Which toolbar can't you get to display?

The fredo sub menu under window. I've PM'd Fredo who has been kind enough to reply but so far I've not got to the bottom of it. I do have podium installed and fredo suggest it could be a clash with that?

Thanks for the reply Dave

Dave R

Ah. I see. You said you couldn't get a toolbar to show which is confusing since it isn't a toolbar but a menu entry. So did you try disabling Podium and did that fix it?

Hi,
I know this might sound silly but I'm new to this and am having trouble with downloading the plug ins.. I want to download round corners and I thought in order to do so I needed to install the LibFred06. When it goes to download and I need to unzip it I DO NOT have a Sketchup Plugins folder option... How do I go about installing this? What do I do...
Thank You

TIG

You do have a Plugins folder - unless you have deleted it.
It's automatically made by the Sketchup installation - it contains example scripts etc...
You will not have a Plugins Menu displayed unless you have some scripts 'active'.
Copy/Paste+<enter> this line of code into the Ruby Console [open that from Sketchup's Window menu] - it will display the path to the Plugins folder on you installation.

Sketchup.find_support_file("Plugins")

For a PC it's typically:
C:/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins
Make sure you have FULL security access permissions [set via properties] for all of your Sketchup folder's subfolders and their contents...

I see you have v8 - with recent versions you could install archived tools using the Window>Preferences>Extensions 'load' button - BUT note that the archive needs to have a .rbz file suffix.
Thomthom has made a SimpleInstaller that does something similar, but also works on .zip archives and .rb/.rbs single files - automatically finding the Plugins folder and extracting files etc for you...
Find that in the Plugins Index - however you do need to put that into the Plugins folder and restart for it to auto-load, so we need to track down where that is...

kersnyc

I tried typing Sketchup.find_support_file("Plugins") into the Ruby Console and nothing is happening?!!!!what do i do now?

TIG

Looks like you'll have to reinstall Sketchup - as an Admin - it should then make all missing folders/files etc.
Before that post a screen shot of your Sketchup folder showing the subfolders that you do have...
It's just weird.

What do you mean "nothing is happening"
If you type the command in the Ruby console (and press Return) you always get an answer.

Fredo

kersnyc

I didn't get an answer.

TIG

If you type [or copy/paste] the full text into the Sketchup Menu > Window > Ruby Console and press <enter> to confirm it, you will always get something returned as the answer !
So typed correctly:
Sketchup.find_support_file("Plugins")
C:/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins
Typed incorrectly [i.e. not an initial capital 'S']:
sketchup.find_support_file("Plugins")
*Error: #<NameError: undefined local variable or method sketchup' for main:Object> (eval):155* Typed incorrectly another way [i.e. without a final 's']: Sketchup.find_support_file("Plugin")`
nil
So even if the file/folder you are looking for doesn't exist you will get 'nil'
Can't you do the folders screen-shot I mentioned before?
You seem to be making very heavy-weather of this

kersnyc

Hi,
I have attached a print of the screen...

Dave R

But you did get an answer, Keryn. The answer was

"C:/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins"

You got that answer three times.

TIG

Hooray!
You do have a Plugins folder after all
Find that 'Plugins' folder [navigate your folders using Windows-Explorer...] and put the script/subfolder-of-files that ship inside the zip into it.
Check that the added files are really in the folder - I know your profile says XP but you might have changed? and Vista/Win7 can sometimes put such things into a side-folder IF you are not an Admin or have insufficient security permissions.
The subfolders inside the Sketchup folder should all have FULL permissions of you as you will from time to time want to add files into them...
Once the file/subfolder is in place restart Sketchup and everything should then work.

hi I need to install the fredo 6 plugin for round corners and unlike other plugins where its just been a simple drag and drop into the plugins folder. this download seems to be full of lots of files and I am not sure which ones to put in the plugins folder!!! I am not very computer savvy when I read the installation instructions (im on a mac) it said:

Unzip ‘RoundCorner 2.0.zip', by doing a Select All and then Extract in the Plugins
directory of Sketchup, answering YES to all prompts for file overwriting, in order to
make sure you reconstruct the folder hierarchy. NEVER change the name of files or
move them from their folder. The footprint should be (Windows environment):

I have no idea what I should do!! can anyone plese help

Dave R

All of the files in the ZIP file should go into the Plugins folder but they need to maintain the same footprint as they have when you open the ZIP file. Fredo has outlined this very clearly in his first post of this thread. Go back and look at that. It's really quite simple and you should wind up with a folder and a Ruby file when they get installed.

Thanks for the reply, however I mean to stress I dont know what un-zipping files means. the file on my desktop is a blue folder. I open that and I have a .rb script and another blue folder. I open that and its filled with loads of .rb scripts, some pdfs some pngs and more blue folders with more pdfs and pngs. So waht do you do from here. I tried dragging the whole folder over into my plugins folder and when I opened sketchup it had a warning error loading plugins message, so I closed SU, went back to plugins folder and moved the file back to my desktop. I then tried moving all the .rb files over and got the same message when I opened SU. So again I removed all the files and put them back in the blue folder on the desktop. I then deleted the files and tried downloading the plugin again. It is then that I saw you need the additional lib fredo 6 plugin. i downloaded this first and was confronted with the same problem, I have a blue folder inside which there is a .rb script and another blue folder containing a mass of .rb scripts, png, pdfs etc. I gave up at this point!!!!
normally I am used to just dragging one .rb script across the plugins folder and it works.

So to reiterate my point what is unzipping? and what items do i drag over?.
I did read the instructions fully several times and they make no sense unless you are fluent in computer speak. which I am not I am a complete philistine so I need laymans terms if possible.

thanks

Dave R

Stop right there. Copy the file and the folder to the Plugins folder and you're finished.

"Zipping" is a method of compressing files so they are smaller for transferring from one computer to another. Unzipping is decompressing. By opening the ZIP file on your Mac you are gaining access to the files inside and that is enough.
