The material loading and updating is normally only done once (and then material information is cached) but it may take time if you have a lot of materials.
By the way, to avoid that ThruPaint discovers new custom materials for some models, the best is to declare your custom materials to Thrupaint, basically designating the root directory where your materials are located as a set of .skm files.

Both RoundCorner and FredoCorner are compatible with SU2024.
FredoCorner is more powerful for irregular shapes and has more options such as the choice of rounding curve, the undoing or change to the rounding later on, uneven rounding offset, the quads for corners, etc.....
RoundCorner is simpler but works as well with many shapes.
The fact is that, with complex shapes, the algorithm of FredoCorner may fail, while it works with RoundCorner, or the reverse. So several users have both plugins.
Can you confirm you installed the latest version of LibFredo6 and LOTT.
Also, can you open the Ruby Console before clicking on the Fnd icon, in case there are error displayed
@MarcusLeon
No. A clip is attached to the model, because it references objects in the model.
LibFredo6 is a library, not really a plugin. It does not have a toolbar.
You now just need to install some of my plugins, like RoundCorner, FredoScale, etc.... and they will appear with their toolbars, once you restart Sketchup.
I think this is related to some non-alphanumeric characters in the name of materials (like %, =, ...). I need to check the code a see whether there is an impact.

Thanks for signaling the problem. I actually forgot to update the plugin.
It's now done with FredoTools v4.5c, just published.
NEW RELEASE: FredoTools v4.5c - 24 Jun 24
Requirement:
FredoTools 4.5c is a maintenance release for:
See FredoTools plugin home page for Download.
See also main post of this thread for User Discussion.
The best would be to upgrade first the plugins to their latest versions:
NEW RELEASE: LordOfTheToolbars v2.7c - 20 Apr 24
Requirements
LordOfTheToolbars 2.7c is a maintenance release for:
Home Page of LordOfTheToolbars for information and Download.
For rounded corner, the radius is limited to half the length of the shortest connecting edge at the corner. This allows to only round long edges when you do it globally.
Deletion of faces happens when you change the number of vertices. It is somehow difficult to maintain the face.
It seems to me that if you created the curve with a specified plane, the edition of vertices will be along the plane.
The old version of ThruPaint is something different (it does not have a material browser integrated).
Do you remember in you did something in your environemnt 2 weeks ago?
Also, does the problem happen with any model?
Could you try to deactivate D5 Render and see if ThruPaint 2.4a behaves better.
Could you open and leave the Ryb console before you invoke ThruPaint, in case there are errors displayed.
Also, did it already work on SU2024 for you? That is:
Could you invoke the menu Window > LibFredo6 Settings...> Fredo6 Plugins information for Sketchucation Support.
This will allow me to understand in which environment and versions you are. It may be problem of installation of my plugins.
Actually, access to menu commands has been removed from LOTT as of SU2023.
This is because of a change of UI framework of Sketchup.
Could you be more accurate on describing the issue:
This sounds possible, but a little bit of work for the GUI (density field and choice of units for weight).
I would do as suggested by Dave R. There are specialized plugins, who can handle much better the real caes where the density varies by object.
Could you explain what exactly does not work.. Thanks
