    • RE: FredoCorner errors in Sketchup 2026 (on files that RoundCorner has not problem with)

      I would think there is a few issues here that are mesh related.

      • Edge density is at ~650 edges which very high.
      • The boundary has tons of edges in areas that are really not needed

      My approaching to fixing things would be to use Curvizard. Cleanup and resample the curve to re-create the shape with a more manageable edge count. Without affecting the silhouette.

      You could go from ~650 edges to <300 quite comfortably.

      If you overlap the profiles you can see no benefit from the excessive edge count.

      You can then run Fredo Corner:

      I would guess the reason RoundCorner 'works' is because Fredo Corner has parametric abilities to restore or edit bevel post-op. If the input is troublesome then Fredo Corner is saying 'I can't do this because the computation and parametric abilities are not suited to geometry'.

      whether WrapR supports UDIM workflows or multi-tile UV layouts

      Not fully, but you can place shells outside the 0,1 space.

    • RE: Cannot License FredoCorner – Any Help or Suggestions?

      @1115 said in Cannot License FredoCorner – Any Help or Suggestions?:

      1. Do I need to purchase a higher-version license of FredoCorner?
        Or can my original perpetual license still be used?

      No, your license is perpetual so you can continue to use it. Make sure you have the latest version of Libfredo installed
      https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=LibFredo6

      1. Where can I download Sketchucation ExtensionStore v3.1 or above?

      You can download Sketchucation Tools 5 from here

      Is it possible to add an option to not update a particular plugin in the updates list, meaning it should no longer show the update for that plugin and display it with a flag?

      Ignore? We can look at that.

    • RE: Help with using WrapR

      UV mapping is an advanced topic to cover. WrapR comes with an expectation that the user is already familiar with mapping and needs to create UV maps from SKP meshes.

      Without any clearly defined question it is hard to offer advice.

      The basic operation would be to group the mesh you want to unwrap. Edit the group and use the Seam Marker tool to mark seams.

      Send that group to WrapR for unwrapping. Save your UVs and reimport from WrapR in SketchUp.

    • RE: [Plugin][$] FredoScale - v3.6a - 01 Apr 24

      @Mattshiggins

      You can right click and choose Enter Dimensions

      But the TAB not firing on first click suggests something else is grabbing focus. That could be from a myriad of reasons like a dialog open or you clicked something in the tray.

      I've not experienced myself on Windows but have seen a few mention it.
