I use
tempdir=ENV["TEMP"] ### it's a PC == 'TEMP' or 'TMP' tempdir=ENV["TMPDIR"] if not tempdir ### it's a Mac

TIG,

Actually, my mistake. Yes indeed, I use TMPDIR for Mac environment (or /tmp which may be more secure)

@supercylon
Can you type ENV["TMPDIR"] in the Ruby console

Fred

I didn't notice this message, here is the screen shot of the result of your second request.

I will release the change tomorrow as v4.3c

It is strange however that on your Mac, the TMPDIR Environment variable is not defined.

@TIG, Thomthom: I just use /tmp when TMPDIR is not defined.

It's difficult for me to diagnose on this platform which I don't have.
I think there are a few users running Sketchup on Linux flavors, and they may help you to troubleshoot.

I ran into some trouble when I placed this plugin in the SU plugin folder. I thought this solution might help others.

"LibFredo6 4.3c - 31 Jan 12" is the name of the folder that I unzipped and I placed in my plugins folder. But that didn't work. You have to drag the contents of the "LibFredo6 4.3c - 31 Jan 12" folder (LIBFREDO6_Dir_43 and LibFredo6) out of that folder and put it in the plugins folder.

THanks so much for this wonderful plugin!!!

I would suggest you redo a clean installation and make sure you overwrite all existing files.

Just in case, can you type in the Ruby Console and report what you get:
Sketchup.find_support_file('LibTraductor.rb', "Plugins")

Hi, thank for your reply

my SU8 in plugin folder have not installed by LibFredo and curviloft before,
so I just put all unzipped libfredo and curviloft in my plugins folder,
after I redo to overwrite it, it result the same, it not load "lib traductor.rb

and here is I copy paste after I enter it on ruby console:
"Sketchup.find_support_file('LibTraductor.rb', "Plugins")
C:/Program Files/Google/Plugins/LibTraductor.rb"

edit: perhaps the lib traductor.rb crashes in the Google/Plugins folder?
I copy the "Plugins" folder from my friend notebooks and place it there.
I cut the lib traductor there and place it in SU8 plugins folder and the curviloft success to load...

but, where can I get "lib traductor.rb", there's no in lib fredo zip and curviloft zipped file installer right?

Actually you do not need LibTraductor.rb for Curviloft (it's only for backward compatibility that it is checked).

By the way, you seem to have a non-standard installation of SU8.

Normally, Sketchup folders are located in C:/Program Files/Google/**Google SketchUp 8**.

Wow, Thank you very much. All of these plugins are truly a life saver. They bring Sketchup to a completely different level. I love them. And the more I use them the more I appreciate what they do. This had made Sketchup more than just a modeling toy to play with, these plugins (and others listed on the forum) allow the software to truly and indisputably become more of a productive too hands down! Thank you (and all of the other people who write rubies for this Software) again! WE should NEVER take ANY plugin listed here for granted!

Pardon my ignorance, but where can I find the latest LibFredo version file to download? I have an old version and recall finding it buried in a forum discussion but no such luck this time.
THanks!

NEW RELEASE: LibFredo6 v4.4j - 11 Apr 12

LibFredo6 4.4 is a new release which essentially support the publishing of ThruPaint and ReverseOrientFaces as part of FredoTools

I also updated the strategy for online documentation. All PDF will now be grouped in a single sub-directory DOCUMENTATION_Dir. The move of file is done automatically for existing plugins. This will allow to keep the documentation regardless of the version of plugins (as I do not update the doc for every release). Also, The Plugin zip files won't include these PDF files any longer (this will make them lighter). Users will have to download the doc from the forum and put it in DOCUMENTATION_Dir folder if they wish.

See main post of this thread for Download.

Hi Fredo,
Thanks for all your huge work and for sharing it with the community.
I'll just warn users of this library NOT to install it with a Ctrl-A and then drag-drop the files in their Plugins folder. Doing the extraction this way DOESN't create any folder structure and obiously generates errors when loading the library and plugin.
The safer (and only) way is to select "Extract" in Winzip, point to the correct folder and tick "use folder structure" checkbox.
Now back to removing my 148 wrongly located files

I've always done that - using Windows' native archive feature. Never had any problems.
