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...

Huge news thank you so much Fredo!

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.

I'd love to see those reports, was it opened discussion?

rv1974

Well I tested the latest FredoSpline in v2023 unfortunately almost everything is broken (in context): Edit, Swap etc. This is the worst SU release ever since v2 . Tons of crashes on start and during all sorts of procedures. Will have to get back to v2022 till they'd sort it out

Dave R

I'm not having any crashes of SU2023 at all. It's been very stable for me.

they published a new build - Swap Curves and Sandbox's Drape (not yours, I know) still don't work in context.
Will have to skip this version too

hello. I'm a Korean user who uses Fredo's products usefully.
A little while ago, I purchased a license for 'fredo spline' and pressed the 'Download' button,
but the result is a white screen with only the text below.

/pluginrepo/rbz/

/var/www/html/pluginrepo/rbz/FredoSpline.rbz
File does not exist. Make sure you specified correct file name.

If anybody know a solution, please send 'e-mail' to help. Thank you.

Question

I paid for a license, however my plugin keeps telling me it doesnt work due to the fact that i have not the latest version of it. I keep on installing v 2.5 over and over but it keeps sending me the same message. It used to work perfectly in an older version. I cannot seem to fix the issue.

Any thoughts or people experiencing the same issue?
