The for SketchUp is a comprehensive transformation suite developed by Fredo6 that significantly expands the native scaling capabilities of the software. While SketchUp’s built-in tool is limited to basic scaling and stretching along the model's axes, FredoScale allows users to orient scaling boxes freely and perform complex geometric deformations like twisting, bending, and tapering. Key Features and Tools
Because FredoScale is a third-party extension, the installation process has a few specific steps:
FredoScale is a comprehensive suite of transformation tools that extends SketchUp’s basic scaling capabilities. Instead of just pulling corners of a bounding box, FredoScale allows you to orient the selection box around any axis and perform geometric "gymnastics" that would otherwise require hours of manual work.

Now that you have it installed, here’s how to use its most impressive functions with practical, step-by-step guidance.

Shrink or expand one side of an object uniformly or along a single axis to create sloped surfaces.
Perfect for creating curved ramps, arched bridges, or curved walls. You select a rotation axis, a target plane, and an angle. FredoScale will smoothly bend the geometry along that arc without tearing the faces apart. 4. Tapering (Oriented) Instead of just pulling corners of a bounding
