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

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.

@fredo6 Hi!

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

Below I include a longer video with problem.

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

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

Hi Fredo. I've used so many of your creations over the years. I want to say I've used SU on and off since at least 2006. I just purchased SU2025 Pro and I'm also a member here on Sketchucation, though my membership here is of the free variety. I'm getting ready to purchase the Fredo6Bundle2022 through Sketchucation, but I want to make sure I'm good to go ahead and purchase. Under the "Requirements" you mention "Usage: Paid, Licensed under Sketchucation SCFLicense". I want to understand if this means I need to be a "Paid" member here on Sketchucation, or am I reading too much into that? I hope my inquiries are clear enough and thanks in advance for any clarifications you can provide. EDIT*: Or if anyone else can answer this question if Fredo isn't available, that we be great. THX!

You can purchase using your free account. SCFLicense is packed into Sketchucation Tools which is also free.

@Rich-O-Brien Thank you so much for your reply and info.

Hi in SketchUp 2026 you need to tap tab multiple times to bring up the dimensions box. This appears to only happen on Windows, Mac is working as it should. Is there a workaround or fix?

Thanks.

Rich O Brien

@Mattshiggins

You can right click and choose Enter Dimensions

But the TAB not firing on first click suggests something else is grabbing focus. That could be from a myriad of reasons like a dialog open or you clicked something in the tray.

I've not experienced myself on Windows but have seen a few mention it.

@Rich-O-Brien @Mattshiggins

I'm having the same issue here. I've tried uninstalling all other extensions and plugins and running Sketchup without any other apps in the background and I still get the same thing.

Is there a way to check what is getting focused when I press tab, maybe? To try and find what's stealing the focus?

EDIT: or maybe change that tab key to something else that doesn't cause the issue?

EDIT 2: updates here: https://community.sketchucation.com/post/1617927

Hello to all, after reading all 57 pages of this topic I have yet to find a solution to my issue with the box stretching function.

I have attached 3 images showing a simple paneled door that stretches all groups in the horizontal direction but only the frame in the vertical direction.

The door component consists of 11 different groups, What am I missing here ?
