I would love to buy the [Plugin][$] FredoCorner - v2.3a - 27 Jan 21. However, I am completely lost in where to go to purchase it. Could you please put a link to click that will bring me to the purchase page. I reckon it would have a massive impact on your sales because most people do not have time to follow the hints to where it might be. Brilliant plugin, but please help me to buy it!

Just download and install FredoCorner normally (along with LibFredo6 v11.6).

You get a free trial period of 15 days.

If you wish to license it (before or at expiration of free trial period), go to the menu of FredoCorner, which is at Tools > Fredo6 Collection > FredoCorner > License....

Is FredoCorner free for as long as you are happy to keep updating it? Or is the trial period 15 days and after that, you have to buy it?

I am an occasional user and have just encountered an unexpected problem and its been suggested that this is because I havn't bought it.. And if thats the case I accept that..

But I just want to check that this is the case, as I only use it a couple of times per year, and for me its just not cost effective to buy.

The license is to use the extension. After expiration of the free trial period, you need to buy one if you wish to continue using the extension.

The problem of preselection has nothing to do with the license. FredoCorner would either work or not.

I suggest you open the Ruby console before launching FredoCorner to see if there are error messages.

But as I am out of the evaluation period, its not fair to ask for support... I would have no problem buying FredoCorner if I used it enough.. But I don't and its just not worth it for me..

Edit: Turned out to be a bigger issue.. Other Fredotools (i.e Fredospine) also not working.. It turns out it was a rogue instance of Sketchup which was running in the background.. Killed the tasks from the taskmanager and now its working again.

Now that I have realised that my time with FredoCorner is limited, I need to "evaluate" it to see if there is any functionality that I can find to justify buying it.

One of the things I have always wondered is whether its possible to do an unsymetrical corner?

By this, I mean longer on one axis, than another..

Here is a simulation of what I am trying to explain.

Is this possible?

Yes.. EXACTLY that.. How? I have pressed every button I can find, and its always symetrical (i.e the Offset is the same on both axis..

Start the tool and set the initial offset and then click on the green lines that need to get a different offset. Then type that offset. It'll show in the Measurements window.

Go to the first post of this thread and watch the videos.

I am such a d***.. I got to this point many times.. And when I clicked on the green line it says "Select other Offset Lines or enter a new offset in the VCB"... And I expected a popup to come up, like it does when you set the "normal" offset.

I didn't realise that you just have to type.

Makes perfect sense now.. Never even thought to try that before now...

Thanks!

In the main post about Sketchucation License, there is a link to a PDF explaining the whole process (in English).

If you have been able to post here in this forum, it means you are already registered on Sketchucation (and I assume you know how to do it, so you can explain it in Russian).

For the license of FredoCorner,

1 - In Sketchup just go to menu Tools > Fredo6 Collection > FredoCorner > License...

2 - In the Licensing dialog box, click on the 'Obtain License Button'.

3 - You are redirected to Sketchucation.com to purchase the license

4 - Once done, you receive an email with the purchased license file attached. Save it on your computer in a safe place.

5 - To activate the license, go to the same licensing dialog and click on 'Validate License'

6 - Browse and select the purchased license file which was sent to you by email.

7 - This is done.

re: seat limit and licenses

God day, I am The LEGO companies Sketchup admin and wonder would like to include the latest Fredocorner release to our plugin collection.

The company scripts a SU package with plugins included, Sketchucation should not be part of the basic package as most users won't use the Sketchucation plugins and it adds a level of complexity. Some users might use FredoCorner, most not. (maybe 5 -15 users)

I wonder how to best approach the licensing issue as it will be hard administer individual seats / usage. Would that mean I need to install the SUcation plugin and seat license for the users that actually need Fredo corner? I'm also worried about budget for individual seats run up compared to the SU budget. They might ask me to find an alternative if the setup is too complex/time consuming.

Will there be something like a studio license so I can avoid individual seats or floating licenses?

Feel free to PM me, looking forward to hearing from you

Loving this plugin but my trial has expired and I can't buy the license...any tips?
I have tried uninstalling , restarting , downloading again but of course it remembers the trial version had expired...all I get is this when I click on 'manage license'.

Any help greatly appreciated.
