...should I move sketchup.rb and extensions.rb into the plugins folder?
No, that's gonna lead to a world of pain and misery
Extensions/Plugin live at...
C;\Users\SomeName\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2022\SketchUp\PluginsThe path to Tools is...
C;\Program Files\SketchUp\SketchUp 2022\Tools...and its not a directory you mess with.

On SU2017 the paths might not be the same, but the Tools folder philosophy remains the same. Don't move stuff in or out.

Ok, The folders look the same. Maybe I just have to reload the program after rebooting the PC, I have found that to work sometimes in the past.
One thing, Does the Fredo6 tools have its own menu? How does it look on screen? Maybe I have it and just don't know it!
edit:
Well, I feel stupid, I have 2013 loaded to allow working with newer files I find online. It runs too slow on my machine which is one reason I stay with 2007 v7. Anyway, it defaults as the program to open .skp files for some reason. my v7 sits in a Google directory, so I guess it is invisible to windows for loading. So, I copied a duplicate SU7 into it's own directory. However, the icon on desktop still points to the one in google directory! I have been adding stuff to the other one, but clicking on the icon and not finding anything. I just Created a new icon shortcut, and now all the Fredo6 stuff it right there where it should be!Thanks for the help anyway!

What version of Windows are you using? If Windows 10 or 11, did you install SketchUp correctly by right clicking on the installer file abd selecting Run as administrator from the Context menu? If you didn't do that it could be that SketchUp doesn't have some of the required permissions to write to certain folders.

It has been perhaps 10 years ago when I loaded SU7, but I think I did use the loader. It seems that for what ever reason, windows 10 (and 8 before that) looked for sketchup directory, and didn't find it in the google directory. With SU7 in it's own directory at same level as the original Google directory, when I click on a file it gives me the choice of SU7 and SU2013, so I think that part is ok. AS I said, once i got the icon path right I found the correct instance and all the new plugins are in place.

So in other words, it wasn't installed correctly for Windows 10.
The version you are using is so ancient I don't have it installed on my machine anymore. If I could look at your computer's file tree I could refresh my memory as to where and how the extension files should be installed.
BTW, please fill out your profile with SketchUp version and operating system info. That helps us help you.

I updated my profile, I suppose it has been so long since I've logged in that it was lost in sketchucation updates or something.
Not sure how to "print" a file tree, but everything is working ok now. I just was able to execute the rounded corners on a part to be printed on my A8, so all the Fredo6 stuff seems ok. If you want to pique your memory on the SU7 in win10, I'll try to generate the file tree, otherwise my questions have been answered .

After Fredo Corner 2,6 update , the plugin doesnt work on SU2019.
The plugin is installed properly, bought with licence, and it is marked as signed , but it doesnt appear in the plugins menu so I cant run that. The 2,5 version has worked well.
How to run that???

Make sure you also have the latest versions of LibFredo6 and the Sketchucation Extension Store tool installed. Then quit and restart SketchUp.

reinstaling the Lib helped , thanks

Hi, is there any way to get curviloft to work with Sketchup 2015 on a Mac. I lost my old computer, but some version of it used to work on there. Is there any other way to loft with Sketchup 2015? Thank you for your help and quality products.

There is no older version of Curviloft. It requires SketchUp 2017 or newer. There are other lofting plugins/extensions available that might work for. You might look at TIG's Extrude Tools to start.
-
Thank you! That kind of worked. I need to loft a mesh along a curving loop. TIG worked as a line, but I would like to loft the mesh. Is there any other lofting tools. Simple loft did not work at all. Thank you so much for your help.

Hello.
The Legacy Round Corner file is not the <2017 but a <2016 (=<2015) as its not working with my 2016 and presents me the message that this is a legacy Roundcorner suitable only for versions prior to 2016
Can we have the downloadable file replaced by the actual file compatible up to 2016?
Thank you -
