Often this is due to a misbehaving extension. Try turning off all your extensions in the Extension Manager and see if the problem continues. If not, start enabling them half at a time until the issue reappears to isolate the offender.

Hi,

Running the latest version of Sketchup 2014 on a Mac.
Firstly haven't been able to run Round Corners for a few months despite multiple attempts to download it. It simply doesnt load. I used to use it.
Secondly I want to make sure I have latest LibFredo 6.3, but no idea what "non-asciii" name means and if I am out of luck. Either way I can't seem to get the latest up and running. My needs are simple, I run a few plugins but always run into these irritating problems with plugins.
I use Ext Warehouse but Lib Fredo is apparently out of date there.
I know how to load plugins directly into my plugins library myself also.
Thanks in advance!

Non-ascii is simply a reference to accentuated characters, cyrillic, etc... Release 6.3 is mainly to address some issues for username with such characters (since SU14 stores plugins in a direct folder ory Under the Users directory on Windows). Normally, Mac should not be concerned.

I recommend you install from the Sketchucation Plugin Store, which is simply one click.

Unfortunately publishing on the Extension Warehouse takes longer because there is a formal review by the Sketchup team. So version 6.3 (and by the way version 6.2) were submitted but are not yet published officially on EWH, pending this review.

Now, if you have a problem of installation, try to explain what it is if you want anyone here on SCF to help.

The video is correct the only difference is that on a Mac the Preferences is in a slightly different place.

Select Window > Preferences (Microsoft Windows) or SketchUp > Preferences (Mac OS X). The Preferences dialog box is displayed.
Click on Extensions. The Extensions panel is displayed.
Click on the Install Extension button. The Open dialog box is displayed.
Locate the Ruby zip file to install (.rbz).
Click on the Open button.

You just need to download the .rbz file and install it using the preferences dialog. Don't put it in the plugins folder.

Also be aware that the location of the plugins folder has changed with SU2014.
I'm not a mac user so I can't tell you where it is, but it may explain your issue with other plugins not working correctly.

It would help if you filled in your profile too.

Anybody else having this problem? LibFredo and various Fredo plugins all worked OK in SKP 8, but will not load into my new Skp 2013 without major crash upon opening the program. Will have to work in Skp 8 until this is sorted out, any help much appreciated! Thx!

If you are on Mac, make sure you upgrade to LibFredo6 4.9c.
