Hi Fredo, please, how to install LibFredo to a different folder? I have installed the AdditionalPluginFolder, created another folder for plugins, but a guess I need .zip file to install LibFredo6 to that folder. I can see only .rbz file in download and I don't know, how to change destination plugin folder in Sketchup 2018 extention manager. Thanx for help!

Unfortunately the native Extension Manager of Sketchup does not propose alternate directories.

The Sketchucation PluginStore does and should be the solution for your configuration.

Otherwise, you have to rename the rbz as .zip, and then extract the file and folder manually in the alternate directory.

The best would be to clean up and reinstall LibFredo6.

HI, IM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE ,,, DID YIOU RESOLVE THE ISSE ??? ANY ADVICE WOULD BE MUCH HELP AN appreciated

[fredo6]

@jjbrown,

Where did you get the RBZ from for LibFredo6 ?

Fredo

[TIG]

Get the Lib from here: https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=LibFredo6
Then install it using the SketchUp > Window > Extension Manager dialog "Install Extension" red-button...

Also ensure that the installed extensions show as 'enabled' in the dialog.
Unless you have your Extension Manager's Loading-policy set to 'Unrestricted' you might have issues with older extensions - however, because Fredo's tools are up to date and properly 'signed' that should NOT be an issue... but perhaps try that just in case ?

Remember that the Lib on its own does little, but it vitally supports many of Fredo's other extensions.
Also after its installation [and those of any related extensions], then please close SketchUp and restart it to ensure that the Lib and its related extensions get fully registered and synced.

Hello all

I am having a problem with the toolbar visualisation. I can't find it anywhere. I have installed properly the plugin as seen in fredo's installation tutorial but it doesn't show up on my toolbar list

Any ideas?

LibFredo6, which is simply a shared library, does not have any toolbar and does not do anything alone.
You need to install another of my plugins (like RoundCorner, FredoScale, ...) to see a toolbar for these plugins.

It would be useful to know what 'does not work'.

Hello,

V8.4g didn't work well in my pc too.
My sketchup versions are 2018pro and 2014pro, and both of them don't work well.

This is error message. Sorry for two-byte text for I use Japanese version....
First line is just noticing error.

I wondered that this occurs because of my two-bite code user dir name(which automatically named when I installed win10),
but when I use older version libFredo, This problem didn't occur.

Does this helps you?

[GHira]

By way of experiment, I made new windows user named alphabetical, and I newlly installed libfredo. then my probrem on this plugin was solved, It seems to be work well.

Sorry for my impatience and Thanks for wonderfull plugin...

[fredo6]

@GHira,

Definitely the error comes from your 2-bytes Windows username.

Your profile indicates that you use Sketchup 2014. Is that correct?

If so, then I suggest you move to Sketchup Make 2017 or Sketchup Pro 2018, which have a better support of Unicode in Ruby.

I'm having a similar issue with Curviloft (see attached image).
Perhaps there is a conflict with VRay? Was trying to troubleshoot why my toolbars wouldn't save their position. Ended up uninstalling / reinstalling plug-ins and received the Curviloft 1.7d: Error starting up plugin (creating menus and icons) error as well as a "lib6core.rbe:1058:in 'rescue in block in effective_load_part2" error.

Sorry, I just realized that the max size for an image is 2MB and 1600 px. I resized it here.
