      It sounds to me as if you have it set to draw construction lines instead of edges. You ought to spend some time looking at the info here. Especially look at the Quickcard PDF file available in the first post of the thread.

            Please check for proper installation...

            BUT...

            I'm not sure if this is relevant...
            When SketchUp v2014 came in it should have fixed the issues with Windows users having accented characters in their user names.
            Unfortunately, it was found that sometimes it still failed in some circumstances...
            One issue was with a single-quote ['] in user names ! [like "B'Boss"]...
            BUT I thought this had been addressed in later versions...

            Also some "FILE" values etc fail if the result is not forced into UTF-8 encoding in the script itself - this is system dependent...

            Any SUp guys care to comment ?
            thomthom ??

              The prolem comes from the quote in the username, which clashes with string parsing.

              So not a non-ascii problem, but even worse, as I never thought quotes where allowed in usernames.

                User-names and folder paths with single quotes ['] are allowed e.g. "Rich_O'Brien" [but still ill-advised!] - BUT all double quotes ["] are prohibited on PC and MAC...
                As well as " - other prohibited path-name characters are /:|?¬* and an initial <space>, several others [like % and @] are best avoided...

                The ' did cause some SUp 'finding Plugins folder' issues, but I think they might be fixed...

                BUT any Ruby or JS string parsing should use "" around text to avoid the ' failures ?

                  Could you test the attached fix to see if this fixes the problem of your username with a quote.

                  Just drop the attached file in the folder Fredo6_!LibFredo6
                  Lib6Core.rb

                  Thanks

                  Fredo

                    No my Dear, your last release isn't 6.4a!!!! There are a mistake.
                    Take a look on your lib files and particularly the init file (you can read 6.3 and this cause error in Fredo6 updater), please!!!

                      I'm sure Fredo will comment... 😒

                      But in the files in the Lib folder, for my v6.4a there is no reference to 6.3 ?
                      Also there is no ' ini' file ??
                      What did you mean by that ?

                      The RB file in the Lib folder which sets the 'version' is:
                      'LibFredo6.plugin'
                      and that contains:
                      VERSION = 6.4a

                      The only place ' 6.3' is mentioned at all is in the version-checker in the loader RB itself [ Fredo6_!LibFredo6.rb] - which says:
                      "...UI.messagebox "You must install LibFredo6 version **6.3 or higher** to run #{f6__base}"..."

                      • and 6.4a is > 6.3 ?

                      Please be more specific with the nature of this report - no one else can see your issue...

                        Yes TIG,

                        When you download the LibFredo6 here: http://sketchucation.com/plugin/903-libfredo6
                        and you read the Fredo6_!LibFredo6.rb, you read:

                        (Name : Fredo6_!LibFredo6.rb

                        Original Date : 20 Aug 2008 - version 3.0

                        Type : Ruby Library

                        Description : Top loading module for all Library utilities of Fredo6's scripts

                        Usage : See Tutorial and Quick Ref Card in PDF format)

                        and
                        at the end:

                        (UI.messagebox "You must install LibFredo6 version 6.3 or higher to run #{f6__base}")

                        And in my SketchUp 2014, the Fredo6_updater tell me always to download the last release 6.4.
                        I make it with SU internal updater but always when I load SU, I Have always the 6.3a release: NO CHANGE!

                        Then I remove the script from my APPDATA folder and I download directly the rbz file on my desktop and I make the install with SU extension selector. BUT ALWAYS 6.3a release, NO CHANGE and always your addon that tell me to update the LibFredo6 plugin!!!!!

                          The best is to check the About box for LibFredo6. You probably have 6.4a installed.Tell me if otherwise and if you have problems with the plugins (if so the best is to show a snapshot of your plugin directory)

                          As TIG said, the message includes reference to 6.3 and higher, but this is normal.

                            I need help.
                            I successfully installed 6.4a LibFredo6
                            but the tools are not displayed on the toolbar, so how to use plugins in LibFredo6, how do these tools to display and use.
                            thank you!

                              Have you restarted SketchUp ?
                              What other Fredo tools are installed ?
                              Are there any errors as SketchUp starts, or in the Ruby Console ?
                              What is your Windows User-name ?
                              Does it contain an accented character ?

                              Please copy/paste this text into the Ruby Console + <enter>
                              Sketchup.find_support_file('Plugins')

                              The returned path is to your Plugins folder, and if >v2013 it will show your user-name in that path... e.g.
                              C:/Users/**TIG**/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2015/SketchUp/Plugins
                              Where ' **TIG**' is your user-name...

                                  Learn how to install Plugins...
                                  Since v8 you download an RBZ and install it using the Preferences > Extensions > Install... button
                                  This is basic SketchUp knowhow... here's a tutorial http://sketchucation.com/resources/tutorials/beginner/108-installing-sketchup-plugins
                                  It applies to v2015 although it is not so new !

                                  Almost all Plugins' RBZs hosted here... should work on all SketchUp versions and OSs... if there is a pre v2014 or OS issue it is usually highlighted in the Plugins notes...

                                  Download your Plugins from the SketchUcation PluginStore - linked above - or get and install the SketchUcation PluginStore Toolset - also linked above - which also lets you browse and AutoInstall directly from within SketchUp itself, with no intermediate downloading steps...

                                  You have somewhat obscurely posted in a 'Lib' thread...
                                  There are a few Plugins that need a supporting 'Lib' installing as well...
                                  The main ones being Fredo's and thomthom's - read the Plugin's thread about any 'helpers' it also needs...

                                    Thank you so much TIG. Now it works pretty fine! A last question. I used to work with "Multiple Push Pull " plug-in. I don't know if it is possible to find it here for SU 2015 for Mac because I don't find it nowhere here. Thanks in advance !

                                        Actually "Multiple Push Pull " it's a plug-in which extrude at the same time more than 1 faces in one shoot. I`ve already loaded this " Joint push pull" but it doesn't extrude like the another one, does it?. I have the plug-in but it has the .rb extension. So I don't know how to load it on a Mac in SU 2015, any help about it would be pretty useful, thanks in advance !

                                          To manually install a lone .RB file you can do the following...
                                          In the Ruby console type: Sketchup.find_support_file('Plugins')
                                          It returns the path to your Plugins folder.
                                          Use the path to open that folder, and add a copy of the lone .RB file into that folder...
                                          On older SketchUp versions you might need to ensure that the folder [and its contents] has FULL read/write permissions... BUT in v2015 that should already be set correctly.
                                          Restart SketchUp to load the new .RB...

                                          Alternatively make a ZIP file containing the .RB and use the SketchUcation submenu 'Archive Installer' which works on ZIPs as well as RBZs: no need to restart as it is auto-installed AND loaded.
                                          OR change the file ending from .ZIP to .RBZ and than use the native Preferences > Extensions > Install... button [or of course the SketchUcation equivalent auto-installer]: again no need to restart.

                                          TIG
