      Fredo6.
      First of all, thank you very much this plug in is great, works perfectly, simple. Superb.
      Question is, can I install it on V2013? I copied from my plugins folder from V8 and doesn't work and makes SU crash. Is there a way around it?
      Many thanks

      Alex

        You would find it useful to go back to the first post of this thread and read. It is clearly spelled out that there has been an updated version. You should download and install that instead of using the old version you had in your SU8 Plugins directory. In fact you should download current versions of all of Fredo's plugins instead of using the old ones.

        Get the Sketchucation Plugin Store and you can download and auto install all of the plugins you need through it.

          Hey Fredo- can't get any of your plugins running on win 8 64 with SU 2013 - here's the error message...
          "Cannot load plugin LibFredo6 because the script cannot create DEFPARAM_Dir folder in:
          c:/Program Files (x86)/Sketchup/Sketchup 2013/Plugins

          Please create it manually, respecting the case

          Then this error continues for the rest of my Fredo6 plugins and it ends with this:

          Error Loading File LibFredo6.rb
          undefined method `average_load_time' for Traductor::Plugin:Class

          thoughts?

            It sounds like you may not have full permission for your Plugins folder...and Windows won't create the necessary sub-folder. Make sure that all the user names in your Plugins folder's Properties/Security all have full edit permission.

              If you shared your OS etc in your User-profile details it helps us to help you... πŸ˜’

              Sounds like Alan's is right.
              The inability to make the folder suggests that you have limited security permissions to the Plugins folder.
              [Re]Set them to FULL for every one listed.

              BUT the missing file in the next message suggests that you have not properly installed the Lib folder etc...
              This might be a mistake in the way you have extracted/installed it, OR it might look like it looks like it's installed OK, but in fact the dread Windows 'Compatibility Files' VirtualStore has kicked in to save you from yourself [resetting permissions to full for the Plugins folder should stop it recurring but you need to sort out the mess it made before the fix!]... This has been discussed endlessly in many threads...

                Jeeze, thanks guys! I'm afraid I posted waaaayyy too fast before I read the most recent posts! I've been struggling with an upgrade to win 8 and will dive into the permissions issue (and reinstalling) to hopefully correct the issue. Thanks for the quick response and great plugins...

                        Hi Fredo6,
                        Just wanted to pass long a quick thanks for all your plugins.
                        I switched from sketchup v7pro to 2013pro this weekend, and manually installed your plugins (windows 😎 all work great. Had to change permissions on the plugins folder.
                        thanks again,
                        Glenn

                                    Have you restarted SketchUp after installing Fredo Tools ?
                                    It should appear as submenu of various tools in the Tools menu ??

                                    Some complex tool installs need a restart to complete the install...

                                      Hello. Please help. I tried installing this plugin but can't work fine.
                                      It's always error.

                                      Anyone have a solution?

                                        Yes. The solution has been given repeatedly including on this page of the thread. You need to set the permissions for the Plugins folder to give full access for everyone.

                                          NEW RELEASE: LibFredo6 v5.0c - 06 Jul 13

                                          LibFredo6 5.0 is a major technical release that implements new naming conventions for files and folders. The objective is to become more compliant with new ways to install plugins (SCF Plugin Store, Extension Warehouse, Extension Manager), noting that the new direction for SU 2013 / 2014 is to provide a more solid framework for plugins.

                                          For LibFredo6, the footprint is based on one file and one subfolder:
                                          LibFredo6 50 - footprint.png

                                          For my scripts, new naming conventions are also based on one file and one subfolder. For instance, RoundCorner footprint will become:
                                          RoundCorner 24 - Footprint.png

                                          For convenience, LibFredo6 5.0 is compatible with the old and new naming conventions. So if you have FREDOSCALE_Dir_23 folder, it will be loaded normally (until I publish the new version based on Fredo6_FredoScale_24 and Fredo6_FredoScale.rb).

                                          The new version of LibFredo6 also stores Default Parameters in a location which is more likely to have Write access on all machines:

                                          • on Windows, under the Local user Application Data directory
                                          • on Mac, under the User Application Support directory

                                          I hope the transition will go without too much problem. Thanks in advance to all kind users for signaling issues.

                                          See main post of this thread for Download.

                                          Fredo
