Safety First: How to Install Correctly

To ensure you are using the safe, verified versions of these plugins, follow these best practices:

  1. Use the Extension Warehouse: Instead of searching the web for .rbz files, open SketchUp, go to Window > Extension Warehouse, and search for "Fredo6." Download directly from his official publisher page.
  2. Update LibFredo6: If you are using older versions of his tools, ensure you update the LibFredo6 library. This ensures compatibility with newer versions of SketchUp (2022, 2023, 2024+).
  3. Beware of "Cracked" Versions: Never download Fredo6 plugins from unauthorized file-sharing sites. While Fredo6’s tools are famously free to use (with a voluntary donation option), malicious actors often repackage free plugins with malware. Sticking to the Extension Warehouse guarantees a clean install.
