      Hi Fred,

      Great plugin! I found an issue where when editing the points on a closed curve that defines a surface - sometimes the surface will break for no reason. It works as expected on most edits but regularly there are some edits that just won't work, even when a plane is selected. I haven't been able to establish a pattern of what causes the issue to happen. I found a workaround for the moment but it's time consuming - once the surface disappears after an edit, I copy the curve and paste onto a new surface. My workaround actually proves that my curve is still flat and the issue is indeed a bug. Please let me know if you'd like me to send a video of the reproduction.

      J

      EDIT:

      Here is a link to the a reproduction of the issue: https://www.dropbox.com/s/k0ilok2zwdcay6n/Sketchup%20FredoSpline%20Bug%20Repro%20HB.mp4?dl=0

      As you can see toward the end of the video, editing the points sometimes break for no apparent reason. This has been a workflow killer for me as it prevents from editing curved borders in situ.

      PS: Unfortunately, I was not able to attach it here as mp4 are not allowed.

        Fredo Spline not showing popup menu or control points

        SketchUp 2017 installed on Mac OSX 10.14.6 (Mojave). FredoSpline_v2.3a, LibFredo6_v12.5b installed.

        Sketchup working normally. FredoSpline toolbar loads, able to show quick launcher. When Create toolbar button pressed, no popup menu shows up; quill pointer shows up with no “+”, and clicking does not add control points

          Could you open the Ruby console before launching FredoSpline, to see if there are errors displayed.

            What an awesome tool! Works well, but I ran into an unexpected problem.

            What works well? When I draw brand new curves in an empty/new workspace.

            What doesn't work (for me)? When I try to copy/trace a curve. It won't allow me to even add a point on top of an image. I would load a drawing, and I want to trace the curves on it, but the tool won't allow me even moving into the bounds of the loaded image. The cursor gets stuck on the boundary between the "open space" and the loaded image...

            Any ideas?

              Share a SketchUp model file in which this happens so we can see what you are working with and trying to accomplish.

                Hi Fredo,
                I cannot reply directly to you, so here goes...

                It looks like your fix worked! I only did some rudimentary testing, but the initial issue doesn't exist anymore. This is great news, thank you so much for such a quick response! MUCH appreciated!

                  There was a bug in FredoSpline when drawing over an image.

                  This should be fixed with LibFredo6 v13.3a.

                    Hi there

                    I hope this is the right place to post this, apologies if it isn't, and many thanks in advance for any help that can be afforded to me.

                    I have SketchUp 2022 installed (22.0.354 64-bit), along with FredoSpline 2.3a and LibFredo6 13.4a.

                    For some reason when I try to use FredoSpline, nothing happens, none of the buttons do anything. Any ideas? I've attached a gif that shows what I mean.

                    Many thanks.

                    Paul

                      I would recommend that you upgrade to LibFredo6 v13.5a. There was apparently a bug in v13.4 that prevented my plugins to work in some situations.

                        Fredo, I really miss ability to select multiple desired vertices on multiple splines and change their properties at once (radius in case of polycornerarc for example). Is it implementable?

                          Yu can act on several control points of one spline curve, but not on several curves. The edition is by curve. It would complex and prone to side-effects to edit multiple curves at the same time.

                            Thanks for info I didn't know it's possible to select several points with control key pressed.
                            And is it possible to add selecting with crossing window?

                            Too bad.. it's very limitating

                                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?

                                      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.
