New, modular SMART Serie Basic Modules
Dune HD Smart B1 - The new, modular Network HD Media Player with Blu-ray Drive
Dune HD Smart B1 is an all-in-one solution for up to Full HD (1080p) video playback, combining a universal high definition media player and a modern Blu-ray disc player in one device.
Dune HD Smart players allow to create custom configurations based on the primary (head) unit like Dune HD Smart B1/H1/D1 and several optional extension modules of choice, which can be combined to form an integrated player.
The Dune HD Smart player itself is a head unit which can be extended at user's desire with extension modules, such as the following:
Dune HD Smart HE (adds the option for easy installation of SATA 3.5" HDD with hot swap feature).
Dune HD Smart ME (adds the option for installing different additional modules, in particular, for reception of satellite, cable or digital terrestrial TV).
Extension modules can work exclusively with the head unit (Dune HD Smart player) and use a common control system, implemented via the head unit. The number of connected modules may vary in a wide range: the user can compile his/her own Dune HD Smart system of e.g. two, three and even six components.
In order to group SMART devices by 2 or 3 horizontally, special mounts can be used. For example, a group of 3 modules, including the head unit, combined this way, will comprise a new player of a standard size like the model Dune HD Max.

Dune Remote iPhone / iPad App
Allows to fully control Dune HD players with Apple mobile devices
|
The application allows to fully control Dune HD players with Apple mobile devices such as iPhone and iPad. Dune Remote has been developed by the Ukrainian company UkrHD and is absolutely free and available for downloading at Apple Store.
It should be noted that player control with Dune Remote is based on commands sent via TCP/IP, and this means that your iPhone or iPad, as well as the Dune HD player, should be connected to the home network. At the moment of publication of this news the publicly available versions of Dune HD player firmware do not support controlling via this protocol. Such support will be fully integrated into players in the nearest future. Anyway, for all who wants to get aquainted with Dune Remote now, there is a special test version of the firmware available for download at the official manufacturer's site: http://dune-hd.com/firmware/ip_control/ |

Fredoscale Plugin Sketchup Direct
In the free version, pressing Ctrl+Z might crash the current operation. Always use the plugin’s internal Cancel button (red cross) before applying the transformation. The Pro version integrates seamless Undo.
Unlike the native tool which is locked to model axes, FredoScale lets you define a custom orientation for your scaling box.
FredoScale is compatible with SketchUp 2014 and later versions, including SketchUp 2022. To install the plugin, users can download it from the SketchUp Extension Warehouse or other reliable sources.
This article provides a comprehensive guide to everything you need to know about the FredoScale plugin, from its core features and installation to advanced usage tips and comparisons with other tools. fredoscale plugin sketchup
Enter , a legendary plugin by developer Fredo6. It transforms how you manipulate geometry, allowing for complex deformations like twisting, tapering, and radial bending—all while keeping your model's integrity intact. What is FredoScale?
Click once to set the origin point, a second time to set the direction axis, and a third time to establish the bending target.
: Scale one end of an object while the opposite side stays static. In the free version, pressing Ctrl+Z might crash
: The streamlined process of scaling and resizing objects reduces the need to perform multiple steps or to create and manipulate temporary models for scaling tests. This not only saves time but also declutters your workspace.
As of recent years, Fredo6 plugins have moved to a "Freemium" or small-fee license model. You can trial the plugin for free, but a perpetual license is required for long-term professional use. Why Every Pro Uses It The real power of FredoScale lies in Orientation .
The , developed by legendary developer Fredo6, completely transforms how you manipulate and deform geometry. While SketchUp's native Scale tool is functional, it falls short when working with complex components. Native scaling stretches everything uniformly, ruining the proportions of door frames, windows, and cabinet handles. Unlike the native tool which is locked to
If your object is modeled off-axis, click the Orient Box tool within FredoScale to align the scaling cage perfectly with the geometry rather than the global axes. Final Verdict
SketchUp, renowned for its intuitive push-pull mechanics, has long been the architect’s trusted sketchpad. However, for years, its native toolset harbored a significant limitation: the inability to perform complex, non-uniform transformations on groups and components without breaking their geometry. Enter FredoScale, a plugin by the French developer Fredo6. More than a simple add-on, FredoScale acts as a digital chisel, transforming SketchUp from a massing tool into a precise, organic modeling environment.
The plugin works by generating an interactive bounding box around your selected objects (whether they are faces, edges, groups, or components). You then manipulate the handles of this box to deform the geometry in real-time.
