Please confirm I need to purchase round corners again.

You have no license registered for any of my plugins, at least under the username Slimdog.

So, you need to purchase one.

@fredo6 Thanks for the response. I just had to install sketchucation tools and it works now.

Hi- I've been using Libfredo tools for a while but recently had a hardware issue with one of my drives unrelated to the SU install or the additional folders location. Basically SU graaaaduaalllyy froze along with my PC and I had to force a hardware shut down. On replacing the hardware and starting up SU again, I'm getting errors pop up- "You must install Libfredo6 or above"; I have manually reinstalled this via SU from the additional folders location but it didn't work on reopening of SU with the same message. This is the followed by load errors of the extensions including libfredo etc.

Weirdly, in SU extension manager I tried disabling the libfredo extensions, saving changes, closing SU, reopening and the extensions are still enabled!!! Any thoughts on a resolution please? Thanks

[fredo6]

It would be helpful that you indicate which version of SU you reinstalled, and which of my plugin you were also trying to install.

Also, please quote the error message correctly.

Are you also saying that you use AdditionalPluginFolders plugin to install plugins in an alternative directory?

Hi- manged to delete the original post so restated with additional info requested (!) I've been using Libfredo tools for a while but recently had a hardware issue with one of my drives unrelated to the SU 2023 (on win 11) install or the additional folders location. Basically SU graaaaduaalllyy froze along with my PC and I had to force a hardware shut down. On replacing the hardware and starting up SU again, I'm getting errors pop up- "You must install Libfredo6 or above"; I have manually reinstalled libfredo 6v_15.9 via SU from the additional folders location but it didn't work on reopening of SU with the same message. This is the followed by load errors of the extensions including libfredo, curviloft, fredoscale, fredospline, fredotools, fredocorner etc. Not getting licencing reports (presumably as they haven't loaded).

First update to SketchUp 2026. You must have an up to date SketchUp subscription since you are using SketchUp 2023 so you can update to 2026 at no additional charge.

Next, make sure SketchUp is installed correctly so that Windows 11 grants the required permissions to allow SketchUp to write the files it needs. Correct installation involves right clicking on the downloaded installer and selecting Run as administrator.

Make sure you have the latest version of the Sketchucation ExtensionStore installed and use it to install LibFredo6 and the other extensions.

All working now- thanks

Explaining how you fixed things helps others reading this, and gives useful feedback to moderators and experienced users who might be 'advising'...

I want to get curviloft, but when I push the paybutton for paypall nothing happens

IMPORTANT: from now on, LibFredo6 and all my plugins are ONLY maintained for SU2017 and above. If you run a legacy version of Sketchup (up to SU2016), you can find the frozen legacy versions of LibFredo6 and my plugins here.

The information on LibFredo6 is maintained on the Plugin Home Page of LibFredo6. This is also where you can download the RBZ file.

• Sketchup version: SU2017 and above (for Mac M1, SU2021 and above)
• Platform: Windows and Mac OSX
• Usage: Free

If you land on this page and are unfamiliar with how to install Sketchup Extensions such as LibFredo6 or how to register on Sketchucation, please watch this video:

LibFredo6 is a shared plugin library used by most of my plugins. LibFredo6 takes care, among others, of enriching my plugins with a few capabilities such as default parameters, language translation, Check Plugins for Update, Trace logging, etc.

It is NOT a standalone plugin. It must be installed once and updated as needed when new versions are published.
