To appreciate FredoScale, one must understand the limitations of SketchUp's native tool.
: Deform objects along a plane to create slanted or skewed effects. Installation and Requirements : This is a
Sloped walls, pyramid roofs, angled furniture legs. How it works: You define an "Anchor" plane (the bottom that stays fixed) and a "Target" plane (the top you move). The plugin linearly interpolates the scale between them. Pro Tip: Hold Ctrl (Option on Mac) to taper in all three axes simultaneously.
Let’s look at two common workflow killers that FredoScale solves instantly.
: Rotate a selection along an axis to create spiral or helical shapes. Radial Bending
If you’ve ever felt limited by SketchUp’s native scale tool, by Fredo6 is the game-changer you need. It transforms basic scaling into a suite of powerful geometric transformations, allowing you to stretch, twist, and taper models with precision without distorting your geometry. 🛠️ Key Features at a Glance
It turns SketchUp from a "box modeler" into a serious deformation machine.
This allows you to scale the top of an object differently than the bottom.
By mastering Tapering, Bending, and Twisting, you can model complex organic architecture, detailed furniture joinery, and intricate mechanical parts faster than ever before.
You are trying to scale loose geometry (edges floating in space) or reversed faces. Fix: Triple-check that your selection is a solid group or component. Use Solid Inspector^2 (another free plugin) to clean up your geometry before scaling.
