[Plugin Library] LibFredo6 - v4.9b - 19 May 13

[mitcorb]

In my experience, it may be that the page? loads too fast to pick up the zip, so you get a php temporary placeholder. So, what I have done is cancel the call, wait a short while, and try again until I see the .zip This has worked for me. If you are getting persistent php, then perhaps your security settings are too strong? I am not sure.

On my MacBook Pro, zip files don't display an extension. The just look like a folder. In fact the icon is a folder. Perhaps you could eliminate the extension altogether. Installing the files consists of simply opening the folder, copying the contents and pasting them into Plugins.

Hi guys, this is my first time posting here but I got a problem that I'm not sure if that's already solved or not, still I've just installed the new LibFredo6 - v4.2a days ago and this is what I get whenever I start Sketchup :

And this is the how my Plugin folder looks like :

DIR.jpg

I'm using Sketchup 8.0.4811, via Windows 7. Can someone plz tell me what I do wrong or just how to fix this, I've been using Joint Push Pull, Round Corner and Tools On Surface for times and there's no problem until this.

Thnx alot. I always appreciate you and your works, Fredo6.

[Fredo6]

Not sure if this will solve the problem, but you have a very old version of FredoScale, called FreeScale.

Could you remove:
- ZLoader__Freescale.rb
- FreeScale_dir_20 folder

Thanks.

Fredo

My greatful thnx to you and your quick respond, problem solved . Looks like I have to update my Fredo Scale.
Thnx again, Fredo, you're the one.

These are binary files.
It is strange that your unzip utility (I guess 7-zip) tries to open them. It should not.

Fredo your plugin is awesome, but I can't use it! I run Skethcup Pro 7 on my Mac Book Pro. I've installed your plugin (LibFredo6 first, and then RoundCorner) following your detailed instructions; I thought it were an easy things to do, but they don't work!
Can you please help me?? I'll always be graitfull !!

[oldswinger]

Dear Fredo
I have downloaded the first 4 plugins from your Plugin Library list "Libfredo6 v4.3b - 22Dec11 but cannot get any toolbar icons appearing when I open my SU8Pro programme.
I note your Important Paragraph about the downloading of LibFredo6 in respect of the appearance of the plugin toolbars but inspite of following the download instructions precisely I can only access the 4 plugins via the entry "Fredo6 Collection" in the Tools menu.
I have ticked off the plugins Fredo Scale & Tools on Surface in the VIEW/TOOLBAR menu but Curiloft & Roundcorner are not shown in the dropdown menu.
I would be extremely gratefull if you could suggest where I am going wrong as without the plugin icons showing in the main toolbar it becomes rather difficult to use the plugins to their best advantage.
Best regards
OldSwinger

It might come from the Unzip operation, which is a frequent problem, especially on Mac.
Please make sure that in the SU Plugins directory you have the right footprint, that is:
- LibFredo6.rb
- LIBFREDO6_Dir_43 folder
- ROUNDCORNER_Dir_23 folder

hooooory

[tspco]

Is the LibFredo6-34 supposed to stay in the di
rectory after extracting?

[Dave R]

You should have a folder called "LIBFREDO6_Dir_43" and a file called "LibFredo6.rb" If you installed the current version you shouldn't have "LibFredo6-34" at all.

[tspco]

Well it was there, not now now it just shows 4.3

[gullfo]

not sure if it is the LibFredo 4.3b or the BezierSpline 1.4f plugin, but if the LibFredo 4.3b is enabled, the BezierSpline 1.4f does not work. i get a Ruby console error for line 592 cannot convert nil to float.

Error: #<TypeError: no implicit conversion to float from nil>
C:/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/BZ_Dir_14/bezierspline_main.rb:592:in `-'
C:/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/BZ_Dir_14/bezierspline_main.rb:592:in `onMouseMove'

Fredo tools works regardless of BezierSplines being enabled or not.
NOTE: I only encountered this error since updating to 4.3b and prior to that it was working correctly.

I can't download?

[TIG]

I can't download?

What file?
What problem/error messages?
More information, please...

[supercylon]

I think that I've installed LibFredo6 v.4.3 and the Round corner plugins correctly. But when I launch SketchUp (I'm using Version 7 on Mac OS 10.4.11) is get this error message: Error Loading File LibFredo6.rb
can't convert nil into String

What does this mean and how can I fix it? Can someone assist me.

Thanks!

[supercylon]

I'm running SketchUp 7 on Mac OS 10.4.11. I've downloaded and installed both LibFredo6 v4.3 and Round Corner plugin and both are not working. When I start up SU7 I get the error message: "Error Loading File LibFredo6.rb
can't convert nil into String". I have no idea what this means. Can someone help?

Thanks a million!

Here is a screen shot of my plugins folder

@supercylon

Just in case, can you type ENV["TEMP"] in the Ruby Console and tell me what you see.

Thanks

Fredo

[TIG]

Fredo
I use
tempdir=ENV["TEMP"] ### it's a PC == 'TEMP' or 'TMP'
tempdir=ENV["TMPDIR"] if not tempdir ### it's a Mac

[thomthom]

This is what I use to detect temp path:

TEMP_PATH = File.expand_path( ENV['TMPDIR'] || ENV['TMP'] || ENV['TEMP'] ).freeze

[Fredo6]

Fredo
I use
tempdir=ENV["TEMP"] ### it's a PC == 'TEMP' or 'TMP'
tempdir=ENV["TMPDIR"] if not tempdir ### it's a Mac

TIG,

Actually, my mistake. Yes indeed, I use TMPDIR for Mac environment (or /tmp which may be more secure)

@supercylon
Can you type ENV["TMPDIR"] in the Ruby console
