      Hey everyone and Fredo,
      Regarding the recent discussion, I have the same trouble stretching. I try to strech a building in wich every floor is a component and all the floors are the same component definition. Applying a box stretching makes every one of them a unique component, ad this is not an ideal situation. I aware of the component replacer extension by Thomthom but I would like this problem to be fixed natively within the plugin.
      Thanks

      This is a current limitation of the Stretch tool. I may try to find a new method to only make unique the components that need to be. But it is not simple.

        Thanks for that. another question regarding your plugins in general (can't find the general discussion for that as the ScekthUcation website is so confusing to use) - Suddenly your plugins stopped working in a weird way. Every function and button requires a double-click to work, and some plugins like JointPushPull menus don't show up. Other plugins (not yours) work just fine.
        Is there a way to fix that?
        Here's an image of the JointPushPull situation.
        Thanks a lot in advance!

          Could you restart Sketchup and check if you see a notification about LibFredo6 at start up.

          Also, the best is to:

          • Open the Ruby Console
          • Close Sketchup
          • Reopen Sketchup
            This method allows to have the Ruby console opening when starting Sketchup and see all potential error messages.

            I've tried it, and it didn't work. here's what was written in the console after I restarted SketchUp, tried to run JointPushPull and the Curviloft.

              Could you upgrade to LibFredo6 v13.5a. This should fix the problem.

                Indeed it worked. Had to install that and restart SketchUp.
                Thanks a lot Fredo!

                  Hi FREDO

                  I am having an issue with box scaling. After I scale vertically to 0 to flatten the object I can not select or edit it afterwards. Any ideas ??

                    I love this extension but I am having issues with it.

                    I have updated to 13.5a. I have flattened the model using scale with a value of 0 and now I can not edit groups without them randomly appearing in the model. Any ideas FREDO??

                        I don't recall this behavior when we last used this to flatten a DWG.

                        Attached is the SKP file with the Original DWG Component on the Left and the Box Scaled DWG Component on the Right. When i click into the Scaled Component and try to enter the Trash Can Component (Circled in Red) the whole Component jumps to a different location as though the Axis is Changed. Also there is no Z axis shown in the scaled Component. Any Idea on why this happens? Our Workaround was to use Flatten to Plane from Eneroth. But this requires going into the individual Sub Components and Flattening. We don't want to Explode Everything and we want to keep the DWG Layers intact.

                          Just bought Fredo Scale because I had a paneled design for a stair balustrade and I needed to
                          skew it for the grade and then had to give it a radius on the upper section. Skewing worked well
                          but the free bending doesn't seem to handle any ornamentation in the panel. It works on single plane
                          flat panels but when there is a design ( 2D same as plane ) it pulls off part of the design while bending
                          and then fails to complete the bend. I actually got it do do it once but all other attempts failed. I tried
                          as a component and exploded and selected, still no luck. It also doesn't seem to work as shown in a
                          tutorial I saw. Also the Box Plane shearing after using it I tried to make copies of the skewed panel
                          and when I did it suddenly reverted back to the original shape. It did that several times and I finally got a
                          copy that didn't revert. So things seeming pretty buggy to me at this point. Another comment about the
                          bend, It would help if you could actuate a bend using a precise "bulge" distance like SU uses for arches.
                          It's more usable for architectural purposes.

                          I do love what it was trying to do

                            Great plugin, thanks.

                            When box stretching is it possible to input a measurement if you know the value rather than trying to stretch to the exact value?

                              You can show the dimension dialog by pressing TAB.

                                  Hi guys and girls is it possible to change the dimensions from Pixels to mm in the Fredoscale extensions??

                                  I am trying to drag a cabinet from 900mm wide to 955mm the ideal way to do this I would just type in 55mm and it would move it the extra 55mm but this is in pixels and isn't as easy.

                                    Show us a screenshot of what you are seeing. Sizing any geometry in pixels doesn't make any sense in SketchUp. Which tool are you using to change the dimensions of the cabinet? When I use Box Scaling I can just enter the desired final dimension.

                                    Share the .skp file so we can see what you are working with.

                                    Which version of SketchUp Pro are you using?

                                      Hello dear Fredo. Can I ask you to make a small edit to your plugin? Could we have more than 2 (3,4,5...N) scale planes in the plugin?

                                        Hello Fredo.

                                        I don't know if it happens to anyone else.

                                        I have an issue with the box scaling. I scale some geometry by a factor of 0 to make it flat - although it does the job of flattening, suddenly I can't select my geometry by cursor anymore, just by ctrl+A. I see the geometry where it should be, but for some reason I can't select it.

                                        Is this a known problem? Is there a fix for that? I checked the version and I have the latest one (3.5a).

                                        Thanks a lot in advance.

                                          This is not really supported. By the way, you may get the issue with the native scaling.
