[Plugin][$] RoundCorner - v3.4a - 31 Mar 24

stoneshawnp · 19 Sept 2011, 14:58

I have Tgi and round corner under the same SU 8 install (on XP) and have never had an issue. Try to remove Tgi plugin (or rather simply rename the tgi3d.rbs to something else with a different extension like tgi3d.txt) and restart SU. See if round corner crashes now.

Thanks! That was a followup question actually, how to "deactivate" or "uninstall" a Plugin.. Some seem to be just very simple Ruby scripts (not that I know how to read them, I don't), but others (like TGI3d Amorph) seem to propagate through many of the menus, etc.. and do not offer an obvious "uninstall/deactivate" option that I could see.

Anyway, tried what you said (eg. renaming TGI3DS.RPS to *.TXT and observed 2 things
(1) ALL things related to TGI3dS disappeared from SU 8 (cool)
(2) My BugSplat on Edging 1 face of a simple cube is still there (Not cool)

Any other suggestions? I have attached the new BugSplat log files for any of you why can glean something from them?
Help!

Thx, Shawn

BugSplat files w/TGI3dS disabled

As you have learnt, any file in the Plugins folder ending in .rb or .rbs is auto-loaded by Sketchup as it starts.
I usually add .TXT after the .rb/.rbs ending of name [rather than instead of], as I then don't have to decide what the original suffix was! [others add a '!']. If later on you decide you want to load a particular tool for that session only you can do so by opening Window > Ruby Console and typing load "filename.rb.TXT" and it will then load for that session only.
Now onto the problem... Have you loaded or updated any other plugins recently?
If so try disabling these is turn by 'renaming' and restarting Sketchup and trying RoundCorner each time to see if it still splats... Once you have success you have a suspect - try renaming all of the other ones back again and see if all is well with the one suspect script disabled - if you find it let us know!
There are rarely clashes between scripts - most of the ones available from here are relatively stable/friendly ...

Thanks TIG. I am learning a bit more about the Architecture here.
I renamed my Plugin's directory & created a new empty one.
Then I started re-installing the Plugin's 1-by-1, and so far RoundCorners as such, is working again.
When (if) i figure out the offending Plugin, I will post it here.

Thanks for helping a Newbie!

Fredo, you're a God-send! Thank you so much. One question for you...is there a way to map textures to the curves or have it to use already placed maps? It doesn't seem to like image maps

Do you have an example to illustrate it?

Fredo

Voila! Obviously not a real-world example but it's easier to understand the issue vs. if had i shown wood. Not sure if there's a way around this though given SU's limited texture/uvw functionality...

Small Update...

I went through 1-by-1 and re-installed every plugin I have until I found the conflict with RoundCorners.. It seem to be the Ledas Driving Dimensions (http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=80&t=13808&hilit=ledas+driving+dimension or otherwise http://drivingdimensions.com/. When I disable this plugin, my "BugSplats" with RoundCorners disappear.

... Great Forum! also very interested to see the feedback to the Texture question just posted

I have already told the Driving Dimensions author [Dmitry Ushakov] about the conflicts the tool has with other plugins about a month ago - the faults are on his side because he messes with base class/methods... It seemed OK in v8, but v7 was causing problems with a few tools [similar to SketchyPhysics] - but your problem occurs in v8 ? ...

Yes. Problem occurs in SU Pro 8 (installed on both Windows XP & Windows 7 machines).

Have you installed it as the instructions, with the supporting files etc, as explained on the download page ?
If so why can't you 'use it'?
Do you get Preferences>extension_to_activate/menu_items/view>toolbar>toolbar?
Do you get error messages when using it?
Do you get error messages in the Ruby Console when using it?
Please give more details, to help us help you...

how can i get the icons back up...i closed them by accident? .......been trying for half an hour where to find them?

thanks!

Gaieus · 24 Oct 2011, 06:32

If that's the plugin toolbar you closed, you can reactivate it from the View > Toolbars menu.

I have problem running RoundCorner on my mac with OSX 10.7.2.

Everything was fine on OSX 10.6.x, but after I "upgrade" to 10.7, RoundCorner hangs on processing. I have to force quit Sketchup.

The following images are screen shots when RoundCorner hangs.

I'll have to count on Mac users to tell if they have this problem too (I don't have OSX Lion).
Just in case, can you open the Ruby Console before launching RoundCorner, in case you see some messages before Sketchup hangs.

Hi Fredo,

Thanks for the reply.

Nothing show up in the Ruby Console.

This is a possible workflow with SU's native tools supposing you already have a cone as a start.

aea · 27 Nov 2011, 16:18

thanks , Another problem I found here

Gaieus · 27 Nov 2011, 16:46

From the picture it seems that those diagonals could be safely deleted. Try to run the plugin after that.
