      Probably the way those who disagree with the powerful seem to 'accidentally' fall from high windows more frequently than you'd expect ?

    • RE: Sketchucation Tools 5.0...

      @i5963c
      The reason the toolbar appears is, because there are updates available - hence the red marker on the first button - not present otherwise.
      If you open the ExtensionStore dialog and choose to install the updates, then close the toolbar, when you restart SketchUp the toolbar stays off, until you next activate it.
      If you don't want the updates simply dock the toolbar in the side bar with others, it's unobtrusive...

    • RE: [Plugin] ClothWorks v1.8.0 - 28 Apr 2024

      @sashapepperspray
      The method File.exists? has long been deprecated, but worked.
      In the latest Ruby version it doesn’t - File.exist? - works in v2024 and older versions as well.
      Many developers are working to adjust their code accordingly.

      Have patience and post any instances in an affected extension's thread - as there are 100s of 1000s of line of code with the tiniest corrections needing to be found and change, then the extension re-encrypted and signed…

      Many authors have already fixed their extensions, so look regularly to see if there’s already an update available…

    • RE: [Plugin] SectionCutFace

      @Joel3dm
      Yes.
      Make the non-auto-updating SectionCutFace unLocked and choose a material/color that's already used in the model [from a list].
      A SCF's material applies to all faces, but you can edit the group and apply any material to any face etc...

    • RE: Plugin to quickly open nested Component or Group?

      Use the Outliner.
      You can then expanded the 'tree' and select the nested Container, and double-click it in the Outliner to edit it that way.

    • RE: Sketchucation Tools 5.0...

      When you say 'this' please be clear. The RBZ for the SketchUcation toolset which also control the licensing and ExtensionStore dialog etc is easily installed using the native Extension Manager > Install... button. Restart SketchUp afterwards to sync everything. It appears in its own submenu under Extensions and there is also a Toolbar.
      LibFredo6 is not needed for the toolset, but it is vital to all of Fredo's extensions.
      If you have not installed SketchUp itself 'properly' then you do not need to Uninstall and Reinstall it, instead close SketchUp, then find the SketchUp Installer's exe file in your Downloads folder [or download a fresh copy]. Select the exe file's icon, right-click > context-menu > Run as administrator - a dialog should open, accept the 'Repair' option, this will reset all of the permissions properly so extensions can install and save preferences etc. In a few rare case with some of Fredo's stuff a further manual deletion of a badly permission-ed subfolder etc is occasionally necessary, but let's cross that bridge as we come to it !

      Explaining how you fixed things helps others reading this, and gives useful feedback to moderators and experienced users who might be 'advising'...

    • RE: SCFLicense: Extension Licensing on Sketchucation

      Did you try doing the Signature file deletion that the dialog suggested and try again ? Also check that the following extensions are up to date and installed and SketchUp restarted - SketchUcation toolset [for the licensing], the actual Extension[s] in question and if appropriate LibFredo6.

      If you have renamed your computer or copied files over from elsewhere, then this error can occur. If you Computer's name [and indeed your User-name] go against the recommended format of just ASCII letters + numbers and some limited punctuation - e.g. you've used accented letters or special-characters etc - then this can also cause errors like this - so try to rename your computer sensibly...

    • RE: [Plugin] Material Replacer

      @LayaCZ

      I have tested the RBZ and it is definitely installing SubD in error, although the RBZ is properly named ?? Perhaps @thomthom or @rich-o-brien or @Gábor can shed some light on this weirdness

    • RE: My Fredo licenses don't work anymore

      Have you installed and restarted the following latest versions from or PluginStore / ExtensionStore -
      SketchUcation tools
      LibFredo6
      Each of the Fredo's extensions raising the issue

      Also issues can arise in reading the license file if your Computer or user-account has a name that doesn't follow the Microsoft naming requirements.
      That is just ASCII characters alphanumeric and some limited punctuation - so for example - users with accented or foreign characters sometimes get this kind of issue as the paths etc are sometimes confusing to Ruby interpretation...

      Have you tried the simple edit for the delauney3.rb script [which it needs] to make it suitable for the newer versions of SketchUp's Ruby ?
      It is explained a few posts above this - https://community.sketchucation.com/topic/136273/plugin-voronoi-conic-curve/131

    • RE: Seats Exceeded

      Ensure that you have the newest versions of the extension installed, and LibFredo6 and the SketchUcation toolset [which manages licenses].
      Restart SketchUp to sync everything.
      If you can't manage the licenses in the Tools submenu entry for the extension, then use the SketchUcation PluginStore page [logged in] item in its drop-down 'My Licenses', which should let you manage your licenses. If all of this fails text back and someone in support will try to help...
