    • RE: No LibFredo6 for SKU 2025

      A simple search in the PluginStore pages, or using our ExtensionStore [which you need anyway to have installed to manage Fredo's licenses], gives you this link:
      https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=LibFredo6
      It clearly has v2025 listed as compatible in its 'More Info'...

      @simulat
      When you did the 'Repair' did you 'Run' the SketchUp installer's exe file by double-clicking it, or by selecting it > right-clicking > context-menu > Run as administrator
      The second way is correct, the other way is wrong, and it can lead to all kinds of unpredictable permission related issues, such as settings being unsaved etc...

    • RE: [Plugin] SectionCutFace

      Everything you have set up looks correct.
      Try reverting to an earlier version.
      It has changed from RBS to RBE filetypes which might be causing the heartache...

    • RE: [Plugin] SectionCutFace

      Whilst it is best with >=v2017 it can still work in earlier versions.

      But your error message suggest that it hasn't even been installed properly.
      It is a 'load error' saying it can't find SectionCutFace_start.rb in its subfolder.
      For each extension, in your Plugins folder you should have a loader file, say 'xxxx.rb', and a subfolder with a matching name, say 'xxxx'.
      In that subfolder there should be the main code file(s) [RB or RBE] and any other files needed by the tool.
      Check your Plugins folder and try reinstalling the whole set of files/subfolder...

    • RE: Image Trimmer Plugin issue

      What are you trying to do ??
      Please read the full guidance notes.

      Simple checklist...
      You need a model with a PNG image installed, which has some transparent pixels which get deleted. It also needs the the other solid pixels to have no transparency at all.
      You need the SKMtools installed to give you ImagerTrimmer.
      ImageTrimmer uses some java applets [.JAR files] to do image manipulation.
      You need JAVA installing to use them.
      Some people get problems because the compression-app is set to open them.
      Also [as it appears in your case] you CANNOT have the .jar file-type extension associated with any other program.
      Perhaps in your case looks like it's been given over to something like WinRar.
      When you install some compression/decompression programs the default set of file-types which they are set up to open often includes .jar - which is actually a re-suffixed ZIP file - just like a SKM, Style or Layout file.
      To stop this happening, open WinRar's preferences and un-check [unassociate] that .jar file-type, save changes and close WinRar.
      Now retest ImageTrimmer in SketchUp and see if the .jar applets execute properly [rather than open]...
      If you set the JAR files to open in SketchUp it will not work - so delete that option.

    • RE: [Plugin] ExtrudeTools - Full Set

      Without knowing exactly the steps and settings it's hard to deduce what happened.
      Some temporary cpoints are not getting made, not returning their position and causing the error message.
      I just checked it and it worked OK.
      But the Temp folder's SketchUp log file does show some missing 'commit_operations', which can cause bugsplat errors etc...
      I'll put it on my long 'to-do' list...
      Meanwhile make sure you same the model before doing anything complex like this in case there's a splat ...

    • RE: SCFLicense: Extension Licensing on Sketchucation

      @maximus

      You need a license for the full version.
      https://sketchucation.com/plugin-list.php

      Or use the free version of ThruPaint which is included in the free FredoTools

    • RE: [Plugin] S4u Make Face

      @Marquez24
      If you have purchased a license from S4u, you will have given your email address, and then got back a 'code'.
      Then to register the licensed extension you need to add the same email address and that code.
      After that the message should not reappear...

    • RE: [Plugin] Shape Bender Beta

      When you say 'not accepting it on download' it is unclear.
      Have you installed it using the Extensions > Extension Manager ?
      If so restart SketchUp and it should appear in the Toolbars list and under the Extensions submenu 'Chris Fullmer Tools'.
      It is an older extension and is unsigned.
      This means that SketchUp will not load it unless the Extension Manager's Loading Policy is set to 'Unrestricted'.
      After resetting that you need to restart SketchUp to sync everything...

      It doesn't use the simplae SUp UI.inputbox method, it uses TT's own HTMLdialog to make the interface.

      It can't be non-modal because it uses the UI.inputbox which is always modal.
      Thre has to be a way of closing the window - in this case it's OK or Cancel...

      The author no longer supports any of his extensions.
      This one is almost 14 years old !
      Are you sure you are following the directions ?
      With the Ruby Console open, before using it, do you see any messages ?

    • RE: Seamless tiling

      The joints need to be whole or a half [or zero]. At the moment the short lengths of joint don't add up to a whole joint, hence the oddity when the texture repeats.

    • RE: [Plugin Library] LibFredo6 - v15.6c - 10 Dec 25

      @gkont1983
      How have you tried to install Libredo6 ?
      The two ways are:
      Download its RBZ from the PluginStore, then use the Extension manager to Install it. After that restart SketchUp to sync everything.
      Or use the SketchUcation toolset ExtensionStore dialog to find it, click to auto-install it - sidestepping the RBZ download. After that restart SketchUp to sync everything.
      You need the SketchUcation toolset installed for the SCF licensing etc - especially of many of Fredo's extensions.
      So I recommend you download its RBZ from the PluginStore, then use the Extension manager to Install it. After that restart SketchUp to sync everything.
      After that always use the ExtensionStore dialog to install future extensions - it's vital for licensing, but it offers lots of other perks too...
