More Fredo6 plugins becoming paid extensions

All of the extensions are compatible with SketchUp 2017.

Amen!

Tend to agree here. To work with SketchUP You need a tons of plugins, but they all work diferently, have their own interfaces and SketchUP becomes a real mess. So, at the end the effort to pay early subscription for tiny-tany ā€œdevelpomentā€, deal with a bunch of diferent extensions just to do a basic tasks? Yes, SketchUP is too expensive. There are better options - Moi, Rhino, BricsCAD, Blender, Fusion 360, etc. Happy paid 1000 Euro for Rhino perpetual license - got so much more for the money,

Hi Guys!
Need Help. I’m a more than 15 ys Sketchup user and making a living with this amazing tool. I’m living in Iran and unfortunately because of political issues (that I never understand) can not transfer any money through Paypal, etc. What can I do? I’ll be appreciated if someone shares his spare license with me. so thankful.

You should be posting your question at Sketchucation. There’s already something in the works for those who cannot use PayPal. See the this link.

Thank you!

Hi, does anybody know how to get an invoice for the purchased Bundle? I don’t find any information on Sketchucation about invoices.
Thanks

Did you ask there?

Yep, I’ve just asked it there, too.

i would appreciate if anyone is willing to share one spare license, im studying and living on kinda tight budget. at least i tried, right?

There are many of us that are on a tight budget. Sharing would expose personal details, I doubt you will get a taker. Hence save your spare change until you can afford it.

Absolute bargain happly paid for the bundle - if i think about the ROI on this it pays for itself in an hour.

You need to flag up somehow in the plugins that they are now paid.

I’ve used fredoscale since forever and updated the Fredolib (invererate plug in updater) and it just stopped working!

I didn’t realise it was now a paid extension! took a day or swearing to finally realise whats going on.

Thankyou for making SU more usable.

Wider issue I think that SU needs to think about how it renumerates the plug in developers(do they?) not just that they can charge for the plug ins.

Yes there is a great open API , but it means that we have different workflows and infterfaces for every ā– ā– ā– ā–  plug in. Thom, Fredo, Su 4 u, etc etc, Skatter etc etc.

You are making their minimum vivable product usable for professsionals. I mean a scale tool that allows to set the size of an object is kind of a low bar.

Use the units with the scale tool to get specific sizes.

I consider myself a pretty advanced user of SU from the very early days.

We’ve built our own BIm system that allows for the the model to be linked to our work schedules.

I can make it jump though all sort of hoops. subd low poly modelling etc etc. complex organic shapes

I never knew you could do this. :exploding_head: what else am I missing!

I am surprised almost daily by what experienced users don’t know about sketchup.

A low bar hurdled two decades ago or more. This is in SketchUp 3.1 which is the oldest version I have.

Whoa! Sketchup 3.1 in action! I got hooked around version 6 but it is soo cool to see this screencast! Thx @DaveR ! And yes - it is often amazing what ā€œhidden featuresā€ something like scaling has in Sketchup. Box-Stretching to Target is on a shortcut on all our machines because it fits our needs so much better. For me Sketchup isn’t Sketchup without Box-Stretching to Target. That’s the absolute minimum I need to install plugin-wise.

For me, SketchUp is nothing without Fredo plugins. A 40$USD for a bundle of plugins I use daily. It’s reasonable.
