      SU needs and can catch up with bonzai3d
      Fredo this ruby + other transformation like twist and bend would be really great.

      Get Upa !

        Funny(and sad) that Sketchup on version 7 needs to catchup with a beta release... interestingly bonzai 3d shares a render engine with modo (assuming that it has the same render engine as FormZ)

            It would be great if the Round Edges tool would work like that Bonzai3D image. I've had so much models which use complex shapes that totally effed up when I unleashed the RE tool on them, after which I had to manually retrace the outlines to make them work properly...

            More varied than the Borg, more powerful than the living dead, and better shots than Imperial Stormtroopers.

            You've gotta love Slivers.

              Can you tell me more about this, please?
              Do you have a link?
              It would really be a great news!

              Ciao, Gio

                  hi fredo, great script once more. 😲
                  did you ever figure out how to overcome this type of thing?

                    Hey Fredo

                    This is a great script we are having difficulties with its performance due to a high number of edges. We are currently working on how to extrude letters from .dwg files and we want to bevel the edges of the letters but they are made up of many edges and the script gets bogged down with the task. 🎉

                    Thanks

                    Here is the file we are currently working on.

                      did you try sds on that as you did with the other project?

                        Yes but we are having issues with extra lines showing up and the process is a little time consuming. Was hoping for a tool that was a little more simple in it's approach.

                          i think the follow me tool would be your best option there.

                            draw a face on the top edge perpendicular like this:face.jpg

                            select top face then followme tool then click on the drawn arc, then close the top face:follow.jpg

                              If it is just to round the top and bottom faces, then I suggest you use xrok simple method with Follow me.
                              RoundEdge is more intended to handle the rounding of corners where you apply it to 3 or more edges.
                              The current method is not performing fast, I agree. The script was actually experimental and I did not rework on it recently. Obviously, this is not the right tool for a serial usage. Sorry for that.

                                Thank you all for your input. Looks like the follow me tool will work well for us on simple geometry. We hope that in the future someone will develop a commercial grade bull-nosing and filleting (edge smoothing) script with capabilities similar to what is depicted in the attached video.

                                Here is what we accomplished using the follow me tool on the edges of the letters. We also found that we could use it to make fillets on the bottom of the letters.


                                A Bull-nosing plugin with these capabilities would be ideal.

                                  i would suggest that before you pushpull your letters you clean up the edges, there's no reason to have all those faces on the sides. better yet why don't you just use the SU 3Dtext tool?

                                    That video looks familiar to me.

                                      The video is from a post you made, just wanted to reach out again to the ruby script community. Thanks for the link.

                                        Can't it be more like a real quarter circle ?
                                        Can't it remove the corners instead ?

                                        see the attached jpg...

                                        Thanks.

                                          Hi fredo,

                                          still trying all you great stuff,

                                          have you heard of issues with this on the mac. it's locked up sketchup a couple of times and never worked properly even on simple stuff, still using SU followme. I've uninstalled at the moment because SU itself has started glitching and I even had to re-boot (I think it's called) for the first time in 18mths.

                                          Freescale is working great.

                                          actually should I have it in the BZ_DIR_12 folder with the others or out on its own????

                                          cheers again

                                          john

                                          learn from the mistakes of others, you may not live long enough to make them all yourself...

                                            I am not aware of specific issues on Mac with BzRoundEdge script. Did it work at least one or do you get a bugsplat or freeze right away?

                                            No confusion. BZ_DIR_12 folder belongs to the BezierSpline plugin, which is unrelated with RoundEdge.

                                            As a general Rule, never unbundle files from folders. Always unzip with SelectAll to make sure the folder hierarchy is reconstructed in the Sketchup Plugin directory.

                                            Fredo
