[Plugin Library] LibFredo6 - v15.4d - 14 Aug 25

If you shared your OS etc in your User-profile details it helps us to help you...
Sounds like Alan's is right.
The inability to make the folder suggests that you have limited security permissions to the Plugins folder.
[Re]Set them to FULL for every one listed.BUT the missing file in the next message suggests that you have not properly installed the Lib folder etc...
This might be a mistake in the way you have extracted/installed it, OR it might look like it looks like it's installed OK, but in fact the dread Windows 'Compatibility Files' VirtualStore has kicked in to save you from yourself [resetting permissions to full for the Plugins folder should stop it recurring but you need to sort out the mess it made before the fix!]... This has been discussed endlessly in many threads... -
Jeeze, thanks guys! I'm afraid I posted waaaayyy too fast before I read the most recent posts! I've been struggling with an upgrade to win 8 and will dive into the permissions issue (and reinstalling) to hopefully correct the issue. Thanks for the quick response and great plugins...

This is the 'LibFredo6' thread - but you talk about 'fredo tools'.
The FredTools page is at http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=373073#p373073
BUT they do need this latest Lib installed too...
Have you installed that toolset AND the Lib ?The FredTools page has detailed usage notes... what is it that you can't do

Have you restarted SketchUp after installing Fredo Tools ?
It should appear as submenu of various tools in the Tools menu ??Some complex tool installs need a restart to complete the install...

Hello. Please help. I tried installing this plugin but can't work fine.
It's always error."Cannot load plugin LibFredo6 because script cannot create DEFPARAM_Dir folder in:
C:/Program Files/SketchUp/SketchUp 2013/Plugins
Please create it manually, respecting the case."Anyone have a solution?

Yes. The solution has been given repeatedly including on this page of the thread. You need to set the permissions for the Plugins folder to give full access for everyone.

NEW RELEASE: LibFredo6 v5.0c - 06 Jul 13
LibFredo6 5.0 is a major technical release that implements new naming conventions for files and folders. The objective is to become more compliant with new ways to install plugins (SCF Plugin Store, Extension Warehouse, Extension Manager), noting that the new direction for SU 2013 / 2014 is to provide a more solid framework for plugins.
For LibFredo6, the footprint is based on one file and one subfolder:
For my scripts, new naming conventions are also based on one file and one subfolder. For instance, RoundCorner footprint will become:
For convenience, LibFredo6 5.0 is compatible with the old and new naming conventions. So if you have FREDOSCALE_Dir_23 folder, it will be loaded normally (until I publish the new version based on Fredo6_FredoScale_24 and Fredo6_FredoScale.rb).
The new version of LibFredo6 also stores Default Parameters in a location which is more likely to have Write access on all machines:
- on Windows, under the Local user Application Data directory
- on Mac, under the User Application Support directory
I hope the transition will go without too much problem. Thanks in advance to all kind users for signaling issues.
See main post of this thread for Download.

What is the compatibility w/ older versions of Sketchup?

Same. Should work from SU5 to SU13 on Windows and Mac.

Thank you.
I asked only because the post announcing the update said like "For SU2013", leaving an implication that it was to be used only with SU2013.

I just noticed that in version 4.7 the folder was "LIBFREDO6_DIR_47" and the new one is "LIBFREDO6_50" was this supposed to be "LIBFREDO6_DIR_50"? Because when I install it my plugins still show 4.7 and if I remove the 4.7 folder none of the Fredo tools show up?
edit: I just tried to rename the folder but then it spits out a LOT of errors so I believe the original one is right, but for some reason none of the Fredo6 plugins load after this.
edit again: so I reinstalled Fredo6_50 and Sketchup stills thinks I have 4.7 installed and wont let me use TopoShaper. I've tried to reinstall Fredo 5.0 both manually and via the Store.

Rob,
Most probably, you did not overwrite the file LibFredo6.rb with the new version. If you run the old one, then it will stick to the old naming conventions, whereas the new LibFredo6.rb supports the old and the new.
The naming conventions have changed, for LibFredo6 but also for my plugins (first one published is RoundCorner 2.4, as Fredo6_RoundCorner.rb and Fredo6_RoundCorner_24 folder). All this is to become more compliant with a cleaner management of plugins that are now boosted by the new installation tools, SCF Plugin Store and, potentially Extension WareHouse.
Unless you have a good reasons not to do so, I would suggest you install the SCF Plugin Store tool and then install LibFredo6 from within Sketchup with this great tool.
Fredo
