RoundCorners and LibFredo
-
Hi guys,
just downloaded SU13 yesterday, have been using since very good
, one of my most used plugins was (And hopefully still is) Round-corners By Fredo6 Fantastic plugin.I am having some serious problems with getting both too work with SU13 at first when i started SU13 up i got a message saying..
"LibFredo..... Cannot start because the file "DEFPARAM_Dir" is missing" (<--Not The Whole Message)
So i added a file in "Plugins" called "DEFPARAM_Dir" There are no messages when i start it up and my round corners tool bar comes up, i can move it around attach it to my interface etc but when i click the icons (All 3) absolutely nothing happens, i may just be being stupid but iv been racking my Brains all day and searching the Web for a solution, Any help would be greatly appreciated as i'm falling behind with work.
Many Thank Rohgan :unamused:PS. Thank you Fredo6 for your amazing plugins, They have helped me so much. Keep up the good work

This sounds like the SketchUp 2013 folder has got the limited default security setting, which Windows gives to all new folders/files installed within the Program Files folder.
The permissions of the containing folder dictates the contents' settings...
At the moment Fredo's tools sometimes needs to write info to files/subfolders within Plugins.
With admins-powers... select the 2013 Plugins folder's icon, right-click > context-menu > Properties > Security > Edit... ensure everyone on the list has FULL permissions... Also set SketchUp.exe to 'run as administrator' in its Properties > Compatibility settings...If you have limited access-rights you may not have installed the some plugins like it appears, some files/folder might be within a 'VirtualStore' - having a 'Compatibility Files...' link button in the top bars of the Plugins folder's Window Explorer window is a sure sign...
Once your permissions are FULL you should be able to install plugins OK...
Fredo's tools/Lib were updated some weeks ago to suit the requirements of v2013, so make sure you also have these latest versions installed in v2013... Use the SCF PluginStore to download the files [Resources mneu...], OR install and then use the AutoInstall feature of the SketchUcation Plugin Store toolset... Unusually, even with a RBZ-Install/AutoInstall some of Fredo's tools need a SketchUp restart to effect all of the changes when 'updating'...

I downloaded the plugin but I need to access the RoundCorner tool in Sketchup 2014. How do I find the tool?

Did you also get/install the newest Lib Fredo from the PluginStore?
That is need by most of Fredo's tools to work.
Once set up properly these tools have Toolbar and/or Menu/submenu entries - this is clearly explained in each tool's main pages...
