It doesn't work for me

If there are errors in the Ruby Console you should post those to help Fredo determine the cause.

I presume you have an updated LibFredo installed.

[alexpacio2013]

@Rich-O-Brien Latest version of FredoBend 1.2b and FredoLib 15.9a. Everything is up to date.

Looks great Fredo. This is destructive one, isn't it? No way to edit afterwards

Для FredoBend можно добавить опцию, при которой изменяется только верхний контейнер , а подконтейнер остается недеформированным.

I think that's what you need. At least it would be great to experience it. Thank you.

mx_constructtools

It looks like the plugin mx_constructtools is redefining a base method (Array#sum), which is not a good practice and is dangerous for other plugins. This is causing the error.

The bent object is of course new geometry.

However, as shown in the main video:

• the original object is untouched
• If you modify this original object, you can update the bent object in one click.
• you can also edit the bent object and change the bending parameters. If the original object has been modified, the new bent object will be updated.
• there is an option to save a copy of the original object to an external file. This is for the case where you delete the original object in the model, including its definition.

Hi all,
running FredoBend v1.2b with LibFredo v15.9a on SU 2019 / Win11 and i've got an issue on the bend generation step with this error log :

In the Parameters window / Generation parameters, i don't see the build options as shown in the tuto :

Is that the problem ?

Many thanks. I am lazy to do it.
Just PM the .lang files to me on this forum.
For LibFredo6, this is useful.
For FredoBend, I did not make it translatable yet, until I finish the other features. So, the translation is uncomplete.
