[Plugin Library] LibFredo6 - v15.8e - 15 Feb 26

Gordy_Z

Sketchucation Folk,

Sorry to be dense. I'd like to update LibFredo6 but after reading the documentation, watching a video on installation, and doing a search in Sketchucation, I keep coming up with intall instructions. https://sketchucation.com/plugin/903-libfredo6definitely definitely says "It must be installed ONCE and updated as needed..." I think this makes sense as I believe I read somewhere that having old LibFredo folders/files around can cause problems.

Of course I know to check FOR updates - that's how I know I need one. But the only clickable link in the resulting window is "Info" and it takes me to the installation page noted above that says to ONLY install once, then use an update process from then on. Please inform me of this update process. Again, apologies if I'm missing something obvious.

Thanks,

Gordy_Z

Go to...
https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore
Search for Lib_Fredo6...
Download its RBZ and install it in SketchUp like any other archive...

Gordy_Z

Thanks, got thrown by the "must be installed ONCE."

The Sketchucation Extension Store I've installed in SU is simply the automated way to download an RBZ archive and install it, correct?

TIG

Yes that's OK.
The ExtensionStore from SketchUcation Tools is just a simplified method, so the PluginStore entry can be auto-installed without the need for you to download any RBZ files.
Some people like to have the actual RBZ file for their archives, but the way the ExtensionStore is set up is intended to make life as simple as it can be...

Actually the process of installing for the first time and updating is technical similar, as you

download the RBZ file
install this RBZ file as an extension Sketchup (via the Sketchup Extension manager)

Simply, as TIG says, if you manage your extensions with the Sketchucation ExtensionStore, the update is a simple click in the Extension manager of the Sketchucation tool.

I modified the page to state that "installed once" is related to "all my extensions", as LibFredo6 is shared by all my extensions precisely.

No matter which way I try to install the latest version of LibFredo6 into SU 2019, I get on error message that it's installed incorrectly, that the sub-folder is missing.

Any suggestions?

TIG

Please post the actual message's text.
That way Fredo can see which folder is causing issues...

Hi,

I just installed Lib Fredo6 v8.8a and then installed Roundcorner. Lib Fredo6 v8.a seems to be installed and Roundcorner is working fine. However, I then installed FredoScale and I cannot get it to work. When I start Sketchup it gives me a pop up message which says 'You must install LibFredo6 version 6.9 or higher to run Fredo_6 FredoScale'. But it seems I have the most up to date version of LibFredo 6. Is there something I am missing? Thanks.

fredo6

You must have an old version of FredoScale (or some old files left in your plugin directory).

I suggest you do a cleanup and reinstall FredoScale.

when using curviloft i got an information saying contours cannot be interpreted correctly. i have some images but i don't know how to upload here,would you mind if can communicate via email?

TIG

You managed to attach one image.
Attaching more images or a SKP is much the same process, using the 'Upload attachment' tab...

Hello,

On the 2019 version, I was able to install the Curviloft plugins, frontface and toposhaper out for 1 month, when opening Sketchup now I have this message:
Error loading Fredo6_FredoScale file / __ loader__FredoScale
Could not find included file 'Fredo6_FredoScale / __ loader__FredoScale'
Error loading Fredo6_RoundCorner / __ loader__RoundCorner file
Could not find included file 'Fredo6_RoundCorner / __ loader__RoundCorner'
Error loading Fredo6_TopoShaper / __ loader__TopoShaper file
Could not find included file 'Fredo6_TopoShaper / __ loader__TopoShaper'

Since I uninstalled them and I can not install them, an error message also appears: "Error: Invalid component file"

I would like to reuse them do you have a solution to bring me?

Regards,

fredo6

@sophieo44

I think there is something wrong in your Plugin directory.

I would suggest you check the footprint of extensions (normally, one .rb file and one folder).

I installed LibFredo6 v8.8a and then Fredo6 FredoScale but in the Extension manager it says "Signature Outdated" and I don't see FredoScale anywhere in Sketchup. What am I missing?

TIG

Did you restart SketchUp after the installations ?
For me the Lib and ALL of Fredo's Extensions report as being 'signed'...
And of course their various menu entries and toolbars appear where they should be...

Bonjour Fredo
serait il possible de faire qq modifications dans la liste des calques,
je m'explique
il faudrait rajouter une colonne solo, pour mettre le calque seul visible à l'ecra en masquant tous les autres.
Et un petit voyant devant chaques calques pour signaler si il est vide ou pas.
Peut etre que cette option existe déjà? si oui fais moi signe, si non à voir.
L'idéal serait un plug in pour chaque version

There already exists several plugins that provide additional fonctionality with layers.

There are also some on EWH (by Eneroth3 for instance)

Bonjour, pouvez vous m'indiquer comment mettre a jour les plugins ?
Il n'y a aucun lien direct de mise a jour, du coup , je ne sais quel fichier télécharger et ou; et comment mettre a jour dans sketchup.
Sont concernés LibFredo6 et JointPushPull.
Merci de vos indications.
