[Plugin] SketchyBevel 0.1(Updated May 11)

Dan

Thanks a lot, Chris!
Very useful and longtime missing tool.
Can't wait to put it to work.

The ruby works very well.
I love it that one can use it by simply right clicking the selected geometry.
Very speedy.

One little remark:
The ruby seems to only bevel concave corners and not the convex ones.
see image:

Besides the small hickups, this is a very fine ruby.
Thank you Chris.

@Majid,
I believe the issue you experience indeed has to do with the bevel value set too high.

Stinkie

Hm. Weird ...

Daniel S

It dosen´t work in all the cases... but still is very useful

Stinkie

Yup, and it certainly is a step in the right direction.

i click on [Plugin] SketchyBevel 0.1 but this is a link to another page!
...i'm going crazy. please HELP ME!!!

Stinkie

Right-click (Windows) or press command and click (Mac), then download.

solo

Stinkie you have been using your mac too long that you forgot the Windoze system.

Left click and save in your SU plugins folder.

Stinkie

lol! You're right. My humblest apologies! Also: CTRL + click, not command + click ...

I'm gonna trade in my 8 cores for an abacus, I think.

Look at the very bottom of the first post-- under the animating demo. There's an attachment called:
SketchyBevel.rb

That's what you click on. If that doesn't work for you, then tell us what browser and OS you are using.

Like the built in Outliner tool Bevel doesnt work with "holes" in faces. You can usually work around those problems by subdividing the face with a hole.

Here is an example. The mesh on the left doesn't Bevel right. But add a line to break up the hole and it works. Then you can just erase the extra edges.

Stinkie

Thanks for the explanation, it clarifies a lot.

Good call. Didn't realise he hadn't found the attachment.

Works like a charm, thanks for the work-around.

Thanks Chris,
Drawing that extra line indeed works .

Thanks! This is great,good job

Yep, this tool is seriously cool. And when you combine it with Dale's Crease tool and Jim's soon to be released Jitter-- you can do some amazing things! BTW, Dales Crease tool should be a product unto itself, it's so useful, especially in parallel projection mode.
