[Plugin][$] FredoScale - v3.7c - 19 Aug 26
-
@pep75 This is the panel that appears with the button in the latest version 3.7a, with a tab in one corner of the box. It's improved because now you can disconnect the measurements.
-
Yes, I understand that, but I find it incredibly cumbersome. Every time I want to scale objects, I first have to disable the "uniform scale" option and then press Enter twice (which isn't a big deal). The way it was before worked fine; I wasn't missing anything at all.
-
@pep75 Before this change, when there was no uniform scale, it was impossible to unlock uniformity. This means that if you need to scale an object—for example, a chair that is not to scale—but you know one dimension, such as its height, you could resize the object by entering just that single dimension. For me, this is an extremely useful and precise feature. Previously, it was absolutely not possible to do this, whereas with SketchUp’s standard Scale tool it was possible, albeit in a less sophisticated way.
Let me give you an example: if you insert a door, then change your mind and want to resize it while keeping it in scale, just by modifying the height with an exact measurement, how did you do it before? You just need to get used to it. -
@alexpacio2013 In this situation I used the BOX stretch tool. Absolutely a must have tool in Sketchup. I always draw doors with a frame, so when you use the scale tool it also scales the frame, therefore the stretch tool is a better tool then the scale tool. Sorry but I did not mis anything and it worked like a charm.
-
I will publish a change where the Uniform Scale checkbox is set to what it was when you last left the dialog.

@fredo6
The latest version is causing bugsplats and causing Sketchup not to startup. Is there a place where I can download a previous version of Fredoscale? -

Hi Freddo. I have a suggestion, or I might say a request for help, so that you can improve the visual representation of the deformation points in the same style as the standard zoom tool. It is very inconvenient to look for the point of deformation that is behind the object, I have to either look for it without looking, or turn on the X-ray mode to find it. In the standard zoom tool, these points are highlighted through the object, which is very convenient. Could you add this improvement to make it easier to use the plugin?)) Maybe this feature can be enabled on demand in the settings. Or maybe it already exists, but I couldn’t find it?
I’m attaching 2 screenshots: the first one shows the standard scale tool, and the second one shows FredoScale. (so you can see the difference)

If you wish to use an opposite handle which is hidden, just hover the handle which is visible. You will see the 2 handles and can select the opposite handle.

I understand that you can first aim at the opposite point, highlight the point I need and continue searching for it at random) This is an unprofessional approach)) Wasted time and unnecessary actions. Moreover, you can miss and grab the wrong point. Apparently, you will have to turn on the X-ray mode again, and this is very inconvenient. -
No need to get upset. The behavior of FredoScale was just mimicking the behavior of the native Scale tool.
Simply, Sketchup added these 'hidden' handles visible in SU2026 (maybe even SU2026.2). This is why you have a discrepancy.
I will probably introduce the 'hidden handles' in an update of FredoScale. -
@fredo6 Thank you. This will be a pleasant improvement.
-
I installed the latest version of LibFredo and Fredoscale in SU 2027, a clean install without any other plugins installed, but it did not work. Am I the only one?
-
Fredoscale works as expected for me in SU2027.
