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: PFAS chemical exposure (Heads up)
Liam, get as well as you can soon...
Reminded me of this dickwad
Thomas Midgley Jr. has been named a “one-man environmental disaster” for two big reasons. He was one of the early pioneers of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) – compounds that became widely used in industry – and which were destroying the ozone layer. He also invented leaded gasoline and insisted that it was safe to use.
Perhaps there is a god, because after that he got polio and was partially paralyzed, he invented a pulley contraction on his bed to move him, but one day he became entangled in it and was strangled !

RE: [Plugin] Roof.rb
The SKP you provided has 2 roof faces at z>0 [faces at z0 don't work].
These 2 are identical in edge sizes and orientations/direction.
The one on the right takes a hipped roof OK, but the one on the left fails with an error message.
This is weird.
However, if you follow the advice in the error message on that problem face. and erase one edge and remake t the new face will also take a hipped roof OK.
Something in your model's database is skewed.
But it is fixable... -
RE: SCFLicense: Extension Licensing on Sketchucation

I can't validate the round corner license, in the extension box the error says communication failed with sketchucation
See the previous reply about why this might happen...
And how to fix it... -
RE: Upgraded PC but now can't export
@grizzler When you [re]installed SketchUp/Layout did you do it properly.
If not then you can repair it without affecting anything you've got set up.
Close SketchUp/Layout.
Find the SketchUp installer's exe file - usually in your Downloads folder.
Select the exe file's icon, right-click > context-menu > "Run as administrator"
When prompted choose "Repair".
When it completes restart your computer and see is SketchUp/Layout now works as you expect...
Running a complex app's installer's exe file by double-clicking it to 'Run' it is not the same thing, even if you have admin powers. -
RE: Julia Eneroth's Viewport Resizer / SketchUp 2023
I use AutoHotkey for many things and it's easy enough to customize once you come to grips with its foibles...
I don't auto-resize viewports, but Rich knows how, and perhaps he can share his example script, or point you/us to someone else's ? -
RE: Purge is crashing SU2024
You should go to the PluginStore and update to the SketchUcation toolset v4.4.0 which has been specially reworked for v2024 compatibility. If deals with the SCF licensing for many extensions.
If you use any of Fredo's extensions, he has also updated them all for v2024 use and don't forget his latest LibFredo too...
After installing these restart SketchUp to sync everything... -
RE: Extensions No Longer Free
Many of Fredo's extensions now require licenses, as do some other authors' work.
These perpetual licenses are relatively inexpensive [typically $7 to $15 each].
There might also be discounted 'bundle' licenses available, e.g. Fredo's bundle contains 8 of his most popular ones.
https://sketchucation.com/purchase.php?plugin=Fredo6Bundle2022
and costs $40/$24 for premium members.Premium members get considerable % discounts.
You also need to install his help LibeFredo6 [free]
licensed extensions also require the SketchUcation Tools [free] installing which sets up the licensing side of things.This page covers all current licensed SCF extensions...
https://sketchucation.com/plugin-list.phpThis is the general licensing guide...
https://downloads.sketchucation.com/licensing/SCFLicense-Instructions_to_Users.pdfAnd this page lets you manage your own licenses...

RE: [Plugin][$] FredoCorner - v2.7a - 31 Mar 24
@NeukJullie
Sometime ago many of Fredo's extensions became licensed.
So to continue to use it beyond the trial period you need to install the latest version of his LibFredo6 and the SketchUcation tools [for the licensing]
It is not expensive, and there's a bundle of several of his extensions offering savings.
Also SCF Premium members get further discounts...There are many posts about this...

RE: SCFLicense: Extension Licensing on Sketchucation
@SergioAlbelli
In addition to Rich's useful info...
We are assuming you have bought a license for Fredo's RoundCorner extension and not his other FredoCorner extension, whatever, then you need to save its file onto your computer and then validate it in the appropriate dialog opened from that extension's submenu in the Tools menu...
There are pages to help you mange your licenses as listed in this thread...
We need more info if you still can't resolve it... -
RE: [Code] realign UVs, or: convert projective to affine
It is a very old thread !
I've fixed the basic syntax errors and added modules etc.
It works in v2024 [should be OK in v2020] - but I'm unsure of its efficacy...

RE: SCFLicense: Extension Licensing on Sketchucation
@November11
Follow the message's instructions on opening the folder and deleting the file.
You might need to rename your computer...Your computer-name must follow the Windows rules - i.e. NO special characters in it...
This is a range of characters that can be considered safe:
Letters (a-z A-Z)
Digits (0-9)
Underscore (_)
Hyphen (-)
Space
Dot (.)
Beyond this, you just have to enforce some additional rules regarding spaces and dots. This is usually sufficient:
Name must contain at least one letter or number (to avoid only dots/spaces)
Name must start with a letter or number (to avoid leading dots/spaces)
Name may not end with a dot or spaceDo you have any special characters in the computer-name OR your user-name ? - I guess you are Chinese ?
Try fixing that and restart to see if that helps...
Let us know how you get on... -
RE: [Plugin Library] LibFredo6 - v14.5c - 03 Jul 24
You are sorely mistaken.
It is not a 'scam'.
Fredo and this site are highly regarded.
The reason you can't use it, is that it relies on a 'Lib' - LibFredo6.
It is clearly spelled out on its download page...
The error message even gives you a link to get it [you need to answer 'Si'].
After it's been downloaded and installed, restart SketchUp so that everything gets synced.
It will need licensing after a trial so you also need the SketchUcation tools installing for this...Estás muy equivocado.
No es una 'estafa'.
Fredo y este sitio gozan de gran prestigio.
La razón por la que no puedes usarlo es que depende de una 'Lib': LibFredo6.
Está claramente explicado en su página de descarga...
El mensaje de error incluso te da un enlace para obtenerlo [debes responder 'Si'].
Una vez descargado e instalado, reinicia SketchUp para que todo se sincronice.
Necesitará una licencia después de una prueba, por lo que también necesitará instalar las herramientas SketchUcation para esto... -
RE: FREDOTOOLS not Showing up after Installed successfully
@seabreezemojito
Firstly: did you restart SketchUp after the installation ? It's needed to sync Fredo's tools with his Lib etc.
Secondly: do you have the latest versions of Fredo6Lib and SketchUcation tools installed ? -
RE: SCFLicense: Extension Licensing on Sketchucation
Both versions can exists side-by-side, so don't delete v2021 just yet.
Does your computer-name follow the Windows rules - i.e. no special characters...

RE: SCFLicense: Extension Licensing on Sketchucation
The error message means the signature file can't be read.
You can follow the instructions and delete the file [folder opens on button click], then re-validate the licenses and see if that helps...
This can happen if you change the name of your computer, it can also be affected if you have computer name that doesn't follow the Windows rules - e.g. the computer's name contains special characters causing issues with the licensing system saved data...
Let us know how you get on... -
RE: Fredo6 Joint Push Pull Error
Have you restarted SketchUp after the extension / lib were installed ?
That should sync everything.
The toolbar & menu items should show up then.
Fredo's extensions are listed under a submenu in the Tools menu... did you look there after a restart ?
Simply paying for a license doesn't license the extension. You need to activate it in the appropriate submenu under Tools...
If you have tried all of this without success, then please comeback for further help... -
RE: Can one delete duplicate files from the hard drive?
@djh
They might have the same names but they are in different locations - e.g. the Exporters and Importers folder...
I do not recommend that you remove them.
Doing so might not cause an issue immediately because they might be loaded by another application earlier, but why risk it ? Your OCD should be kept in check. You could probably find hundreds of 'duplicate' files on your computer - let sleeping dogs lie.
