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

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...

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.

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

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.

For rounding the tip of a cone, I suggest you use Massimo's method.

With RoundCorner, you can do the rounding, but:

you need to make the edges plain (i.e. non soft, non smooth)
the edges will be themselves rounded, which won't leave the surface of the cone smooth.

Also, for the cone, you can truncate the tip and apply round corner only on the top circle. It's a bit of a fiddling around what settings to use but the result will be fine.

Hi,
thanks for this great Plugin.
But i have a problem.
I have a structure buil also with holes.
When i round the corners of the whole structure it closes
my holes on the side where i pushed the form thru the material.
I hope you know what i mean.
When i make a hole i start makin a circle on the Material.
Then i push the Circle thru the material that i get a hole.
Wehen i then try to round the corners the hole is on one side closed.
On the other side not.
Maybe it depends on me.
Or do you know that problem.
Thanks in advance
Best
Walter

Problem of closed holes is known but difficult to handle because it is Sketchup closing the hole automatically.

Just select the face over the hole and erase it. You should see the round corners underneath.

Normally, just select the face closing the hole and press Delete.
