[Plugin][$] FredoScale - v3.6a - 01 Apr 24

@Mae50 That looks good.

Can you explain in more detail what is happening?

If you open the Ruby Console via Extensions > Developer > Ruby Console and click on a toolbar icons you see errors in the console?

If your SketchUp install does not have the correct privileges you can repair the SketchUp installation by downloading the installer and right clicking and choosing Run as Admin

When prompted choose Repair.

Yes, that looks like your SketchUp install is missing the correct permissions. Following my instructions to Repair should rectify it.

Or go to C:/Users/julie/AppData/Local/LIBFREDO6_DATA_Dir and delete the LibFredo6_all_defaults.dat file and start SketchUp

I'd recommend the top option to ensure you don't encounter other issues related to permissions.

Mae50

Thanks I do the first option, but it's not ok .

Console Ruby :

@Rich-O-Brien

I just try the second option
Or go to C:/Users/julie/AppData/Local/LIBFREDO6_DATA_Dir and delete the LibFredo6_all_defaults.dat file and start SketchUp
and it's ok.
Thank you very very much for your support

Hi!

I think I found bug.

Sometimes, when I rotate my element i change dimensons there is a error with area of my component.

Look at this video: 2025-03-11 16 06 21.mp4

Someone can help me?

Thanks!

Marcin.

I would need to have the model to understand, especially because the video is unclear about what exactly you do to the cube with the rotation.

Also, can you turn on 'Show Hidden geometry', just in case there are hidden elements in the group.

Box Stretching options has a bug - it does correctly only the first level of components nesting, starting with the second level, it doesn't make unique on the first run (it messes up all your components in the model.!), and if you hit Ctrl+Z (only ONCE.!) it reverses the modification, and after that they remain unique and you can modify...
Very disturbing.!
Curic Stretch works flawlessly, but it is not so handy and fast to use, so is the last option. I use it only when what I want to modify is much too heavy (loaded with many faces and edges... usually organic shapes, but also cabinets with more then 3 drawers because it freezes calculating) because it can handle much more amount of geometry, in these situations, Fredo Scale does only half the job and you end up seeing that only a few pieces have been modified.

NetJaro

[@fredo6 thanks for your answer and thank you for what you do for Sketchup

I include my model.

One object (on the left) is original, second object (on the right) is after rotate by Sketchup official rotate function.

The bug doesn't show always in first time - try rotate left object, when its good (without bug) - use "undo" and try again.

Thanks for you help!

Regards,
Marcin

fredo6

What is the relation with FredoScale then?

Note that I tried to rotate both objects, with Undo and try again. I did not find any issue

NetJaro

@fredo6 Hi!

The problem with area of the object is only when I use a FredoScale.

Below I include a longer video with problem.

Thanks!

fredo6

I cannot reproduce the issue with the Stretch tool followed by a SU Rotate.

Do you have it on any object or just this one ?

By the way, it looks like you component is a Dynamic component, or at least was a dynamic component.

Bundle of 8 plugins are compatible with SketchUp 2025?
I'm interested in the Fredo scale, RoundCorner, and others.

Dave R

@noseno002 yes. They all work with SketchUp 2025.

I'm using this plugin for ears, but this has always been the case. It's not a big problem—when the cursor highlights the edge like in your video, just press it, and the bounding box will align.

I have problem, divide do not work on sketchup 2025 I'm alone with this ?

Are you planning to make any changes, upgrades, or new features?

A new UI, like the Flip tool
Displaying the size of the selected object when the tool is active
Upgrading the stretch target
Holding proportions when scaling

Well, it works for me in SketchUp 2025.

Question;
I use a custom quick menu and I would like to launch FredoScale-boxstretch. On this webpage (documentation section) the suggestion is to use this ruby command. See https://sketchucation.com/plugin/1169-fredoscale

F6_FredoScale.launch_action(action_code)

my action would be :StretchB
so the command is

F6_FredoScale.launch_action(:StretchB)

I'm getting an error though

F6_FredoScale.launch_action(:StretchB)	
#<NameError: uninitialized constant F6_FredoScale::StretchBTool>
(eval):1:in `launch'

etc etc.
Any thing I'm missing? Code has changed?

I'm using
Platform: x64-mswin64_140 - Ruby: 3.2.2, Sketchup: 25.0.634, LibFredo6: v15.1a, LibFredo6 Binary loaded, SCFLicense: v6.4a - 74, FredoScale v3.6a - licensed FULL

fredo6

Use :Stretch_B

EXTERNAL API to launch FredoScale menus

Action code must be passed as a symbol

- :Scale_B --> Scale - Box mode

- :Scale_T --> Scale - Target mode

- :Taper_B --> Taper - Box mode

- :Taper_T --> Scale - Target mode

- :PlanarShear_B --> Planar Shear - Box mode

- :PlanarShear_T --> Planar Shear - Target mode

- :PlanarShear_A --> Planar Shear - Free mode

- :Stretch_B --> Stretch - Box mode

- :Stretch_T --> Stretch - Target mode

- :Twist_B --> Twist - Box mode

- :Rotate_B --> Rotate - Box mode

- :Rotate_A --> Rotate - Free mode

- :RadialBend_A --> Radial Bending - Free mode

- :MakeUnique_U --> Make Unique - Utility

@fredo6 thanks Fredo, that works nicely
