Hi Fredo. I've used so many of your creations over the years. I want to say I've used SU on and off since at least 2006. I just purchased SU2025 Pro and I'm also a member here on Sketchucation, though my membership here is of the free variety. I'm getting ready to purchase the Fredo6Bundle2022 through Sketchucation, but I want to make sure I'm good to go ahead and purchase. Under the "Requirements" you mention "Usage: Paid, Licensed under Sketchucation SCFLicense". I want to understand if this means I need to be a "Paid" member here on Sketchucation, or am I reading too much into that? I hope my inquiries are clear enough and thanks in advance for any clarifications you can provide. EDIT*: Or if anyone else can answer this question if Fredo isn't available, that we be great. THX!

You can purchase using your free account. SCFLicense is packed into Sketchucation Tools which is also free.

@Rich-O-Brien Thank you so much for your reply and info.

Hi in SketchUp 2026 you need to tap tab multiple times to bring up the dimensions box. This appears to only happen on Windows, Mac is working as it should. Is there a workaround or fix?

Thanks.

@Mattshiggins

You can right click and choose Enter Dimensions

But the TAB not firing on first click suggests something else is grabbing focus. That could be from a myriad of reasons like a dialog open or you clicked something in the tray.

I've not experienced myself on Windows but have seen a few mention it.

@Rich-O-Brien @Mattshiggins

I'm having the same issue here. I've tried uninstalling all other extensions and plugins and running Sketchup without any other apps in the background and I still get the same thing.

Is there a way to check what is getting focused when I press tab, maybe? To try and find what's stealing the focus?

EDIT: or maybe change that tab key to something else that doesn't cause the issue?

Hello to all, after reading all 57 pages of this topic I have yet to find a solution to my issue with the box stretching function.

I have attached 3 images showing a simple paneled door that stretches all groups in the horizontal direction but only the frame in the vertical direction.

The door component consists of 11 different groups, What am I missing here ?

Upload the file please so we can test

Sorry posted wrong door, try this one.

Explode the 'glass' groups and group them into a single group then stretch

fimo

Many thanks Rich, that certainly works, my lack of lateral thinking on show right there.

But is this a workaround for a non functionality in the extension or is it by design ? Just seems odd that it works in one plane and not the other.

Rich O Brien

@fimo

Dunno... it does behave correctly Left/Right. Just not Up/Down.

In this video you can see it working as expected. Maybe @fredo6 knows more?

I've installed the latest version of FredoScale, and I'm not sure it's really an improvement, at least not for me. Also, the fact that I have to manually turn off "Uniform" every single time is very irritating. Is there a way to change this so that Uniform is disabled by default?

Improvement on what? There was a bug which was fixed so that it works as designed.

pep75

Well, it seems to me that the user interface has changed, or am I completely mistaken?

This is completely new to me, or am I wrong?

fredo6

This dialog always existed and is invoked by prssing Tab when the mouse is over a handle. Simply there was a bug for some situations.

@fredo6 Great work. This latest “Uniform Scale” modification, although visually a small change, has actually been a major breakthrough for me. Congratulations!
