Ah ... So the file needs to be saved before using the extension. Makes sense.
No. you can use FredoBend on New models.
The SaveCopy feature is just for saving a copy of the original solid to file (in subfolder FredoBend Saved Containers). This is simply not done if the model is new.
NEW RELEASE: FredoBend v1.2b - 25 Mar 26
Requirements
FredoBend 1.2b is a maintenance release including:
Home Page of FredoBend for information and Download.
Thanks for reporting. The bug is fixed. Actually, there is an option to save a copy of the original container to file. This allows to edit the bent generated container even if the original container has been removed from the model. However, it assumes that you don't work on a new model, since the saved copy is in the same directory as the model.
I am also introducing an option for
New version will be published later today.
The information on FredoBend is maintained on the Plugin Home Page of FredoBend. This is also where you can download the RBZ file.
FredoBend is a plugin dealing with bending geometry along curves and over surface.
There are 3 tools published:
** Bend Along Curve takes a container, a curve (or sequence of edges) and bends the geometry of the container along the curve with various options.
** Circular Bend bends a container along an arc of circle in 3D with various options
** Dome Bend bends a container along two arcs of circle in 3D with various options. This allows to build domes, toruses or saddles
FredoBend allows to modify the bending the parameters, a well as updating the bent container when the original container has been changed.
No documentation for the time being

NEW RELEASE: LibFredo6 v15.9a - 25 Mar 26

Requirements: SU2017 and above
See plugin home page of LibFredo6 for Download of LibFredo6.
What is the message about the subfolder missing? I don't see it
Which plugins of mine do you have installed?
If you can start Sketchup with LibFredo6, could you invoke the menu Window > LibFredo6 Settings > Fredo6 Plugins Information for Sketchucation Support... and send me the output text which is displayed in the Ruby console.
Thanks
Top level geometry cannot be assigned patterns directly via mouse. Instead, they use the pattern 'Toplevel geometry' in the Special Defaults
Is your geometry within a group or component?
I understad that users have access to my plugins when they start Sketchup.
If so, then the problem is with the licenses.
License files are supposed to be located in the localappdata directory, which depends on the login account.
So, if the students log with their own account, I guess the license files are not found since they are in the localappdata of the admin account.
Currently, the localappdata directory is hardcoded in SCFLicense. So, it would require a modification to enable a custom directory.
Are you on Mac or on Windows?
I am not sure to understand what you mean by 'login'.
The plugin licenses do not require a login, but an activation via the license files received from Sketchucation. You can possibly put these license files on a shared drive to ease the activation by the students.
So, can you be more explicit. What do the students see?
@polosan said in [Plugin Library] LibFredo6 - v15.8e - 15 Feb 26:
is it still available for skp 2021?
yes.
It might be stuck in your Spam folder.
Anyway, you can always access your licenses at https://sketchucation.com/webshop/my-licences.php (just sign-in)
Probably not. I remember there were known issues with the mirroring of texts in some versions of Mac with old versions of Sketchup.
I guess you get this efect with my other plugins (or plugins from other authors) using text drawing in the viewport
@GavinG
When you get the expiration message, did you try to click on the button 'Manage License' and revalidate the license (using the file you received by email when you purchased the license)?
If you do not have the license file, you can retrieve it and download it at https://sketchucation.com/webshop/my-licences.php. Just sign in.
NEW RELEASE: LibFredo6 v15.8e - 15 Feb 26
LibFredo6 15.8e is a maintenance release. It includes changes related to:
Requirements: SU2017 and above
See plugin home page of LibFredo6 for Download of LibFredo6.
First, when you have a problem of license, do not try to reinstall. Just check you have the latest versions.
Also, if you get the message of expiration, try first to revalidate the license. It won't count for a new seat.
Does it work in your case?
I test with a model Jesus Palque.skp which had the Introduction Scene in Perspective and 2 other scenes in Parallel Projection.
The egenration of the video was showing the error you got too, which is due to the transition between camera in Perspective and camera in Parallel Projection
I will fix the problem, but if all scenes are in Parallel Projection, you can generate the video.
Here is the video if you change the first Scene 'Introduction' to Parallel Projection.
It's because you transition between a camera in perspective (Introduction) and a camera in parallel projection.
There is no simple way to interpolate between both, eacept than to switch at a given time (beginning, end or middle).
Considering your animation, I think all views should be in parallel projection.
