TIG

Have you also installed the latest version of Fredo's Lib ?
Most of his tools require this.
It's also readily available from the PluginStore...

Also after installing any tools which use a Lib restart SketchUp to ensure everything gets properly synced...

I've tried several times to use the plugin you've developed, But everytime I download this'Libfredo6' extension and open sketchup pro, there's a 'Load Error' window saying

'Error Loading File Fredo6_!LibFredo6.rb
Error: #<ArgumentError: invalid byte sequence in UTF-8>
c:/users/오하경/appdata/roaming/sketchup/sketchup 2019/sketchup/plugins/fredo6_!libfredo6/top_libfredo6.rbe:52:in gsub' c:/users/오하경/appdata/roaming/sketchup/sketchup 2019/sketchup/plugins/fredo6_!libfredo6/top_libfredo6.rbe:52:in get_dir_from_ENV'

... and the plugins didn't work

How can I fix it?

It is your Korean Windows user-name.
Ruby used to fail with any text that was not pure ASCII [UTF-8], newer versions have some ways of forcing strings from different alphabets into usable UTF-8 formats.
Clearly things are failing in your case...
Can you try the following in your Ruby Console, and report back what it prints - it might help Fredo refine his code...

Copy/paste this code + <enter>
plugins = Sketchup.find_support_file('Plugins') puts plugins puts plugins.encoding

It should print the full path to your plugins folder, and also its encoding...

After installing LibFredo6_v9.4b, an error appears.

Dave R

Did you try restarting SketchUp?

markvladi

Yes. After selecting a template, the Bugsplat window crashes. The button "View report data" is not active. After removing the "Fredo6_! LibFredo6 folders" and "Fredo6_! LibFredo6.rb folders" from the plugin directory, SketchUp18 opens. When upgrading to SketchUp19, the same thing happens.

Dave R

When you installed SketchUp from the downloaded installer, did you right click on it and choose Run as administrator from the Context menu?

markvladi

Yes.

sh: /Users/Jonathan/Documents/Animator Videos/ffmpeg-4.2.2.cpgz: Permission denied
mac high sierra 10.13.6 I've followed countless tutorials to get ffmpeg installed properly, starting with libfredo6 for animator in sketchup. After downloading the zip and or package file from ffmpeg.org, I don't get the same results from the step by step tutorials. Even in terminal I'm getting unsuccessful responses to line commands at a certain point. I found animator very user friendly and edited a great technical video very efficiently. I'm stuck not being able to generate an mp4 video file to share on my website. Please help

fredo6

Did you see my answer in the Animator subforum?

I give a link to the latest version of FFmpeg for Mac.

This points to a zip file.
Extract the file 'ffmpeg' located in the zip archive under 'bin'
put this file somewhere on your Mac where it's convenient to you
In the Animator video, Click on the button 'locate FFMpeg' and point to this local file.

On SU 2018 the new update (with LibFredo v9.5b) is not preserving the guides.

Could you open the Ruby Console when you protect guides and then when you delete them, in order to see if there are error messages. Thanks.
