Result is a diagonal box with the face along the green axis line vertical and normal and the opposite face at some weird angle up in the air. No curve or bend at all. But the weirder thing is that really weird that confuses me is that if I try it on person then it works fine. I added other plugins and already tried disabling those, but it still didn't work. And it used to work before. Can someone explain to me what to do or even whats wrong? Thanks, because I love this plugin!
You need to activate the slicer (Key F4) to slice automatically the shape. Otherwise, since there is no intermediate slice, it would not bend, but just shear.

Hi Fredo, I have been using the FredoScale on my Imac OS 10.5 (Leopard) without any problem.
I change it for a new Imac OS 10.7 (Lion) and FredoScale crashes a lot, I'm not sure whats happening...
Could you help me with this issue!??!?!Anyway, the FredoScale is the best plugin ever...
I don't know too much, except that there have been many problem reported with OS X Lion. I think they are somehow solved with SU8 M2.
Anyway, it would be good to give some details on the circumstances of the crashes you have.

Thanks, that fixed everything! Lesson: Don't play with settings you don't understand! Now I can use this fantastic plugin again! Thanks for creating such a wonderful and simple plugin that's free! I love it! It makes everything so much easier!

Hi SU-pers!
I've a little question and it's probably asked before. But I can't find it in this forum nor an answer in the manual. I want to scale a box(for instance) with the FredoScale-tool, and I want to scale that from the Centre (with the ctrl-key) and then input(TAB) ONLY the width(along the red axis). But this seems to be not possible without a length-input...It's hard to explain....But I only want to have one dimension fixed while scaling the object proportionally around its centre.
How can this been done, does anyone know that?
Thanks in advance!

I am having a bit of an issue. I am running Mac OS Lion and I just tried to install your Fredo Scale 2.2 a and LibFredo6 and placed the folders in the approiate plugins... but I dont see any of the tools when I start up SketchUP. I was hoping someone had come accross this issue and found a fix, or knows something about this occurance. Any help would be greatly appreaciated. Thanks!

Jonathan please post the file path. Click on the FredoScale_Dir22 folder and get info (command "i") and look at "where". The total path should read /Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/plugins

At the risk of repeating ourselves yet again...
Are you extracting files from the zip correctly ?
Are you also getting and installing the required Lib' folder of supporting tools as advised on the download page ?
What 'Plugins folder' are you putting things into on your MAC ?
The root[HD]...Library...Plugins is good, user...Library...Plugins is bad.
There are several helpful posts about how to extract and install plugins...
Once everything is in the right folder[s] a restart will make the tool available.
Activate it from Preferences > Extensions.
Active it toolbar from View > Toolbars [slightly different name on a MAC ?].
Customize what appears on the tool's toolbar using the special menu items as explained in the tools help docs/pages... -
Just a note, on Mac, Preferences are found under the SketchUp menu to the left of File.

Thank you Fredo.
And yes, Jeff, thanks for the challenge. I won't ever do it the hard way again.

Vital Addition!
I must try it for see if that gives the same result than a nurbs modeler!
So YES this time seems very good!
1.3239127 Nurbs (height of brace cut vertically) Pilars are 1 * 1 * 10 , brace 1 * 1 * x : unity meter
1.323913m SU

i tested a few things against rhino and as far as i can tell, it gives the same exact results..
but the crazy thing is, fredo's version is faster
the offset/rotate idea is very clever and well implemented.
bravo! -

And no more problem in the Big Zoom!

Only one decimal point difference!

Seems very similar! -

A great mini-challenge with some headaches!
Maybe another solution without plug can be found who knows!
