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

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!

NEW FEATURES: with LibFredo6 4.5- 08 May 12
If you upgrade to LibFredo6 4.5, you will get two new features for the Free Rotate tool (and other tools based on rotation such as Box Rotate, Twist, Free Planar Shearing).
These new functions are largely inspired from Jeff Hammond's mini-challenge.
- Rotate with Offset
In the SU Rotate tool and previous versions of FredoScale Free Rotate, the inferences are only done about the base line of rotation. This makes difficult to perform rotation when the target point to infer is not on the base line.
In the new version of Free Rotate, there is an extra step where you can select a target line at a certain offset to be used for inference. This is shown on the video below.
Note that this step is proposed by default in Free Rotate (just click again if you don't need it) and as an option for other tools (via a long click).- Inference on line
The typical situation is to rotate a line until it exactly touches another line. This is a typical limitation of the SU Rotate tool which does not provide inference for this case.
Free Rotate now proposes this inference.
This is an old request from Daniel S, also mentioned by Jeff in his mini-challenge.
Please see this post for downloading the latest version of LibFredo6.

Have you got the supporting 'Fredo Lib' file/subfolder downloaded/installed as explained on the download page ?Have you activated the tool under Window > Preferences > Extensions > FredoScale ?
Have you then activated its toolbar from View > Toolbars > Fredo Scale ?
Have you then got the menu item Tools > Fredo6 Collection > FredoScale ... ? -

do you also have the Fredo file library, which has a link found in the first post, that you need to use the plugin?

thank you

This is an Excellent Plugin that I would recommend to anyone and everyone who might ever need to create organic shapes such as boat sails and/or tensile roof structures and the like.
It is extremely easy to use and works very well.
The fact that it is Free is also amazing because it certainly does have value and will save you tons of time regardless what you are trying to create with it.Thanks again so much for sharing this excellent Plugin as well as for continuing to make improvements/updates.

thanks...This is an Excellent Plugin.
