A weld or inside fillet ruby?
-
I was wondering if there is already a ruby that creates an inside fillet or a bead of weld. I know one could use various existing rubies and tools to achieve this now but it would be very nice to have an input window for radius size and also having the bead have rounded off end points. Any ideas???
Thanks,
Jeff

Jeff,
To produce a weld - Why not just do a "Follow Me" with a triangle (eg of side 6mm).
Profile Builder is also very useful here.
You could have all your welds eg 6mm Fillet Weld already set up as Profiles in Profile Builder
..........
skp and some textures (jpg's) attached.
Textures produced quickly in photoshop to give you some ideas.
...........
Once weld produced in sketchup - double click to select all and soften edges to the max value.
............
I know this is not a ruby but hope it helps.
(as you've mentioned, scripts / rubies already exist to help with this !!!)

Thanks Howard....good stuff. I'm just looking for a more automated system. I appreciated your input. It's always nice to learn different ways to do things. It looks like it should be something sort of simple to write, well, if you can write ruby script....right Chris

ahhaha, unfortunately, this gets into territory I'm not that great with - Math! Plus, I'm not sure exactly what your looking for beyond the round edge plugin. That one seems ideal.

Too funny....your quick Chris. When I have a minute....which might be awhile, I'll put together a little Photoshop idea of the dialog box. It might help. And I can't believe your not a math whizzzz. I was checking out your Ruby writing tutorial. Can't wait to try it. You've made it look really user friendly. Have a great day!
