no curviloft?

Can you tell why I can't load the plugin?
I have already installed the latest version of LibFredo6.

I have already installed the latest version of LibFredo6.Can you check the footprint of the files.
In the Plugins directory, you should have the Folder FREDOTOOLS_Dir_10 with all the files in it.
It looks like you have the rb files directly in the Plugins directory, not in this folder.Fredo

Thanks for your explanation. It works!

Hi Fredo,
very nice plugin!
I've been thinking of a similar plugin, which you could incorporate into this one:- For planning and adjusting areas of a house (to suit program requirements) - it would be nice to have the option to save a selection of faces, and see how the areas update as you change them in sketchup.
You have the "areas report" window on ALL THE TIME. You select the faces and components you want once - which gives you the areas. After that you can continue editing the model and the numbers change as you drag lines and change areas - kind of like a set of "entity infos" open all the time for a specific set of pre selected faces. If it cannot be updated "live" you could have an update button (with a keyboard shortcut of course) that would update the info in the box + the different tags.
see attached mockup image (numbers are just gibberish for illustration)
-
you could have selection sets in pre selected colors for interiors, exteriors etc... kind of like the areas by material, but rather by custom selection.
-
you could have sub-totals for faces that were marked together.
-
selecting a face or faces in the list will mark them in the model
-
I noticed that if I use the standard tool for marking the area of a face in a scaled component, it will show the same area for the component in each of it's differently scaled instances (which makes sense). By what I've noticed, your plugin knows how to over come that, right?

This is possible, but this requires a slightly different design, especially because you need this information to be persistent across Sketchup sessions. I may give it a try whenever I have time, either as an extension of the plugin or as a new plugin.

Yes, the plugin counts the real areas within each component, taking into account the scaling factor and shear factor.

That would be really cool Fredo!
I'd be glad to contribute with the conceptual design whenever you get around to it. I may have some further ideas as to how this tool could be useful, more effective and easy to use. -

I am not really user of the tool, and it's good to hear from users who have practice and requirement about areas in Sketchup.

Tried the new curveloft tool set. This is all the errors it generates when I open SketchUp.
Now WHAT?

This seems to be a problem of installation, probably coming from an erroneous unzip operation.
The right footprint is indicated in the first post:- file LibFredo6.rb
- Folder LIBFREDO6_Dir_43
- Folder FREDOTOOLS_Dir_10
