Could you post the model or send it to me via PM so that I have a look
Thanks

I can't wait to try this plugin. I could have used this countless times in the past.
Before I go screwing things up though, I have a question.When Extracting the files into the Plugins Folder, should the zip file create a Plugin Specific Folder ? OR Do we have to create a folder into which these files get extracted ? OR Do we simply drag all the files into the default plugins folder amongst all other plugin files ?
I ask because I did the latter or ended up with the latter but I see a Plugin Specific Folder called "LibFredo6 Dir 34" indicated in the following post :

thanks for the response, freedo! sure thing... it's actually not any particular model. i attached a tall box form that i just tried to no avail (changed the slice setting to 6). the pic show as far as i can get with the process, but once i designate a rotation angle, it shuts down every time, no matter what shape, model, etc.
by the way, i just installed updated sketchup 6 pro to version 6.4.265 recently if that makes a difference.

Hi Chris,
Just drag and drop. There will be "bare" rb files directly under the main plugins folder and there will be some subfolders, too. Just do NOT let Windows create a main, containing subfolder under plugins (as it generally tends to do from the archive name).

Thanks kindly Gaieus ... again.
You are truly one handy fellow. I have learned much from you, both directly and indirectly.
Keep up the great work .. both helping others and with your future modeling endeavors.
Keep on keeping on. -
i think i figured out my problem. i noticed that every time the curves were being computed in radially bending, the outliner box would tweak out just before su crashed... the next time, i closed the outliner box, tried it again and voila - everything worked fine. must not be able to handle the rapid, real time changing of groups, etc.

That may wellhave been the case - as many plugins that create a great deal of geometry in a short time tend to crash or at least hang SU when the Outliner is active.

thanks gaieus... it's probably a topic that's been discussed at length in various threads, but i had been previously unaware. good to know. shut that outliner down and all is well!

In SU6, there are reported crash with the outliner box.
This has been fixed in SU7, where the outliner box refresh is suspended.
I think I indicated this somewhere in the documentation, but it's good to refresh all minds.Thanks

I keep getting a loading error when I open SU.
Can someone please tell me how to attach an image (screen shot of error) that is presently on my desktop ? -
Hi Chris,
IF you have saved that screenshot into an image file and answering to my post here, just scroll down a little bit until you find the "Upload attachment" tab.
-
Duh ... never saw that "Upload Attachment" Tab before. Thanks
Hopefully I did this right so the image is attached.

Did you install LibFredo6?

Sorry for the slow reply.
Yes, I did install LibFredo 6 immediately after installing FredoScale 2.
In fact, there is now a LibFredo 6 Dir 34 Folder now in my Plugins Folder -

- ZLoader_FredoScale.rb
- LibFredo6.rb
- FREDOSCALE_Dir_20 folder (containing several other rb files and IMAGES_STANDARD subfolder)
- LIBFREDO6_Dir_34 folder (containing several other rb files and IMAGES_STANDARD subfolder)
That's all you need. Never rename or move files manually.

I have checked and can confirm I have all the files, folders and sub-folders with files that you have indicated.
I haven't had opportunity to try any of the associated tools yet, but there is a toolbar and everything else appears to still be functioning properly.
I might have to revert back to the other day (somehow) and try re-installing from scratch again.
I wonder if anything got overwritten during the installation.
As mentioned, I installed the LibFredo 6 "After" installing FredoScale 2".... Should it have been installed prior to FredoScale 2 ? -
Well, as they are "simple" text files and no registry or similar is written in the system, the installation order doesn't really matter.

Fredo grand sorcier ! bravo, merci !!!

In attempting to create a model of a stack of business cards 0.5m thk,0.2 mm spaced the distortion across the thickness was not acceptable. Instead a rectangular face was created with zero thickness, cards stacked by the linear array approach and then rotated using the box twist option in FredoScale. However when an attempt to replace the card face unique components created by twist operation with a card coponent ( with thickness) from the component browser the cards showed no twist. See the attached test model( Note it is drawn at a larger scale). The reason for this is the component axis are not rotated per the normal SU componet rotation and in addition the component browser card face definition is also modified with the twist operation.
Is this normal or am I doing something wrong? Can or should this be corrected? Changes to the model are discussed in the manual but I question if changes of the components in the browser should be done??
A work around using the projection plugin is possible but should it be necessary??
