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

I don't know what happened during the installation, but there is clearly a problem in a few files which lost their UTF8 encoding.

Could you try the following

Open the Ruby Console

copy the following command in red and type Enter:
UI.openURL LibFredo6.path + '/Ancillary'

This will open a subfolder of LibFredo6

Delete the file Colors_RAL_classic.txt

restart Sketchup to see if this improves the situation

Otherwise, delete all files with names beginning with Colors_ and extension txt.

Then restart Sketchup to see if this improves the situation.

I did try to copy the following command in red and type Enter:
UI.openURL LibFredo6.path + '/Ancillary'

Result:

UI.openURL LibFredo6.path + '/Ancillary'
false

I did however, go to that folder in 'Finder' and Delete the file Colors_RAL_classic.txt - restarted and no change.
I then deleted all files with names beginning with Colors_ and extension txt. - restarted and tried to use the only PlugIn installed: ToolsOnSurface - result:

Error: #<ArgumentError: invalid byte sequence in UTF-8>

What is left in the directory?

Just type in the Ruby console:
Dir[LibFredo6.path + '/Ancillary/*.*']

Nothing is left in the directory...?

No change after typing the above.

Did you define a custom color file?

If so, do you remember where you save it?

In the Ruby Console, could you type

Traductor::Marshall.new.decode(Traductor::Registry.load "Fredo6_ColorFan_Custom")

This should be the list of custom color files.

THANK YOU!!!!

In ColorPaint, you are supposed to load only plain text file (tabular value of colors: name, R, G, B), not images or material.

Understood. I didn't even know that I had done that...!? Thanks again!

How did you install LibFredo6?

Copying files?

Sketchup Extension manager from a rbz

Sketchucation ExtensionStore?

It seems one file is altered.

Tried all 3 with full uninstalls in between each. Sadly no luck.

Success! Running a repair on the sketchup installation seemed to fix it!

Bonjour à tous,

Je viens d'installer l'extension FredoTools via le gestionnaire d'extension,
Elle apparait bien dans mon gestionnaire d'extension mais nul part ailleurs ?
Je ne peut donc pas l'utiliser.

Il ya t-il une raison ou une manip particulière à effectuer ?

Je suis sur SketchUp 21pro

Merci d'avance

TIG

Have you also installed LibFredo ?
Have you restarted SketchUp ?
Have you looked in the Tools menu's submenus ?

Avez-vous également installé LibFredo?
Avez-vous redémarré SketchUp?
Avez-vous regardé dans les sous-menus du menu Outils [Tools]?

I'm seeing some UI problems, specifically buttons at the bottom of various dialog boxes being completely washed out. I'm on MacOS Big Sur.

I don't have this problem in other applications, only here in SketchUp and with these dialog box buttons.
Any thoughts? Is it a SketchUp thing, an extension thing, or an OS thing?

Please see image examples.

Thanks.

Thanks for signaling this problem. You are the first one.

Big Sur seems to be a master in term of non-backward compatibility, at least for Sketchup...!

I will see if I can find a workaround in a next version of LibFredo6.

Hello LibFredo6,

I recieved your message showing me your Pic2Shape plugin.
I tried it with a couple of images and it works great.
However, I would like to use this for cutting out the contours of 2D trees, so i can cast a more realistic shadow.
And here I ran into some troubles.
For complex trees (with a lot of tiny holes between the branches) the plugin says he can't generate any contours.
I wonder if you could help me with the right filter settings so that the plugin can still work ?

I attached a tree (png) that doesn't generate a boundary when using the plugin.

All the png trees i'm using are available (for free) as high quality PNG’s with transparent background from this website : https://meye.dk/info/

Many thanks in advance !

Since this thread is about LibFredo6, I created a dedicated thread here.

Very efficient plugin thank you.

The only issue is that the colour of action icons are extremely difficult to read against the white background.
I am using SUP2021 on a MacBoo pro 2018 running under MacOS Mojave.

Is it just me or a common issue that could be resolved easily on the developer's end?

Thank you.
