I am not able to see any of the SUbD dialog boxes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled both TTLib & SUbD and have the same results.

I do have a license key, but not able to add since I can't see anything in the dialog boxes.

Thanks!

I deleted the material 'Tree Tex8.jpg', and all is working!!!!

In ColorPaint, you are supposed to load only plain text file (tabular value of colors: name, R, G, B), not images or material.

Understood. I didn't even know that I had done that...!? Thanks again!

Did you define a custom color file?

If so, do you remember where you save it?

In the Ruby Console, could you type

Traductor::Marshall.new.decode(Traductor::Registry.load "Fredo6_ColorFan_Custom")

This should be the list of custom color files.

{"/Users/toddlehman/Dropbox (Cre8Play)/SketchUp/Materials/Archive/Bark/Tree Tex8.jpg"=>true}

I deleted the material 'Tree Tex8.jpg', and all is working!!!!

THANK YOU!!!!

I did however, go to that folder in 'Finder' and Delete the file Colors_RAL_classic.txt - restarted and no change.
I then deleted all files with names beginning with Colors_ and extension txt. - restarted and tried to use the only PlugIn installed: ToolsOnSurface

What is left in the directory?

Just type in the Ruby console:
Dir[LibFredo6.path + '/Ancillary/*.*']

Nothing is left in the directory...?

No change after typing the above.

I don't know what happened during the installation, but there is clearly a problem in a few files which lost their UTF8 encoding.

Could you try the following

• Open the Ruby Console
• copy the following command in red and type Enter:
  UI.openURL LibFredo6.path + '/Ancillary'
• This will open a subfolder of LibFredo6
• Delete the file Colors_RAL_classic.txt
• restart Sketchup to see if this improves the situation
• Otherwise, delete all files with names beginning with Colors_ and extension txt.

Then restart Sketchup to see if this improves the situation.

I did try to copy the following command in red and type Enter:
UI.openURL LibFredo6.path + '/Ancillary'

Result:

UI.openURL LibFredo6.path + '/Ancillary'
false

I did however, go to that folder in 'Finder' and Delete the file Colors_RAL_classic.txt - restarted and no change.

Looking for help..!? When loading any Fredo plugin, I can not see the dialog box(s).

Could you check the version of LibFredo6 you have installed.

Did you play with FredoTools ColorPaint?

LibFredo6
11.6a
23 Jan 21

ColorPaint will not open.
