I am having trouble getting my Fredo6 menus to appear. I have all extensions up to date (LibFredo6 8.8a, fredotools v3.3a, roundcorner v3.3a…) the toolbar shows up but does nothing when clicked. I’ve just reinstalled everything and still having the same issue. Any solutions would be welcome.
Have you restarted SketchUp after installing?
If you open the Ruby Console before you click the toolbar buttons, does any error messages appear?
I have. I even restarted with each extension installation.
This error appears
Error: #<Errno::EACCES: Permission denied @ rb_sysopen -
Some of Fredo’s code writes ‘log’ files to a folder in your User’s AppData tree.
Occasionally, if you have not installed SketchUp properly, the folder’s permissions are screwed and the failure to write the file occurs - hence the request to try using the Ruby Console which might show some error messages.
I suggest that you try to ensure that’s SketchUp is installed properly…
Try repairing the installation thus…
While logged in to Windows as your usual ‘user’, ensure SketchUp is closed.
Find the SketchUp installer’s exe file - usually in your Downloads folder…
Select its icon.
Right-click > context-menu > “Run as administrator”
When prompted, choose “Repair”
When it completes, restart SketchUp and see if it improves…
Installing a complex app like SketchUp in any other way will lead to all kinds of unexpected and weird issues…
So never double-click to ‘Run’ an installer’s exe - always use “Run as administrator”…
If this doesn’t work, then you could try deleting the Fredo folder affected…
C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\AppData\Local\LIBFREDO6_DATA_Dir
It’ll be remade as SketchUp starts with the corrected permissions…
