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

Caleb_Stanley

I keep getting an error message with the plugin ToolsOnSurface upon starting up SketchUp, I think it may have something to do with the new update but I am not sure.

The message reads:
"ToolsOnSurface 2.4a: Error starting up plugin (creating menus and icons)
invalid byte sequence in UTF-8 [in lib6config.rbe - #'===0: line 319]

c:/.../sketchup2019/sketchup/plugins/fredo6_!libfredo6/lib6core.rbe:1058:in 'rescue in block in effective_load_part2' "

Please help me understand if this is an issue with the new update or if there is some way I can fix it myself.

Thank you.

For whatever reason, the default parameters file for ToolOnSurface is corrupted or had its encoding changed.

This file should be in
C:/Users/<username>/AppData/Local/LIBFREDO6_DATA_Dir/DefaultParameters/ToolsOnSurface.def

The best is to delete this file. You will just reset the default parameters to their default values. LibFredo6 will recreate it if you change the Default parameters of ToolsOnSurface.

Do you have a similar problem with my other plugins, if you have any installed?

Hi

Firstly... the plug in is truly amazing, and on viewing the support videos we had a really workable poperty fly through in record short development time. Thank you very much.

Question : is there anyway you can render to chaos groups new cloud render service from animator ?
The ' render to cloud button' in vray next for SU is situated in the asset panel. We usually use their service for larger longer renders.

Thanks again

Rendering animations created by Animator from the Rendering Software is really something that is left to the developers of the rendering software. I have published an API for these rendering software to interact with Animator and render the frames in batch. So far, only Thea Render has implemented it.

I am not sure however there is enough traction for them to engage into these (small) developments.

Thank you, I will raise it with Chaos Group to see their thoughts. It would be an additional route to their new cloud render service. Animator seems to level the playing field in the 3DS Max versus Sketch up choice especially in the property development market, so the need for them to accomodate will hopefully increase.

Something seems to be wrong with the link on the SketchUCation extension store. When I tried to download LibFredo6 I get a file ending in .php, not rbz. This problem doesn't occur for any other extension I've tried to download. The problem exists in both Firefox and Chrome browsers.

Dave R

Hmmm... I just download it from the PluginStore and it downloaded with the .rbz extension.

What do you get when you use the Sketchucation Extension Store to download and install it?

Apparently it's some strange interaction with the Free Download Manager plug-in in Firefox (and Chrome). But what has me baffled is that it only affected LibFredo, but not any other extension I downloaded. But at least it's solved (for now).

Really got burned by g28 once - have avoided it ever since.

Dave R

I'm using Chrome with no problems.

What is g28 and what does it have to do with this?

The empty toolbar should have a tooltip when you hover over it.
What does it say ?
If you drag it onto the main work area can you see anything more ?

A little more detail would help us help you...

Can you clean and reinstall FredoTools instead.

TIG

I know that these kinds of errors have been seen before... and easily fixed by Fredo.
I think it involves temporarily deleting some preference file/folder, or removing an old/unneeded 'traductor' file...

But I'm sure Fredo will be along to advise you later, with the definitive answer...
