Square Corners

tpstigers · 5 Feb 2011, 04:10

I know there is a plugin (probably more than one) that makes square corners rounded. Is there one that does the opposite? That will take a rounded corner (possibly even an irregular one) and make it square?

You don't say if you mean 2D or 3D. I have a 2D rounding plugin called "raccord_01_b.rbs" that will square a rounded corner simply by entering zero as the required radius in the dialogue box that pops up when you invoke the tool. To use it, first select the two lines then launch the plugin.

I have no idea where I got it though. Given the name, I suspect it might have been one of Didier's plugins but I can't find it on the Ruby library depot nor here.

I am attaching it here but if this upsets anyone, then I'd ask that a Mod removes it.

See http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=198622#p198622 for the original raccord_01 post by menfin...
Most 'Fillet' tools will 'square' a corner [there are several]: e.g. my 2Dtools Fillet tool will fillet/chamfer two selected intersecting lines, preserving any associated faces, adding a fillet-arc or chamfer-edge as you specify - to trim/extend lines you simply give it 0 as the size [the default anyway]...

TIG,
I am apparently not authorised to see that forum.. I guess it's one of the new developers' things or somesuch - Csaba seems to have been making quite a few changes recently!

That's the French forum. You can sign up to any of the open usergroups in your UCP .
