      Share the .skp file so we can see what you have set up and try to fix it.

    • RE: [Plugin][$] RoundCorner - v3.4a - 31 Mar 24

      @gabrielaher you have a current subscription license for SketchUp, correct? If so, the only license you need to buy to use RoundCorner is the RoundCorner license fee.

      Is it possible to set the model's scale value using an automatic text command?

      Yes, you can use a label anchored to a viewport. In Shape Style you can edit the leader color to make it transparent.

      There are a number of scrapbook items that already have this sort of thing set up. Bring in the Scrapbook item and drop it on the viewport. Then move it off leaving the leaders anchored to the model.

    • RE: Materials in Sketchup post onedrive removal.

      So here?

      Try repairing the installation. Right click on the downloaded installer, choose Run as administrator, then pick the Repair option. Then do a cold reboot of the computer. Any change?

    • RE: Materials in Sketchup post onedrive removal.

      I presume you are referring to your own custom materials?

      Is this the same in both versions of SketchUp?

      Have there ever been materials in the User/AppData/ ... /Materials folder or were you saving them on OneDrive?

    • RE: Rounding edges

      If I were modeling something like that I would use either FredoCorner or Round corner to radius the edges. I'f I wanted the cross sections of the frame members to be actually circular, I'd have modeled that way instead of using square profiles.

    • RE: LibFredo6 update ?

      Find the currently installed version of LibFredo6 by going to Window>LibFredo6 Settings...

      Screenshot - 4_21_2026 , 5_06_56 PM.png

      Since you must have the Sketchucation Extension Store installed to manage the licenses for Fredo's extensions, open the Extension Store tool and use it to install LibFredo6 as well as any other extensions that need updating including the Sketchucation Extension Store. If you installed LibFredo6 and Fredo's extensions using the ExtensionStore tool it will keep track of extensions that get updated and let you know those updates are available. Here I've just opened the ExtensionStore tool and clicked on the red bell at the top. It shows there's an update today for LibFredo6 and Thru Paint.
      Screenshot - 4_21_2026 , 5_10_24 PM.png
      Clicking on the Update All button will update the extensions.

    • RE: LibFredo6 update ?

      None of your screenshots show which LibFredo6 version you have installed.

      What about the Sketchucation Extension Store tool?

      Please update your forum profile to include the SketchUp version and operating system.

    • RE: LibFredo6 update ?

      What version of LibFredo6 does it show you have in Extension Manager?

      What version of SketchUp are you using?

      Did you quit and restart SketchUp after updating LibFredo6?

      Do you have the current version of the Sketchucation Store tool installed?

    • RE: My Fredo licenses don't work anymore

      You say you tried lots of stuff but did you do what the message in your last screenshot tells you to do? You don't specifically mention that. Click on the Yes button and delete the signature file for the extension. Then activate the license again. It would be best after removing the signature files to close SketchUp and do a cold reboot of your computer. Then activate the licenses.

      Do you have the most recent version of the Sketchucation tool and LibFredo6 installed?

      No new yet. Still the same as it's been.

    • RE: Soap Bubble

      Keep your fingers crossed but don't hold your breath. The last release expires today. Seems there's no word from the author or the last distributor of it so I don't hold much hope.

      This is precursor of things to come with Sketchup.

      Well, that might be a little over the top.

      It's possible the author decided it was too much trouble keeping the extension up to date since they were giving away their time and effort. Maybe they decided they weren't getting enough downloads on it anymore. Hard to say.

      Who knows, maybe they accidentally removed it early with intentions of replacing it in a couple of days.

    • RE: Soap Bubble

      The current version was about to expire. It looks like the author has removed it from the Extension Warehouse. Their website doesn't appear to offer a download for it either. It may be the author has decided to remove it rather than continue supporting it.

    • RE: FredoCorner merging separate faces

      If you want realism the frame parts would need to be separate componets. If you aren't going to model that way, just draw in the edges after radiusing the frame.

    • RE: FredoCorner merging separate faces

      Make the rails and stiles components so the faces don't get merged.

      Ah ... So the file needs to be saved before using the extension. Makes sense.

      This is very cool Fredo!

      I've installed it and tried using it with some 3D Text as you did. When I click to finalize I get an error. Here's the TXT file generated by the extension. I did update LibFredo6 before installing FredoBend and I did a restart of SketchUp.

      Ruby Error - FredoBend Along Curve - 25-Mar-26 07_35_40 - SU2026.1 - LibFredo6 - v15.9a.txt

    • RE: Fredo Corner issues, need experts to enlighten me.

      Due to differences in the extensions, there are some times when Round Corner works better than FredoCorner.
