OK here is whole error string... I believe the top is relating to extrude tools.

OK I will post the error from the extrude tools in the right thread.

Hmmm ... I tried to create folder with same name but change capitalisation and it would not let me ....does it mean it is not case sensitive system?
confirmed ... same file names with different capitalisation would not stand. OK so the problem is elsewhere.

yes it is under tools... unfortunately for me it would mean reinstalling the root partition . I have dual boot system and I do not really wish to reinstall everything from the scratch. Is there any other way to repair this. That patch that was mentioned ...what does that mean? Also I do not understand is why Thea is gone after updating to trimble sketchup...
Your mirror plugin works fine and some other fredo's tools work fine bit your extrude tools , some fredo's tools and Thomas's UV tools do not work.

To be honest I did not choose anything as the system came with preinstalled OS... I even do not know where to look to see if the system is installed as a case sensitive.

Also your extrude tools do not load....and just noticed that Thea exporter does not appear anymore in the plugins menu... Thea worked fine before updating SU 8 from Google to Trimble.

Guess what Ruby Console does not appear in the tools menu. I googled and I got this explanation.
When I started SU on my Macbook, the expected "Ruby Console" menu item
did not appear at all in the Tools menu.

I figured out why, and I thought I'd share it here in case it saves
others from
similar frustration.

"The problem is that the installed resources and ruby files have
capitalization
that is different from what the installed ruby scripts use. For
example,
sketchup.rb looks for "gettingstarted.strings", but units.rb (and
others)
look for "GettingStarted.strings". If you chose, as I did, to install
OS X
on a case-sensitive filesystem, this won't work.

A workaround is to patch up all of these ruby files to use the names
with the correct capitalization. Change those and the Ruby Console
will work again."
I am not sure what does patch means in this instance.

Yes ... I extracted content of the lib folder and got LIBFREDO6_Dir_46 and LibFredo8.rb. I moved them in plugins folder.

Hi Thomas

I am trying to install your plugin on my Imac and it is posting this error.

Hi Fredo

I tried to install set of your plugins to my Imac and I get this set of errors.

Cheers Dale...
Not much really of a update. Noticed on mac side SU is asking access to keychain... Hmmm..don't remember before being the case.

I wonder if anyone has any idea what else is new in the latest update of SU apart from new icons?

Verbier, Zermatt and Hintertux Glacier....not sure which one I like more.

Michalis you know me too well

Looking good Massimo. What is the mat on the felt tip pen. Some SSS? I like how colour bleeds there.

That second view is from the platform on the Klein Mattahorn... You can see Italy and Cervinia ski area....beautiful...Zermatt is one of my most favourite ski destinations.

Excellent lighting, and I like how the entourage doesn't distract from the subject (building). One thing that bothers me is the perspective, the vertical lines on the building all aren't vertical. Maybe try two point perspective.

The three point perspective bugs me as well...almost always. Though I believe that Podium cant render a two point perspective.
Thanks for your comments!
~e

True Podium does not render 2point perspective but you can do lens correction in photoshop. Just quick try....literary less than a minute.

There are some plugins but I believe they are mostly windows for now....
Have a look at here.
http://wiki.mcneel.com/rhino/meshtonurb

where can you actually download the maps as it seems there is no link to actual maps...or I can't find them

you should be able to import SU directly into rhino. saying that I am not sure if imprter is implemented in beta.

@unknownuser said:

Yeah solidworks is windows as well. Rhino uses the same manifold 3D as solidworks ? And, will it be OK for injection moulding, I know it does nurbs as I have used it in Uni

Rhino is good for injection moulding, rapid prototyping etc. You will have to make sure that nurbs surfaces do not have naked edges...means you have to produce clean geometry.
Btw Rhino has been used a lot in industry to convert 3rd party files to solidworks geometry.
As Pilou says MOI is as well good option for .3DM.
