Thank you Fredo - class act (as always)

Hi Fredo
I like your tool. I want to know if you can re make the stretch tool so that you if stretch 4 or more objects, it calculates the spaces between and re position all if them and not only have one cut face but several depending the amount of objects between it
pretty please.
Like if you do a palacade fence, you can stretch it and all those poles will be re spaced. -

By the way, what you describe is pretty much what Dynamic Components have been made for. -
Dear Fredo,
Further to a previous post, what settings should I use to remove the blank icon boxes from the tool bar, or are these unused boxes earmarked for future tool?
A fantastic and generous contribution to the SU community. Thank you.
Kind regards,

Hi fredo... I had it working. But it stopped today. It wont show anymore. I tried downloading the 31f today and the link worked, only it is still not working. I dont know what happened. I thought of a different ruby but that was not the cause. It was working on my pc and wanted it on my imac. I got this error that it only worked with 31 and not 30. Tonight i wanted to work with it on the pc but it didnt show up anymore. I just copied the files from the pluggin folder to a mem stick
-
In general, for installation and upgrades, just unzip the files provided (select All and extract, to make sure you transfer the folder hierarchy) and answer YES to any prompt dialog box to replace existing files.
Do not worry with previous versions. By unzipping the files, it will replace the ones that have to be replaced. Also never rename or move yourself the files outside of their folder.
Finally, it may help if you tell me whether you:
- get a message at Sketchup startup
- see the menus and toolbar
- get errors at run time
and anything that may guide me to help you

Maybe you should refer to the following post, which indicates the exact footprint of the plugin in the Sketchup directory.

I am running the most recent version on a pc and all of the tools work except the bend tool....half the time it wont even activate when I click the icon and when it does work, it only rotates the object and doesnt bend it. Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?
-
Hi Fredo - just to let you know, after replacing the file 'FreeScale_Common.rb' the tool stops working
it's not a big deal though - whenever you stumble upon it..

Two remarks
- For the rotation (instead of bend), you need to activate the slicer (toggle F4). This creates intermediate points and make the bending smoother.
- Before you do any transformation, make sure that your current selection is correct. If you move directly from one tool to another one like Bend, then all geometry at model level may not be selected. This is why it's always better to encapsulate the geometry within groups.

Thanks Fredo.. strange, it doesn't work - tried changing the toolbar name..
it doesn't matter - shall i try to find the separators in the files themselves or would i just waste time?

Strange. It works for me. Do you at least see the option in the Default Parameters dialog box?
Please do not change the code. You won't find where the separators are (I am even lost myself).

sorry Fredo, should have been clearer - the update does remove the separators.. so the toolbar looks great - it just doesn't work! : )
..don't worry about it Fredo, i'll leave it as it is.. i will try and find out if there's some clashing etc.. (Thanks)

Is it the whole set of tools not working?
Did you try with the version attached in my previous post, just in case?
I'd better know, because I checked that 44 people have downloaded the file. -
@cadfather said:
yes, the whole toolset stops - with both versions,
i also tried with an empty plugins folder as below, same result..
I suggest you then reinstall the standard version 2.0f (and 3.1f for LibFredo6, we never know). I need to investigate.
By the way, when you say 'Stops' what does that mean. For instance, if you open the Ruby console, do you see any message when launching the tools?Fredo
PS: Nice icon for the folders!

forgot to mention:
xp pro sp3
sketchup 7 pro -
with the clean latest install (i had it but retried it again now) the toolset works - if i change the 'common' file, it stops..
here's the folder icons - i do need some visual clues as to what swims in this folder!
-
I think I found the issue. I have inadvertedly included a statement that only works with another version of LibFredo6.
Here is a version that should work hopefully

Hi Fredo
what are the chances i can remove the separators from the icons toolbar?
Drop the attached file into the FREESCALE_Dir_20 folder.
Then restart Sketchup, set the option in the Default Parameters dialog box, and then restart sketchup again.Fredo
