[Plugin Library] LibFredo6 - v14.9a - 06 Dec 24

Dave R

Frodo,

I am using sketchup pro 2016, and I dont find extension manager menu in my windows bar. Can you guide me how to get it?

Look in Preferences>Extensions for Install Extension. Best to install the Sketchucation Extension Store from Resources at the top of the page and use it to install LibFredo6 and other extensions.

Good day Fredo, I'm VERY new to SketchUp so please bear with me. I have watched the video wrt installing plug-ins/extensions and am happy that I'm doing it correctly. When I start SketchUp I get this error message for both v7.6 and 7.7:

Error Loading File Fredo6_!LibFredo6.rb
Error: #<NameError: uninitialized constant LibFredo6_Loader::LibFredo6>
C:/Users/Main/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2016/SketchUp/Plugins/Fredo6_!LibFredo6.rb:63:in process' C:/Users/Main/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2016/SketchUp/Plugins/Fredo6_!LibFredo6.rb:70:in module:LibFredo6_Loader'

"Aidez moi s'il vous plait"
Kind Regards,

Joe,

Looks like you have a wrong installation.

Could you please show the footprint (i.e. files and folders) in your Sketchup Plugin directories, that is:
C:/Users/Main/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2016/SketchUp/Plugins

Thanks

Fredo

In the Sketchup PluginDirectory, you should have 2 folders and 2 ruby files; just remove them!

RoundCorner - Footprint.png

You have two other methods, in case this is just for deactivation:

In the Sketchup Extension Manager, just uncheck LibFredo6 and RoundCorner
The Sketchucation Extension Store plugin also allows to disable / enable plugin.

Bonjour,
Quand je fais de tout petits modèle (des composant électroniques), l'outil arrondi me fait des trous aux angles. Par exemple si je dessine une brique de 8 x 14 x 10 mm et que je fais des arrondis de 0,3 mm ça me fait des trous dans tous les coins.
J'ai mis sur le modèle une précision à 4 chiffres après la virgule, et 2 pour les angles et j'ai démarré avec le modèle "Documentation de construction en mm" Sous la dernière version de sketchup make (17.2.2555 64 bit).
Merci
Frank

With these very small dimensions, Sketchup is not always able to create faces.

So the trick is to scale up the model by a factor like 10, perform the RoundCorner rounding and then scale back down.

LibFredo doesn't have a toolbar so you wouldn't see any icons. LibFredo is a collection of helper files used with a number of Fredo's other extensions.

I have been trying for 2 weeks, off and on, to down load anything from LibFredo6 into window 2017. I have disabled add blocking and still get nothing. Also FYI Sketchup make 2017 does not have a plugin folder.

I would sure like to try the scale tool and the round corners. Howver I'm not going to continue to attempt the down load with out furter suggestions from you.

Sincerly,

How have you been attempting to get it?

FYI, yes it does have a Plugins folder. It is in a location that is normally hidden but if extensions are installed correctly, there's no need for direct access to it by the user.

Again, how are you going about trying to install it?

Almost all Extensions download as RBZ files.
This is a special kind of ZIP file.
Sketchup's menu item Window > Extension Manager opens a dialog that allows you to manage you extensions.
It has a red button to 'Install an Extension'.
Use that and find the RBZ in the dialog which opens, and Sketchup will automatically install the contents for you in your user Plugins folder.
You rarely need to manually access this hidden folder.

Are you actually managing to download something ?

If you have got it tried putting the RBZ in some other location, or have manually added a Plugins folder I recommend you undo those erroneous actions.

If you are having issues downloading from the SketchUcation PluginStore there could be several issues blocking you...
Are you logged in ?
Sometimes you may be logged in to the main forums but the PluginStore wants a separate login.
You have an ad-blocker running on SketchUcation's pages - this is expressly against the terms of service you agreed to as a member. A modest income from ads helps pay for the up keep of the site and servers etc, you don't need to read the linked ads, but the advertisers expect them to be visible to members...
Another possible issue is that your firewall is blocking SketchUcation.com - if so 'whitelist' it.
Another weird possibility is that you have something set to download and extract ZIPped files automatically - which is useless for an RBZ because Sketchup expects the contents to be intact...

Also note that Lib files like this container 'helpers' for other programs, on its own LibFredo does nothing - you need to also install one or more of Fredo's Extensions for it to be of use to you...

Thanks for the reply TIG. I have tried all of the above, I think. The extension manager shows the plug ins there however When I start Sketchup 2017 make I get all kinds of error messages about not being able to read a bunch of files. I have even tried re-installing sketchup and still I get nothing. I'll get rid of every thing I have tried and then start over using your instructions.
