          ...perpendicular to the starting edge ❓
          I am perplex 😲
          Is not more "at the egal distance from the external commune vertex"? 😉
          Now it is 45°(or 135°) to the starting edge so not perpendicular! 😉

            Thanks for a new trick Coen 😄
            with the rotation tool, pick the centre of rotation and then control the axis of rotation by holding down lmb and sliding in the required direction. Great! I've always rotated the model to get a different axis, which can be annoying.

                    Did this ever get covered anywhere else? To have it interactive right there in the forum post is really sweet. Pointers, tips, tricks, etc. would all be appreciated.

                    Thanks,

                                  Hey Coen Nice tutorial mate but can't you get the same result using fillet ...... just highlight your rectangle and click on fillet and type in your radius.............

                                    I would guess the fillet ruby wasn't around when Coen made the tutorial

                                      Yeah just looked at the date of the tutorial it's been a while, just shows how much easier SketchUp is when you throw in a
                                      few good rubys.............

                                        It's not always about being able to do it easier with rubies. You should actually learn to do these things by hand, with native SU tools so that you model safely and with self confidence. Then can the rubies come to speed up your workflow...

                                          Hey Coen,

                                          I was reflecting myself on a way to make this simple figure (rounded rectangle) easy to do in SU, and i am fallen up on your tut 👍

                                          Using the Rotate Tool along the proper axis to reverse the first two corners, was what i was still missing. 😉

                                          Here is, using your way, a little more quick solution:

                                          PS to Gaieus: no use here of any ruby 😐
