          NEW RELEASE 4.0 - 30 Aug 2013

          Important update made necessary for the release LibFredo6 5.2 when it comes

          This is in relation with the lengthy changes of naming conventions to my plugins (LibFredo6 will now be based on the name Fredo6_!LibFredo6). If you do not upgrade, then you will continue loading the previous version of LibFredo6.

          Also available on the SCF Plugin Store.

            NEW RELEASE 4.1 - 01 Sep 2013

            Change of name of the Plugin file and Important update made necessary for the release LibFredo6 5.2 when it comes

            the ruby file is now named !AdditionalPluginFolders.rb instead of 000_AdditionalPluginFolders.rb.

            This should be transparent to you, but it is a good idea to delete the old file 000_AdditionalPluginFolders.rb. If you have LibFredo6 installed, you can do it via the Purge Obsolete Files utility.

            This is in relation with the lengthy changes of naming conventions to my plugins (LibFredo6 will now be based on the name Fredo6_!LibFredo6). If you do not upgrade, then you will continue loading the previous version of LibFredo6.

            Sorry for inconvenience with all these name changes, but it is part of the general evolution to have a cleaner footprint of files and folders for scripts.

                        I've got an issue with the TIG's extrusion Tools and don't find the solution.

                        Here is the error message :

                        TIG-Error.jpg
                        I've got only four icons in the toolbar :

                        TIG-Toolbar.jpg
                        Here is my AdditionalPluginFolder :

                        TIG-Explorer.jpg

                        Any idea ?

                        Many thanks ! ๐Ÿ˜‰

                          The Extrude tools requires deBabelizer.rb loading [as the message tells you].
                          It translates text, menus etc into other locales' langauages...
                          This additional .rb file is supplied inside the main tool's RBZ archive or AutoInstalled version.
                          BUT if you have never installed it, or later on you have removed it then it will break this and several other plugins that will not load or work without its presence.
                          If you have Disabled it using the Plugins Manager then you would have been warned about the consequences: in this case permanently Enable it if you want to be able to load/use any of the tools that need it... If not, then reinstall it properly and check that the files are ALL includes in the installation...

                          Here is a view of the contents of the Extrude tools archive - the same two rb files and subfolder [containing several other files] need to be be in your Plugins folder in the same relative relationships [you can use a custom-plugins folder if desired]

                            Precision : All my plugIns are up to date.

                            Any help ? ๐Ÿ˜‰

                              Your plugins are NOT up to date ๐Ÿ˜’
                              You have an older version of my Extrude tools files shown in the Plugins folder.
                              The current version is NOT there !
                              Get and install the latest version.
                              See my recent post - the tool now installs deBabaleizer.rb and then ExtrudeTools.rb and the matching ExtrudeTools subfolder [neither of which are shown in your list!].
                              All earlier 'EEby...' rb files are auto-deleted by the newer script's reload ?
                              You need to restart SketchUp and see what happens...

                              You also seem to have separate issues with some of Fredo's plugins...

                              Are you sure you have set your Plugins folder's context-menu > Properties > Security > Edit... to have read/write permissions 'FULL', for every user/group in the list. Also set SketchUp.exe Properties > Compatibility... to 'Always run as Administrator'...

                                    Issue with Shape Bender.
                                    It doesn't work when SB files and folder are placed in the AdditionalPluginFolder but works fine when placed in the SU plugins folder.

                                      This is a known issue in any version using a non-standard Plugins folder.
                                      Reread the ShapeBender thread.
                                      I have recently posted a simple change to the loader script's code that fixes it to load from anywhere in the $LOAD_PATH list...

                                          thanks a lot for Shape Bender, works fine now !

                                          I've got the same problem with Didier Bur's Projections.
                                          Do you think you could do something for us if you've got a quiet moment ? ๐Ÿ˜ณ

                                            Edit the loader ' projection_extension.rb' file
                                            In line#2:
                                            Sketchup::require Sketchup.find_support_file("Plugins") + '/Projection/projection'
                                            add a leading # to disable it:
                                            #Sketchup::require Sketchup.find_support_file("Plugins") + '/Projection/projection'
                                            Then add in a line below it thus:
                                            Sketchup::require(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), 'Projection', 'projection'))
                                            It should now work properly from any Plugins folder's location, provided that the loader rb and the folder of other files are in the same Plugins folder... [although the rbs format for the main code file is an perhaps unknown quantity]...
