6 may create Command objects everytime you use a contextual menu and never release them, whereas the maximum limit for SU is 1,000 commands. So everytime you right-click in the SU selection tool, you get closer to the limit where menus will start graying.

Thanks Fredo for fixing this so quickly. It's hard to even use sketchup without your tools.
-
Yes, thanks indeed

Fredo, your latest script lib v 3.4c completely greys out my right -click options as early as sketchup start up on 7.1 win XP. help?

Have you put it [and its related files] in the Plugins folder inside its own folder ?

Confirmed all files are in the proper placement. works fine without the "libfredo.rb" file, but with it as soon as i load sketchup and first action is right-click on sang all right click options are greyed out
