Roundcorner toolbar

[rhots]

Hi, is there a way to keep the roundcorner toolbar active when selecting another tool such as line or circle? Going back to the pulldown every time is kind of a drag.
Thanks,
Rick

Hi Rick,

That's not how SketchUp works. There can be only one active Tool at a time.

But, the Round Corner plugin has a Toolbar (in the menu: Views > Toolbars > Round Corner.) Then, at least, you can activate the tool quicker than using the plugins menu.

Thanks for the reply Jim, the fact is there is no roundcorner toolbar. That's why I was asking. Any ides why mine is not there?
Thanks,
Rick

It should be there:

I do not have "pro", does it matter?
Thanks,

That should not matter.

[jeff hammond]

have you tried to turn the toolbar on as shown in gaieus' screenshot?

View -> Tool Palettes -> Round Corner

[edit] oops.. on windows, i guess it says Toolbars instead of tool palettes.

[rhots]

Thanks for the reply Jeff, but it's not on the toolbar list. If I knew how to post a screen shot I would show you.
Thanks,
Rick

It sounds to me as if there's an installation error. You should have a folder in the Plugins folder called RoundCorner... And some files inside that. Just a stab in the dark but I wonder if at least one of those files is missing or is wandering around loose in the Plugins folder.

[rhots]

These are my folders, thanks

[Jim]

Oops, good catch Jeff.

[Jim]

I am not sure if this is the problem, but there is a newer version of LibFred6 - the latest is version 3.4c

@Dave, you're RoundCorner is out of date also.

[jeff hammond]

those png files are supposed to be inside a folder called IMAGES_Standard
(same thing with the libfredo folder.. the icons should be in a subfolder)

you might want to redownload and reinstall or just fix it manually..

[of course, this is on a mac but i don't see why it would be different on windows.. it's the same download for both]

[rhots]

Okay I created the Images folder in the MAIN plugin folder, and moved ALL image files from BOTH fredo6 and roundcorner to it. Still nothing. Should I have made separate SUB folders for EACH of the fredo6 and roundcorner folders?
Thanks for all of your help and patients.

Thanks Jim, I'll update. It's my work computer and I rarely use that plugin here.

Rhots, I think instead of mucking around with trying to fix the locations of the the files for the plugins in question, I would just delete them from the Plugins folder and reinstall them properly.

[rhots]

Well, when I downloaded the zip files and opened them to extract the files there was only all the random files. No install or setup files, no instructions other than Fredo's at the download site for the folder hierarchy. So all I could do was create the folders, and extract the files manually.
I would LOVE to do a "normal" install or setup.
If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be marvy.
Thanks again,
Rick

Perhaps you should reread the original post in the thread. It seems to me there are instructions right there.

And when I open the ZIP file, it is all nicely organized.

It should have the same organization in the Plugins folder.

What are you using to open the ZIP file in the first place?

[rhots]

As my Father inlaw would say "I got 'er boys". I went back to winzip and noticed the check boxes for "use folder names" and overwrite older files. There were no folders showing so I didn't have them checked. Well that's what I get for NOT thinking...It works perfectly now.

THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP!!!!!!!!!
I'm sure you will hear from me again as I just started using Sketchup a few days ago.

MERRY CHRISTMAS FOLKS!!

Rick
