Just go to the Extension manager, select the Manage TAB and click Uninstall on the plugins you wish to remove.

Please do it and report.

DXF conversion is likely to give better results.

Thanks TIG.
Pic2Shape already includes a simplify method, more sophisticated that the Douglas Peucker algorithm.
The real issue is that the smooting is a matter of mixing local and global scale, but also boundaries of pixels, which itself is not always clean.

@nanfar said in SCFLicense: Extension Licensing on Sketchucation:

Hello, I want to remove all Fredo plugins from my computer as if they were never installed before. Is it possible to completely delete everything?

Not sure this is useful. What is the problem you have?

You can do smoothing of curves afterwards, with dedicated tools. It's difficult to do it appropriately when extracting contours from the image, because there are too many situations.

And of course, without the plugin, you can always draw over the image with arcs, splines and lines....

What happens if you click on button Manage License?

Thanks TIG... Now released

The information on Pic2Shape is maintained on the Plugin Home Page of Pic2Shape. This is also where you can download the RBZ file.

• Platform: Windows and Mac OSX
• Usage: Licensed under Sketchucation SCFLicense as of 01 Sep 25
  • Free Trial period (full features): 30 days from activation
  • Perpetual license (3 seats): $15

If you land on this page and are unfamiliar with how to install Sketchup Extensions such as LibFredo6 or how to register on Sketchucation, please watch this video or refer to the Plugin page of LibFredo6.

Pic2Shape extracts contours from images as faces / edges geometry.

The contouring is based on pixel transparency, which can come from the image itself (in PNG), or from filtering in / out colors. The geometry can be generated as:

• Just contours
• Faces with default material
• Faces textured with the image
• FaceMe component

No documentation for the time being. Please watch the video

Overview and Main Concepts

Is there a double quote (after 1:4) in the name of the folder where Animator.

Also, if you post a trace, please use the txt file (_EventLog_video_generation.txt). This is easier to read than a screen capture.

I cannot reproduce the issue with the Stretch tool followed by a SU Rotate.

Do you have it on any object or just this one ?

By the way, it looks like you component is a Dynamic component, or at least was a dynamic component.

@GavinG

It would be good that you show the warning messages.

Anyway, could you invoke the menu Window > LibFredo6 Settings... > Fredo6 Plugins information for Sketchucation Support.

This will list my plugins installed and their status. Just copy / paste the text and post it here.

New Release: Animator - v4.3d - 17 Mar 25

Requirement: LibFredo6 v15.2a

Animator 4.3d is a maintenance release for:

• Bug fixing for VRay rendering

See plugin home page of Animator for Download of RBZ from the PluginStore.

See Main Post of the Animator thread for more information.

What is the relation with FredoScale then?

Note that I tried to rotate both objects, with Undo and try again. I did not find any issue

Could you open the Ruby Console before launching the tools, in order to track possible errors.

New Release: Animator - v4.3a - 15 Mar 25

Requirement: LibFredo6 v15.2a

Animator 4.3a is a major release for:

• Introduction of Batch and Cloud mode for VRay rendering
• some bug fixing

The rendering with VRay has 2 additional modes

• Batch: This allows to register the frames and generate them in Batch, which is slightly faster and allow to continue working in Sketchup.
• Cloud: Automate the submission of the animation to Chaos Cloud web site. When, the job is completed, just finish the process to generate the video file(s).

See this video for more details.

See plugin home page of Animator for Download of RBZ from the PluginStore.

See Main Post of the Animator thread for more information.

I found the bug, but it's not easy to fix.
Actually, I am thinking now to make the tag painting a separate tool within ThruPaint. I don't think users would want to mix painting and tagging in the same tool.

Not in current version.
But I finished to implement both Batch mode and Cloud mode and will publish soon a new version of Animator. Actually, I just need to have the team from Chaos clarify a few points.
