RE: [Plugin] ClothWorks v1.8.0 - 28 Apr 2024
@sashapepperspray
The method File.exists? has long been deprecated, but worked.
In the latest Ruby version it doesn’t - File.exist? - works in v2024 and older versions as well.
Many developers are working to adjust their code accordingly.Have patience and post any instances in an affected extension's thread - as there are 100s of 1000s of line of code with the tiniest corrections needing to be found and change, then the extension re-encrypted and signed…
Many authors have already fixed their extensions, so look regularly to see if there’s already an update available…

RE: PFAS chemical exposure (Heads up)
Liam, get as well as you can soon...
Reminded me of this dickwad
Thomas Midgley Jr. has been named a “one-man environmental disaster” for two big reasons. He was one of the early pioneers of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) – compounds that became widely used in industry – and which were destroying the ozone layer. He also invented leaded gasoline and insisted that it was safe to use.
Perhaps there is a god, because after that he got polio and was partially paralyzed, he invented a pulley contraction on his bed to move him, but one day he became entangled in it and was strangled !

RE: [Plugin] Roof.rb
The SKP you provided has 2 roof faces at z>0 [faces at z0 don't work].
These 2 are identical in edge sizes and orientations/direction.
The one on the right takes a hipped roof OK, but the one on the left fails with an error message.
This is weird.
However, if you follow the advice in the error message on that problem face. and erase one edge and remake t the new face will also take a hipped roof OK.
Something in your model's database is skewed.
But it is fixable... -
RE: SCFLicense: Extension Licensing on Sketchucation

RE: Upgraded PC but now can't export
@grizzler When you [re]installed SketchUp/Layout did you do it properly.
If not then you can repair it without affecting anything you've got set up.
Close SketchUp/Layout.
Find the SketchUp installer's exe file - usually in your Downloads folder.
Select the exe file's icon, right-click > context-menu > "Run as administrator"
When prompted choose "Repair".
When it completes restart your computer and see is SketchUp/Layout now works as you expect...
Running a complex app's installer's exe file by double-clicking it to 'Run' it is not the same thing, even if you have admin powers. -
RE: Julia Eneroth's Viewport Resizer / SketchUp 2023
I use AutoHotkey for many things and it's easy enough to customize once you come to grips with its foibles...
I don't auto-resize viewports, but Rich knows how, and perhaps he can share his example script, or point you/us to someone else's ? -
RE: Purge is crashing SU2024
You should go to the PluginStore and update to the SketchUcation toolset v4.4.0 which has been specially reworked for v2024 compatibility. If deals with the SCF licensing for many extensions.
If you use any of Fredo's extensions, he has also updated them all for v2024 use and don't forget his latest LibFredo too...
After installing these restart SketchUp to sync everything... -
RE: Extensions No Longer Free
Many of Fredo's extensions now require licenses, as do some other authors' work.
These perpetual licenses are relatively inexpensive [typically $7 to $15 each].
There might also be discounted 'bundle' licenses available, e.g. Fredo's bundle contains 8 of his most popular ones.
https://sketchucation.com/purchase.php?plugin=Fredo6Bundle2022
and costs $40/$24 for premium members.Premium members get considerable % discounts.
You also need to install his help LibeFredo6 [free]
licensed extensions also require the SketchUcation Tools [free] installing which sets up the licensing side of things.This page covers all current licensed SCF extensions...

RE: LibFredo6 glitch ... can't install Roundcorner
Have you restarted SketchUp to sync everything ?
Have you installed the SketchUcation Tools needed for licensing ?
Assuming you are using Windows - have you installed Sketchup properly ?
Double-clicking the installer's exe file to 'Run' it is not enough, even if your user account has admin powers - doing so can cause unpredictable issues, often around permissions and file access.
It can be repaired without needing to re-install SketchUp - do the following...
It will leave any installed files etc unaffected...
Close SketchUp.
Find its installer exe file - usually in your Downloads folder [down load a new copy if you no longer have it].
Select the exe file's icon, right-click > context-menu > Run as administrator
When prompted choose Repair.
When it finishes restart SketchUp.Any improvement ?

RE: I installed the latest plugin but it doesn't appear in the menu list
@rutpin
So you installed the FredoScale extension.
I assume you installed it from an RBZ you've downloaded, using the Extension Manager > Install method...
When it's installed it doesn't appear in the 'normal menu list' - by which is must assume you mean 'Extensions', it's under the 'Tools' menu, and also has a Toolbar which you could activate.
I don't understand your 'where do you open the icons' ?? Please explain...You will also need LibFredo6 [for the helper methods] and the SketchUcation Tools [for the licensing] installing...
Restart SketchUp after the installations to sync everything.
After that it doesn't appear, or it is not at least listed in the Extension Manager dialog, then come back for more help...

This is not enough information.
What 'plugin' ?
In which menu is it meant to appear ? -
RE: Not received my Fredo6 License
@f6eao
Support needs to check on this.
Have you checked your email spam-folder, as used in relation to the address used to gain a membership ?If you login to our website and go to the My Licenses page is it listed ?
https://sketchucation.com/webshop/my-licences.php
If so, then you should be able to download it from there... -
RE: [Plugin][$] FredoScale - v3.6a - 01 Apr 24
@rutpin
After you downloaded the RBZ did you install it from the Extension Manager dialog ?
Or are you using the SketchUcation Tools' ExtensionStore³ to auto-install it without an RBZ ?
Do you have the latest LibFredo6 installed as well ?
Do you also have the SketchUcation Tools installed [needed for any licensing] ?
Have you restarted SketchUp after the installations to sync everything ?? -
RE: [Plugin] Smooth Zoom 2.1.0 - 24 October 2021
@Eric5261
File.exists? AND File.exist? methods have worked forever. although the File.exists? method has been deprecated for along time, but someone decided to remove it completely from the Ruby version used by v2024.
This has caused a lot of problems with code - I myself have had several files to fix for full compatibility.
To an English speaker File.exists? is the more logical grammatically correct form, so why it changed is somewhat mysterious.
It's a simple matter for the author to edit the files so only File.exist? is used...
If the file is RB you could edit it to suit, but I'm sure that Anton will fix it asap... -
RE: [Plugin Library] LibFredo6 - v14.5b - 24 May 24
@Finito86
The error message is useful.
It appears that several extensions are failing to load beyond their initial RB file which sets them up, by running another file - often an RBE in its subfolder - that loads all of the stuff necessary for making the menu items, toolbars and running the code.Your errors include the DC and sandBox extensions which ship with SketchUp and get copied into your Plugins folder before it runs and then loads extensions...
It's also failing to load the LibFredo6 and SketchUcation stuff, and Trimble Connect.This suggests a permissions problem in that the files are unreadable.
Let's try with just one issue... SketchUcation
Check in your Plugins folder that SketchUcation.rb and the SketchUcation subfolder exist.
Now in SketchUp open the Ruby Console - Extensions > Developers menu
Type in the bottom section:
load 'SketchUcation.rb'
See what happens - you might get errors similar to what you've posted.
If not then check the Extensions menu for a 'SketchUcation' submenu...
Is so then try typing this:
Sketchup::require('SketchUcation/SCF_loader.rbe')
Does anything happen ?
If not then SketchUp isn't managing to load files it needs...
Close SketchUp.
Try finding your Plugins folder icon in
C:/Users/Finito/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2022/
It's a hidden file but the full path in a Windows Explorer window should open it.
Or choose the Folder Option to show hidden files...
With the Plugins folder icon selected right-click > context-menu > Properties > Security and pick 'Edit...'
Select each of the Groups or user names in turn and ensure that the box for 'Full control' is ticked.
The changes should trickle down to all enclosed files and subfolders etc.
Once it's done OK the dialog and try restarting SketchUp.
Any improvements now... ?? -
RE: [Plugin Library] LibFredo6 - v14.5b - 24 May 24
@Finito86
All of your extensions listed seem to be the newest versions, they are also activated.
So this suggests there's something very wrong with your SketchUp installation than is not creating menu items and Toolbars for them...Can you try the following... it will not affect anything you've customized or installed etc.
Close SketchUp.
Find its installer exe file - usually in your Downloads folder [if necessary download a new copy]
Select the exe file's icon, right-click > context-menu > Run as administrator...
When prompted choose 'Repair'.
When it's finished, restart SketchUp.
See if it's improved things...Running an installer's exe file by double-clicking on it is not the same, even if your user-account has admin powers.
This can cause all kinds of unexpected issues - yours might be an example. -
RE: [Plugin Library] LibFredo6 - v14.5b - 24 May 24
Your Extension Manager ['Administrador de extensiones'] dialog - you have shown us it with the 'Gestionar' [Manage] tab selected in the top bar.
All of your active extensions seem to have 'Desinstalar' [Uninstall] in bold.
'Actualizar' [Update] is in feint.You have not shown us the 'Inicio' [Home] tab.
The entries under the heading 'Habilitar/Deshabilitar' (or 'Activar/Desactivar' ?) [Enable/Disable] should all read 'Activado' [Enabled] - because if they read 'Desactivado' [Disabled] then those extensions won't load, their menu items and toolbars are not then shown etc...
Can you check that ?
You need to restart SketchUp after making such changes... -
RE: Sketchucation Tools on SU 2020
@ntxdave
The current version of SketchUcation Tools works on versions >= v2017
If you have bundles relating to other versions [newer or older], then you should be able to use them in v2020...
