Ok, so I have to wait for the next release?
I am sorry but I am not using Windows anymore -)
I was used to work with sketchup 7 and the round corner plugin without any problems.

I have download and install curviloft, it works really fine and quick.
I have retry roundcorner, still having the same problem.

thanks fredo

Then, it would be helpful if other Mac users could tell if they have similar performance issues.

Hi Fredo,

I would really love to use your plugin, but am having similar problems involving the round corner plugin being very slow to load, selecting edges/faces, executing and using the RC interface. When I open the RC tool palette, SU and the entire computer slows considerably. The cursor freezes and I am unable to select out of the SU program and I am unable to use the cursor to select options in the RC or SU tool palette. This occurs regardless of how complex the geometry is i.e. box, or multifaceted solid. Permissions are set to read & write in the plugins folder on the Mac HD. I've browsed this thread, but don't know if this issue has been resolved yet. Thanks for your help.

DETAILS:
Mac OS 10.6.4, Intel Core i7
Round Corner 2.2c and LibFredo6 loaded in plugins folder

Best.

Chromecatz,

No progress so far, because I cannot reproduce the problem.

Could you drop the two attached files into the ROUNDCORNER_Dir_22 folder, then, after restarting Sketchup, exercise one the laynch of the plugin, the selection of edges and the generation of geometry.
RoundCorner_Tool.rb
RoundCorner_Algo.rb

Also, could you have the Ruby console open during this process, just in case you would see a message.

There is a trace file generated, FredoTraceRoundCorner.txt in the SU Plugin directory. Could you post it back or send it by PM.

Thanks very much.

Re-read the first post from whence you downloaded the main tool... It tells you that the you need to download the Lib AND has a link to get it...

Tikva2,

Could you post the model.
It looks like you have an extra edge on the face.

Thanks

I was just asking if you could post the SKP file of your model so that I have a closer look.

Thanks

Tikva,

I had a look at the model and now understand what happens.

The offset border (in green) on the large face must cross an edge which is contiguous to the main edge (in red) at its extremity in order to be prolonged.

This is the case if the offset is small enough:

However, if the offset is larger, then there is NO intersection of the green border with an edge which is contiguous to the red edge you want to round. In this case, RoundCorner simply defaults to terminating the offset border at the orthogonal projection of the edge to round.

I can try to do something about it, but anyway, it will create problems on the shape which have no easy solution.

You may want to redraw the shaping so that you arrange the first edge on the curved part is longer than the offset.

As an alternative, you can try to use Subdivide and Smooth, which operates on a different approach and is less sensitive to the geometry of edge and faces.

Did you download LibFredo6 and follow the instructions which are in the main post (in particular about the unzip operation)?
