      I'm feeling bad for not helping you with nothing since your plugins more than once have helped finishing my (personal or professional) projects, and you never ask nothing in return for this plugins, so if you need any help in any project of yours, (modeling, texturing , rendering etc), some tips, tricks, toturials, info on software or whatever or even just a good discussion, anything that i can help just tell me. i would gladly help you.

      Thanks for your encouragements and warm feelings.
      I am just curious to see what RoundCorner gives when shapes are rendered with tools like Kerkythea, Podium and other nice engines.

        Not completely sure it could be very useful in practical life, but I forgot to mention that the algorithm used by the script allows for custom profiles, under 2 conditions:

        • The profile must be symmetrical
        • it only works in Round mode (not in Sharp mode)
          Of course, I would need to build some GUI to design and select custom profiles.

          I enclosed a few examples in the attached SKP file (SU7 format).

                    Apparently Inventor does just fillet, whether fix or variable offset. I have not seen the 3-direction rounding of corners. And the profile seems to be always an arc of circle.

                          Actually, it is Sketchup that automatically generate the faces. RoundCorner algorithm does not 'see' them.
                          I need to see if I can do something, but no guarantee!

                            It would be great if the round corner could be turned off and just turn it on before render.

                                Dear Fredo,

                                I forgot to say that I think you are absolutely brilliant! Thank you for all your hard work in not only writing these scripts, but documenting them so well. You really are a very generous chap.

                                Kind regards,

                                  Thanks. Interesting, but my first reaction would be that I understand why some of you prefer Sketchup, which is so much natural to use for this type of shapes (except maybe for the variable radius filleting).

                                    For the mechanically minded, RoundCorner is just perfect for all those radiussed and chamfered features. Setting the offset equal to the radius on the end of a pin will round the end of the pin beautifully.

                                      Just loaded this plugin for the first time. I drew a circle and, using the default parameters, clicked to proceed and got this ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

                                      Not sure what it is, but it sure neat ๐Ÿ˜‰ Black hole generator maybe. ๐Ÿ’ญ

                                      Now on to more serious testing. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

                                        you have to change the default parameter (1000mm) to a smaller value or draw a bigger circle.

                                          Yes, I knew that but just wanted to see what would happen with the randomly sized circle I drew. ๐Ÿ˜„

                                            Actually creating black holes and big bang effects was the primary goal of the plugin. It is just a side effect that it sometimes round edges and corners, but promised, I'll fix this inconvenience:D ๐Ÿ˜„
