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

[Dave R]

You should have a folder called "LIBFREDO6_Dir_43" and a file called "LibFredo6.rb" If you installed the current version you shouldn't have "LibFredo6-34" at all.

Well it was there, not now now it just shows 4.3

[gullfo]

not sure if it is the LibFredo 4.3b or the BezierSpline 1.4f plugin, but if the LibFredo 4.3b is enabled, the BezierSpline 1.4f does not work. i get a Ruby console error for line 592 cannot convert nil to float.

Error: #<TypeError: no implicit conversion to float from nil>

Fredo tools works regardless of BezierSplines being enabled or not.
NOTE: I only encountered this error since updating to 4.3b and prior to that it was working correctly.

I think that I've installed LibFredo6 v.4.3 and the Round corner plugins correctly. But when I launch SketchUp (I'm using Version 7 on Mac OS 10.4.11) is get this error message: Error Loading File LibFredo6.rb
can't convert nil into String

What does this mean and how can I fix it? Can someone assist me.

Thanks!

I'm running SketchUp 7 on Mac OS 10.4.11. I've downloaded and installed both LibFredo6 v4.3 and Round Corner plugin and both are not working. When I start up SU7 I get the error message: "Error Loading File LibFredo6.rb
can't convert nil into String". I have no idea what this means. Can someone help?

Thanks a million!

Here is a screen shot of my plugins folder

Just in case, can you type ENV["TEMP"] in the Ruby Console and tell me what you see.

Thanks

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

[thomthom]

This is what I use to detect temp path:

TEMP_PATH = File.expand_path( ENV['TMPDIR'] || ENV['TMP'] || ENV['TEMP'] ).freeze

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

Hello Fredo,

Thanks for your assistance. I did what you asked and here is a screenshot of the result.

Thanks Supercylon

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.

EDIT: file removed. Now part of the release 4.3c, 31 Jan 12

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!!!
