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?

TIG

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.

Could you tell what are those errors (maybe a snapshot of the message dialogbox)

Hi guys,

my libfredo6 toolbars have stopped working. Am using Win10 and SK2017, everything working fine until yesterday. As of today my Roundcorner and Fredoscale toolbars do nothing. They appear as always, but clicking does nothing. I've restarted, reinstalled, updated, backdated, etc to no avail. Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Mrplease

how i fix it?

SU 2016

TIG

Fredo will reply definitively, in due course...

However, I suspect that it is the user-name which is causing the issues...
"Fırat Aneyzi"
I guess it is Turkish - where the non-dotted "ı", as opposed to the final dotted "i", is used for the "uh" sound, instead of the "ee" sound...
But using proper UTF8 encoding [as Fredo does?] should trap for such things [we know that older SketchUp versions failed because of this non-standard characters, but the newer version are much more robust !]

Fredo ???

fredo6

I don't think this is the username, except for old versions of SU.

Sometimes, Sketchup cannot read the rbs/rbe file. This seems to come from an installation done without adminsitrator rights.
In general, a reinstallation of SU would solve the problem.

Fredo

TIG

Thanks Fredo.
Perhaps the odd-characters in the user-name are a "red-herring".

For the avoidance of doubt...

On a PC the only correct way to install any application like SketchUp...

Close that version of SketchUp, if necessary.***
You must then find the SketchUp installer's exe file - it's usually in your "Downloads" folder.
Select its icon.
Right-click > Context-menu >
"Run as administrator"
When prompted choose "Repair".
Let it complete the installation.
When you restart SketchUp it should work properly.

***If it's a new installation [e.g. you have previously uninstalled it, or it's just brand-new] the offered installer's option will just be "Install"...
