  1. Compatibility - Newer LibFredo6 may not work with older SketchUp versions
  2. Plugin dependencies - Some older plugins require specific LibFredo6 versions
  3. Stability - New versions might introduce bugs in your workflow
  • Missing Toolbars

    : If icons don't appear after installation, right-click any toolbar and ensure the plugin is checked, or restart SketchUp again.

    Restart SketchUp. Go to Extensions > Fredo6 > LibFredo6 Settings . Look at the bottom of the dialog box. It will display the exact version number. Verify it matches the old version you intended.

    Solution:

    This means your LibFredo6 old version upd is actually too new for your Ruby interpreter. You need to go back one or two major versions. For SketchUp 2017, target LibFredo6 v6.0a, not v7.0.

    Solution:

    Old versions of LibFredo6 stored images in a specific path that modern Windows security (UAC) may block. Run SketchUp as Administrator once, or extract the RBZ manually into the Plugins folder.
