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

Rosta

Thanks, I did a new install and now it is ok. But I have another problem. I'd like to have Toolbar of FredoScale. I have the check of FredoScale ON in View -> Toolbars but I have nothing. Thanks

Dave R

Perhaps your install still isn't correct. Did the toolbar icons get extracted to the right folder? Did you check the box for FredoScale under Extensions?

It may come from a conflict with another plugin: Podium (some versions), Matchbox, Sun Position, may be others.
Did you try the Bend functions and do you get a bugsplat too.

Maybe you must post some file skp for more helps (save as V6)
And one image before / after

Roberto, these DB images do not load here this way (it actually links to a page where they are inserted). Could you rather attach them to your post?

Sorry,

I solved it.

Thanks anyway.

compliments for the speed of responses. This forum is a really quick.

sorry for my English (using Google translate) but my only language is Italian.

We have an Italian subforum at the bottom (I have added you now). It's not the busiest forum but still, if you get stuck, there are a couple of Italians here...

Thank you! This SketchUp Bending rocks!

Hi!
I have a little problem with this plugin. If the stretching device provided by the component or group, then the attribute does not change the size.

Sorry, this turned out to google.

Dave R

I think I understand what you wrote, local, but it isn't entirely clear.

It is true that if you stretch a component or group, you only change the appearance of that entity but it doesn't change the definition not does it change any other instances of the component in the model. This happens with the native Scale tool as well. To change the definition (attributes) you need to open the component or group for editing and modify the geometry inside.

Could it be that he's referring to Dynamic Components?

local

This component consists of several group.

I am not sure of the question but the stretching tool alters the component itself,unlike the scale tool.

If more than one instance of the component is in drawing, stretching creates a new component definition--so the original component is unchanged.

Hello all,

This is my first post, but I have spent countless hours reading this forum and it has been the the most amazing SU resource. Im just learning, and I would have a fraction of my current knowledge/ability without this forum, not to mention the developers who make scripts for SU (thank you Fredo!!!) Im amazed how much effort and energy the individuals in this community are willing to give. Truly amazing!

I now have my first question, or at least a question I could not answer simply by reading. I tried to search for the answer, I did not find it, but im sure its simple.

Using Fredo scale box scaling, when I grab/drag a handle and scale it jumps from 1.0 to 1.05, and I can not get it to scale in this range (1.0-1.05) without typing the values. It would be very nice to stop this, and have it scale in this range without it jumping from 1.0 to 1.05.

Is there a way to change this?

thanks...

Gaieus

Hm. I tried both with the native Scale tool and FredoScale and I can easily move my mouse in a way that it smoothly "grows" the numbers by 0.01 increments.

When I use the native scale tool it scales by .01 increments. But, when using Fredo Scale it jumps to 1.05, and then scales up from there at .01 increments. Very frustrating. There is a similar issue when using target mode with small (not minute, but small) distances.When using scaling handles I can type in the values between 1 and 1.05, but with target mode there is no way to get the scaling through the small distance.

If anyone has any ideas please tell me what you think. There didn't seem to be anything in the settings to correct this.
