      Hello. I've been using this plugin for several years now and really like it. I use version 1.3. For me, it is more convenient and I don’t want to switch to an earlier version, it doesn’t suit me.
      Version 1.3 has difficulty compatability with FredoSketch. When holding down the Ctrl button (in FredoSketch), it is not possible to make a soft selection ((
      Is it difficult for you to tweak version 1.3 for me to work well with FredoSketch?
      Thank you very much.

        The problem with smooth zoom is its uniformity. For example, if I'm located 900m from the building I'm modeling duration 400 is perfect - one hair scroll and I'm in the right place. But if I need to zoom in in finer manner to refine the handle on the entrance door duration 400 is too addressee, 100 is better value. Maybe scrolling with some modifier key (if it'd exist) would help?

          Anton, with the latest version I have model jumping like rabbit while scrolling for zoom in. It happens on the 2nd (left) monitor, the situation on the main one (right) is better. 😕

            Hi Anton!
            In older versions, the flight stopped when the wheel was pressed. Now there is no stopping. I've been using this for a few years now and I'm very used to it. At settings around 600ms, this gave precise and smooth control. 😢

                  It gives this error on both the library and the extension. Does anyone have a solution?

                    File.exists? AND File.exist? methods have worked forever. although the File.exists? method has been deprecated for along time, but someone decided to remove it completely from the Ruby version used by v2024.
                    This has caused a lot of problems with code - I myself have had several files to fix for full compatibility.
                    To an English speaker File.exists? is the more logical grammatically correct form, so why it changed is somewhat mysterious.
                    It's a simple matter for the author to edit the files so only File.exist? is used...
                    If the file is RB you could edit it to suit, but I'm sure that Anton will fix it asap...

                        Guys, this tool is exceptional, yet (instead of complaining about it), you should give yourself the chance to try at least for 3 weeks a Space Mouse (or 3D Mouse) from 3D Connexion.
                        No opinion from YouTube (or from yourself) doesn't weigh as much as 3 weeks of day-to-day use of this device - 3 weeks is the minimum your brain needs to understand and use this device, and after that, you will ask yourself how could you ever work without it, and you will never work without it (i have 3 of them).
                        This device is priceless.!

                              Until there's a fix available, because the error is in a RB file you can edit it with a plain-text editor like Notepad++.exe
                              Find where it says File.exists? and change it to File.exist?
                              Both method coexisted for ever and were equivalent to each other, but in >=v2024 someone chose to deprecate the original correct-English sounding version, and cause authors issues.
                              After you save that edit restart SketchUp to see if that fixed it...

                                  Read my reply above yours, it outlines how to do a manual fix on the RB file, until the author responds.

                                      You need to install it into v2025 from the RBZ - with errors.
                                      Then close SketchUp and find the RB file in your Plugins folder, open it it with Notepad++.exe and do the edit as outlined above...
                                      The installed file is C:/Users/YOURUSERNAME/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2025/SketchUp/Plugins/ams_SmoothZoom/extension_manager.rb

                                          So that error seems to relate to a missing directory or file.
                                          You need to wait for the author to resolve this .
                                          Sorry.
