      I am having difficulty accessing the "Instructor window accessible from within the extension" refenced in YouTube and SkechUcation for FedoSpline version 2.4. Is this a add-in or am I missing something?

        This is what I'm seeing with the Instructor panel open.

          I updated the version, but it prompts the following dialog, how can I make it work?

          Error in the License Validation
          Response from Sketchucation: License seats exceeded.

            Make sure the Sketchucation Tool is also up to date and then go into Tools>Fredo6 Collection>FredoSpline>License and release seats.

            What version of SketchUp are you actually using? Your profile indicates a version that has never existed.

              As said in a PM I sent you, you need to release at least one seat. You have 3 taken currently.

                I've been using it on one of my own computers since I purchased the license, but every time I update it, it always tells me I need to activate it. After this update , it doesn't work, what am I doing wrong?

                  Again, what version of SketchUp are you using? There is no 2020 Free/Make version.

                  Did you correctly install whatever version you are using? On Windows that requires right clicking on the download installer and selecting Run as administrator. If you didn't do that Windows security can prevent required files from being written. Quit SketchUp, find the SketchUp installer, right click on it, choose Run as administrator, and when it is presented, choose Repair.

                    I have only SketchUp 2020 installed and I use a vpn proxy to access the internet, I don't know if it has any effect. I will try your method, thank you!

                      It certainly could.

                        Fredo, In SU 2023, latest lib and FredoSpline..
                        I have problems with Convert command inside context it olny shows preview but doesn't allow to convert and exit. It works as expected if the same geometry is placed out of context. I PM you some example. Could you fix it please?
                        Yet another problem (not new one): Curves from FredoSpline can't serve as paths for Profile Builder Assemblies (unfortunately they need to be exploded), but do work with PB profiles.

                          Could anybody try Convert tool inside context in v2023 please? Is it working for you?
                          This function is too important for me so I have to get back to 2022.

                            It works for me.
                            Could you open the Ruby Console before launching the conversion, in case there are error messages.

                            EDIT: I found the error, and this is specific to SU2023. It works in SU2022 as you mentioned. I need to investigate...

                                  The issue was signaled during the Beta testing but was not fixed in the release (among other issues and bugs).

                                    Another thing.. Grouping curves generated with FS turn them into regular dumb curves (for example it's not possible to edit the filets anymore). Is it possible to preserve FredoSpline properties inside group?

                                      Do you think this bug potentially could lead to the Drape tool stop working inside context?

                                        It is fairly possible... SandBox is an extension and can be affected the same way as other plugins. The bug introduced in SU2023 could affect many plugins actually.
                                        Just open the Ruby Console when you play with the Drape Tool. if you see traces with erase_entities, then it is the same problem. Fortunately, there is a workaround and I guess the Sketchup team should fix it without waiting for the next version of SU2023.

                                          Do you have an example of that. I am not sure I understand.
