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

[br51]

Thank you Dave R.

I got the problem solved by removing the LibFredo6.plugin and correct all the permissions to the folders as you suggested. thanks!!

OK, no more error messages but I dun see the plugins that I installed like RoundCorner inside sketchup8.

They are not under any of the menu?!? I am on a Mac 10.8.

Help please..

I don't suppose you ticked the boxes in Preferences>Extensions, did you?

Hello,
i start having right click grey menu issue after installing the plugin!! any suggestions?

[TIG]

Have you installed the latest versions of all of Fredo's tools ?
Many many updates ago some of them were implicated in the old gray-out issue - by making multiple 'commands' each time they were used, but they were all fixed.
Also ensure your other tools are all up to date too - a few others had similar issues.
Although I know of no current versions of any tools that do this.
Also, are you using the latest SketchUp v8M4 ? A couple of SketchUp updates back it 'fixed' the old gray-out issue, by greatly increasing the number of 'commands' you can have loading.
Since that 'fix' there have been virtually no reports of a 'gray-out' happening.
So you must have many hundreds of Plugins loading at startup to aggravate it again ?
Perhaps adding this new tool has pushed you over this maximum new limit !
So it begs the question, why do you have so many tools loading every time you use SketchUp?
I suggest that you only load those 3rd party tools that you use regularly, and deactivate the more rarely used Extensions - you can always reactivate/deactivate them as and when you need them.
Some simple scripts aren't Extensions and probably don't make 'commands' anyway... other rarely used 'non-Extensions' that do create 'commands' can have their loader .rb file's file-type renamed - to say .rb! - and then they won't auto-load when SketchUp starts. Incidentally, you can always manually load any of these by typing into the Ruby Console load "xxxx.rb!" - where 'xxxx' the a particular tool's file-name.

Having fewer Plugins loading will also speed up the SketchUp startup sequence etc...
If none of the above applies please advise and we'll have to come up with some other ideas

Hi guys, slightly off topic but any idea about this?
I haven't changed anything I know of, it used to work fine.

Cheers, Baz.

PS: Great tip about putting help files in the DOCUMENTATION_Dir

Try updating LibFredo first.

[baz]

Hi Thomthom, do you mean 'libfredo6.rb

PS: I don't seem to be getting notifications at the moment, so pls excuse.

[TIG]

@Baz

No !
Get the whole and very latest LibFredo version, available from the first page and install it as directed.
The update fixes the issue you just reported, which is caused by the changes in the SCF setup a few weeks ago...

[baz]

Thanks Tig.

[BlueAngel4]

Any help

I'm a Mac user OSX 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion)

You seem to have resinstalled over a fresh SU version.

At least, you need to create the folder DEFPARAM_Dir manually (as indicated) because it cannot be done from the Ruby script for some security reasons.

[TIG]

Adjust your main 'plugins' folder security permissions to FULL [read/write] for ALL and have it trickle down to all contents, subfolders too...
Otherwise, you will forever be having issues installing tools into there, and also with some tools that need to write temp/log files, or to make their own subfolders etc in there...

[ByKAz]

Yes I had expecting some SU issues, and the SU support advice me to reinstall.
After that I became to have installations problem that I hadn't before, but I follow all Fredo's and TIG advice and looks like it works...

Thanks for all your support...

What are you talking about? What doesn't work with millimeters? The LibFredo06 files are, as described in the first post of this thread, just a shared library used by other plugins. Is it one of those plugins that you are having trouble with? I'll bet any money all of Fredo's plugins work in millimeters.

[slocraftus]

yep now i ve changed settings instead of 50 cm 0.5mm. anyway thanks
